Big Izzy and Mr. Big!

June 8, 2008 · 2 Comments

Wow it’s been a long time between posts. I have to tell you I will be spending most of my free time in doors from here on out. It’s brutal outside in the sun and heat. So the only outdoor activity at this point is swimming. I’m getting quite the tan I have to say.

I have so many different topics I want to update you all on. I want to show you the remodeling we did on the inside of Mr. Big (the rv), I have a bunch of new cards to share and of course who can forget Queen Izzy! She has been promoted from joker to queen.

I’ll start off a little with Izzy! Remember her the cute little black puppy. She is turned out to be a wonderful addition to our family. She is so funny, the things she does and her different expressions. I have some cute pictures to share!

The picture on the left is of her getting ready to attempt to catch a ball Kevin is throwing for her. The on on the right is me talking puppy talk to her so she makes her cute face. It worked, she’s so so cute. If you look on her chest she has a butterfly shape of white fur. It’s really pretty. She also has a little white spot under her chin that looks like milk dripping off. Can you tell I’ve become really attached to her. She’s really attached to us as well. So far she can give her paw, she can sit and stay and she is completely house broke. Sense we got her I think she’s has maybe 5 accidents inside and she tinkled, thank goodness we have tile floors. She hasn’t had one in about a month now so I am sure we are past that stage. Ok enough about the dog..LOL

We Moved the inside of the RV all around!
Our home is a 34 ft. Fleetwood Bounder Class A motor-home. We don’t have any slides so at times it seems a little cramped. Well I cam up with a great idea to fix the problem and I must say it’s wonderful inside now. Allow me to show you what I mean. If you go to the rv pics page of my website here  you can see how the rv looked before inside. It will load in another window so you don’t loose your place here. Then take a look at the pictures I’ve posted here you will see the huge difference in our living space.

This first picture is of us starting to move things around. We had already unbolted the
passenger chair as well as the extra swivel chair and side table.
(you can see what I mean in the pictures on the rv picture page of my site).
It looks a total mess because I had most of my card making supplies stowed under the couch.
Boy do I have allot of craft stuff. I down sized during this project.

This next photo is when we were we are taking out the drivers seat and had
already moved the couch to the other side of the rv. My goodness, I almost didn’t show
any of these because of the clutter all over from the stuff under the couch..LOL

Finally this picture is of the finished project. I took a flower sheet and hung it
to block off the steering wheel and dash. I will be changing this to a pretty fabric from
Michael’s next time I go shopping. For now it’s fine and kinda “girlie cute”

We have so much more space now. I love it. We stored the seats in the inside
storage provided by the owners. Before we could be ready to go at any given
time with in 15-20 minutes. Now it will take us nearly 2 hours to prepare for take off.
If we were moving anytime soon we would not have done this. As it looks now we will be here till Oct
so this is great for now. Everything we moved can be put back to its original layout. I Love it. I hope you enjoy
looking at it.

I’m guessing I’ve rambled on enough now and this post is getting a bit long. I was going to show some of my new greeting cards but I’ll save it for my next post. Hope you all are having a safe and fun summer!!
