Pass the Can of Spray Paint, Please....

I love this shade of red.....
Spray Paint is my friend! I love that you can take a cheesy brassy framed mirror, or what ever, dust it off and give it a coat or two of color and have instant cute for your trailer....
This tray & mirror will go in trailer #3 .....

and these sweet, formerly cheesy plastic photo frames will go in the Scotty.....

How can you not love spray paint?!....

I Got a Horse! Well Sort of!

Ok, so last year I attended the Appaloosa Museum "Appy Ride & Camping trip" to benefit the Appaloosa Museum in Moscow, Idaho.
I don't own a horse (yet) so I made a cute Stick Horse and placed it out front of my little Scotty trailer last year....Well this year I was all set to attend the event again,,,but due to some health issues I had to cancel....bummer...because this year I had an upgraded 'horse'.


Well since I have a whole year to get ready for the next ride.... I just might repaint this pony and then jazz up the saddle along with some Bling! After all, it's not like I don't have any projects or anything to do...lol!

Wal Mart Shoppers....

Attention Wal mart Shoppers!

The next time you take a jab at the people who shop Wal Mart stores, you might want to stop and think.... who are these people?
All I know is today 3 ginormous custom motor homes pulled in, you know the kind, private coaches that cost between $300-500 thousand dollars each.... The 3 motor homes I saw pull into the parking lot came from the Northern Quest Casino and I would venture they belong to the celebrities that just performed there. I am in awe, these things are totally self contained and I have seen models with sleeping quarters, luxurious bathrooms, offices, kitchen galleys and sitting room. These have 5 air conditioners! The 3rd motor home was black but with a very similar design, I just couldn't get around to get a photo.
So who shops at your Wal Mart?

I think 'Reba McIntyer' was recently performing at the Casino... could the design which sort of looks like an "R" mean it was her & her group? Hmmmm, I wonder....
Hmmm guess I'll never know.

Trailer Deco....

Peek-a-boo kitty has found her niche' in Trailer #3........

She loves the comfy new 'MemoryFoam' pad I bought for my bed in the Scotty.

" You Talkin' ta Me"?????? my cat with a 'catattude'.... lol! But she is my BFF~ Best Fur Friend!

She loves keeping me company in the Scotty.

Hubby's Silly Moment....

Yep, silly man...enjoying his handy work!

OK, so I like the cleanness of my oven/stove,,I don't want to paint it but it probably wouldn't hurt to give it a fresh coat of white paint..... I have heard that 'Transmission paint' has a high heat tolerance.

The sink is in good shape and a good scrubbin' on the faucet will bring back the shine. But I haven't decided whether to install a Pump Faucet,but if I do then I will have to put in a fresh water holding tank. I have never used my tanks in my other trailers so I will have to think about it.

Hubby putting things away.... OMG! I really do have a counter top! Speaking of which....

I love this front kitchen and all the windows wrapped around the front.

Wowzers....I can hardly wait to decorate! Still need to stain the wood, install the knobs and...now We are thinking we need to replace the counter top.....as this one kinda curls up at the corners...plus it is an ugly faded brown color. 'Home Desperate' Depot here we come!

Hubby has framed out the twin size bed. I am going to buy another 4" memory/high density foam twin size foam pad......I have one in my Scotty and it is wonderful.

Hubby re-wired the exterior lights and now they work perfect!

Getting #3 done....she is progressing and before I know it she & her older sister, 'Scotty with a potty' will be having slumber parties.

More Work on #3.....

All the elcetrical is in & #3 and it works like a charm!

We used non-formaldyhyde insulation.... and Hubby made a easy access hatch to the wires. Which will be hidden under the bed.

This is one of the drawer pulls.... that will be attached.

And the cabinet knobs... I just love them... I got the pulls & knobs at Hobby Lobby at 1/2 price....

Hubby didn't like the sharp corner on the bench so he made it angled... so no more scratches or snags on our legs. Soon I will get to stain/seal the walls and then off to sewing curtains, pillows, cushions and what nots..... #3 is slowly but surely getting done! :>)

She is Coming Along....

Wahooo! power is in!

Getting ready to insulate the wheel wells with non-formaldehyde insulation.

Hubby-dearest framing the box over the wheel well.

What my floor will look like.....it's really a red tile but the photo didn't show up well.

Yep, the kitchen counter is still a messy catch all area! lol!

Me, standing in the doorway & dreaming of taking this little cutie on a Glamping trip.

Just Enjoying the View...

I have been enjoying my little "Scotty with a Potty" (SWAP) this summer ...and now her little sister, the 'Farmgirl on the Loose" (FOTL)has been camping out with her.... which by the way makes it much easier for hubby dearest to work on her.
I wonder what "the girls" talk about when I am not around... I wonder if SWAP has told FOTL all about the wonderful adventures of camping...oh the sights she will see, the places she will go...
Sometimes, when time permits, I steal away for a wee bit, with my kitties and a magazine, and go hide out in my SWAP. I look forward to the day when I can do likewise with FOTL.
I must tell you, I have had some of the best naps in my Scotty. Just don't tell my hubby,,,he thinks I am hard at work doing my domestic duties...lol!

