My New Use for Chalk Paint!

I've always loved white pumpkins and enjoyed using them in my Fall decor last year.  I want to add more in this year; however, I can't seem to find little ones ANYwhere.  Soooo, I bought a box of these little cuties at Wal-Mart and introduced them to my AS Old White chalk paint!

Before:

VOILA!

Now to finish the rest of them!  I look forward to showing you soon where I used these little cuties.

Thank you, Annie!  And, just think, everyone, you could paint pumpkins any of the chalk paint colors you have to tie in with your color palettes!  I bet a few Duck Egg Blues, with a hint of dark wax would be fabulous!  Hmmmm ... might have to try that myself.  LOL

I hope everyone has fun plans for the weekend.  We're hitting the beach with friends and watching college football tomorrow.  Speaking of football, I had fun making this USC Gamecock wreath for a friend of mine ... I have a few more orders to fill.  Don't you just love Fall ?!

Thanks for stopping by!

Breath-taking Views

Lot of my friends and fellow bloggers have came back after few months of hibernation and so I am. Here is the reason why I'd been away from my  dear friend Blogger. My dear friends I was lost in these breath-taking views that I got opportunity to view from my own lovely balcony.

Everyday a new, refreshing, enchanting & cherishing view. This lovely weather has given me opportunity to click lot of wonderful pictures of mother nature and I am enjoying every bit of it. Besides this I was busy doing some DIY projects that I'll going to show you soon. Do visit this place frequently for some lovely inspirations :-)

Love Affair

I have had a love affair for the past 35 years! It just spoke to me right down to the core of my soul. Maybe because it's been a part of my life since I was a very young girl. Then tragedy struck and I thought it was lost...Forever!

What could I be talking about? This...

A sweet tiny Singer Sewing Machine! You see, I have been sewing since I was 8 years old. My Mother said, "Make your own
