It's 830pm on a Monday night and I am bidding adieu to a long work filled weekend (my day job gave us Monday off, yay!) A lot has been happening since I last wrote...so with my feet up and Tank on my left squeaking his new Kong ball, let me recap...
Friday: Leave work, make feeders...this is a never ending battle! Got some new stuff posted for my site and pics sent off to some stores for drop shipping...The day was beautiful so I later snuck off to the beach.
Saturday: More feeders (do you see a pattern here?) In the afternoon I went out to DoubleWide Surf Shop and got my newest Skate It Forward applicant, J.P., signed up as well as interest from other skaters. I'll write more on his project on my new Skate It Forward blog, courtesy of my lovely baby sister, Lynn. I think it's a great one though! Got Doggy Go Greens feeders packed and ready to go on my way home, and then off I sped to a pig picking in Beaulaville...If you have never been you should try it, North Carolinians make them some deeeeeelishouusss barbeque. Afterwards I was able to make it to my favorite pub to listen to some great blue grass music.
Sunday: More feeders cut, I just bought a new hole cut saw for my drill press, so the skateboards cut like butter right now, it's great. I'm trying to gear up for the Azalea Festival in Wilmington, NC next weekend, so the more feeders the better. This will be my first festival that I've done, so I'm curious to see how they will fare. Cross your fingers...
Monday: More homework (I go to school at night), moved my office to my new spare bedroom, and yep, you guessed it, cut more feeders. I was able to get out and buy some beautiful annuals for my garden, finally got them planted tonight.
So now I'm done (for now), there is a siren going off in the distance and Tank, my youngest lab, is howling at it. I'll keep you posted about the Azalea Festival with DoubleWide...It's gonna be ridiculous!

Skate Dog Studios presents: Skate It Forward
It's Sunday night, the boys are piled on the couch with me and I think it's about time I talk about my newest adventure...Skate It Forward.
Skate It Forward is a project I'm working on to highlight skateboarding and its riders in a positive way by helping out the community through paying it forward (Skate It Forward). The way it works is simple, if a person is under 18 years old and comes up with a plan to help your community in some way either through volunteering, cleaning up the environment, donating, anything they think would be a worth while project and keeps their grades up in school, I will provide that person free decks to ride. When the decks are broken in, I'll take them back, exchange it for a new one, and make the old deck into a recycled feeder...pretty easy right?
Below are some images of my first Skate It Forward recycled feeder
This GIRL skateboard was skated by a youth from Ogden, NC who is Skating it Forward by helping keep the area around the Skate Barn, an indoor skate park in Hampstead, NC clean (www.skatebarn.com) He makes sure to keep his grades up in school and takes time out on the weekends to pick up trash around one of his favorite places to skate, keeping it nice for everyone else who skates there.
In the weeks to come, I'll be highlighting more riders and what they are doing to help the community, pretty exciting stuff!
If you or anyone else you know is interested in becoming part of Skate It Forward, either through skating, donating boards, or just helping me make Skate It Forward bigger and better, please don't hesitate to call (910) 376-2619 or email me @ info@skatedogstudios.com...a big thanks ahead of time:)
