Spotty posts...

I have found when I try to stream line what I post in my blog, I just don't bother with it.  Maybe that's because I hate to be "told what to do" (even by myself!), or perhaps it is because it take the spontaneity out of it and its just no fun anymore.  I don't really know why exactly, but I will definitely try to get cracking getting more of my thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc., on here for you. 

Right now I am in the process of weeding extra "junk" we don't use and want out of our house, along with stuff the kids have outgrown (there is a lot to go!) and things that just never get used. In this process I have been forced to look at a lot of things that I haven't even thought about it a very long time and have found some inspirations for other projects!  :)  Like I need more projects going.... oh well.  I will try to at least photo document them here and there and hopefully not be so inconsistent with my posts.  But then.... you never know.  I have the heart of a gypsy and the brain of a kid with ADHD on crack, so who knows how that will go. 

I INTEND to post lots of good stuff.... but time will tell. 

Decoupage musings

Hi all!

I am getting ready to make a wood address sign for the area by my front door.  I picked up a wooden plaque which I will sand, prime, and paint.  I also found some cute house numbers that I will also prime and paint with either a dark navy or black.  I am going to decoupage some scrap book paper over the front of the plaque, with the painted decorative edge showing through around it, and affix  the numbers with a good glue that will (probably) hold up outside in the hot, humid FL climate.  Around the numbers I will be decoupaging a "frame" of pretty little flowers in light blue, light red, and pink.  I'll take a picture of it before I put it outside so I can share that with you.

I hope all is well with you all.  :)