Just Being Silly....

Is that "Mr Wilson"??? (for those of you who remember the T.V. series... "Tool Time".)... or maybe I should say... "I really need to put up curtains".... lol! Hubby had a silly moment.

Me just being silly... and NO, I don't really look like that...Good Gosh, I hope not! lol!

#3 is coming along.....

#3 or "Farm Girl on the Loose" as she is called, now has NEW flooring! yay!!!! now to find 12x12 solid white & solid red floor (vinyl) tiles to do a red & white checkerboard pattern....

Framing out the bed (twin) and storage for the 'port-a-potty'.... we're getting there.

I LOVE this little 'nook' that Gary made for me.. Perfect place to store/display wine bottles or?

Girl Camp...July 2011

Welcome to Girl Camp,,,,July 2011

The 2nd Annual "Girl Camp" in Elk River Idaho, was once again hosted by our fearless leader, Juli Thorson.

Some of the sweet little trailers on the lower pad....(left to right) Patty, Karen, Bonnie, Deb
and (not in pic) Shelly.

Trailers (left to right) Juli, Mig & Grace.

Mig's lil cabana complete with Tiki Bar.....

Here is a better view of Deb's, Bonnie's & Karen's trailers....and up above in the background is Tony's trailer. (not shown are Shelly's & Maureen's...but they were here.)

Mig waiting for someone to bring her coffee...sorry Mig, it's self serve around here! lol!

Juli & Patty....Glamping princesses...



Inside Patty's trailer....how cool is this? a side kitchen! (make mental note:next time use flash for back light! duh!) The sink, counter top & stove/oven are a dusty rose color with copper colored back splash tiles....sweet!

Karen & Shelly 'Chillaxing' waiting for dinner....


Check out Bonnie's cool wine glass... it's a canning jar glued to a candle stick/ holder.... I can see making some as Christmas gifts!!!! fill them up with Lemon Drop candies or M&M's... hmmm, thinking, thinking! lol!

Stephanie, Juli & Ed,,,, checking to see if the Turkey is done.... Ed, our Master BBQ King smoked a turkey for us for our dinner..... talk about Pot-Luck!!! lol!

Oh, did I mention it was Ed's (Juli's husband) 50th Birthday? Yep, complete with an 'Airstream' trailer cake... normally hubbies are not allowed at Girl Camp...but since it was Ed's B-day, and he did smoke a turkey for us,,we made an exception.... lol!

Speaking of cakes,,,, Juli is attempting to light the candles on Ed's cake as niece Julianna stands by with the fire extinguisher! lol! Notice Ed trying to keep his hat brim out of range of the flames!

I LUV this table topper...check it out !it is a custom made saddle pad made by Nancy DeWeir~ Geaney. It was featured in a MaryJanes Farm magazine last year and then bequeathed to Shelly who is using it as a table topper(for now), eventually she will use it for her horse's saddle, but for now....it is Trailer table adornment.... The pad was made from a re-purposed blanket and is supper soft....lucky horse. You can find more of Nancy's creative works at her sites: http://www.darkhorsefarmdesigns.com/ and http://www.gomakeyourbed.com

I just LUV the ingenuity of my gal~pals.... check out what Shelly did to maximize space...yep, she used a couple of those hanging sweater & shoe organizers to tuck & store her stuff. How clever is that? Thanx Shelly for the idea & yes, I plan to organize my trailer closet better!

Is this a Cool trailer or what? it is a Ken Craft,, the sides are aluminum and the front/top/back is fiberglass....this is the trailer with the side kitchen and is owned by Patty (in door way)... Too funny, DeeAnn's outfit matches Patty's trailer... and Maureen is putting the exercise balls to good use...by using them as a cushy seat...lol!

I found this little 'Tea Cart' at a junktique shop and in 'grace fashion' I spray painted it to match my trailer & Voila! instant cute cart to display my hand-me down tea set (Thanx Heather)....

Just a quick glimpse inside my trailer....

Well it's time for me to go take my shower...so I am off to ride my bike down to Stephanie's to use the shower at her little cabin...and yes I am in my jammies...but what the heck,,, as far as I know there are no laws in Elk about it being illegal to ride your bike to the shower in your jammies!
p.s. next time I will bring my other bike, the one with gears...riding over to Steph's down hill was a breeze...it was the ride (uphill on an old gearless cruiser) back to my trailer that caused me to break a sweat...darn! now I need another shower! lol!

Well, sure glad you came and visited..hope you enjoyed the photos and that you are inspired to get a sweet lil trailer and go Glamping! Happy trails to you!
