To Paint or not to paint

Going back to our other house in june. I am deciding what i want to get done before we move. My kitchen is a really pretty creamy yellow with white cabinets.  I love my kitchen here, it is a taupe color but totally different type cabinets. wood grain.. I don't know if i want that color in my kitchen at the other house or not.  My photo shows the kitchen before we moved and it is a little dark but maybe you can see and give me suggestions.

What to do with all those pots

Do you have different sizes of pot's that your plants came in from the nursery? do you toss them? do you reuse them?  If you have any laying around, i would be interested in them.. If you have enough to make it worth gathering up... I am going to be in need of many many pots.. So any time you can gather them up and have enough to ship, i would love to get them.. I do not need heavy clay pots, just the kind you get from the store and take your plant out of when you get it home..Small ones, and large ones, square ones and round ones. I will pay the shipping and for your hard efforts , enter you in a drawing for a thank you gift.. What kind of gift you say... I will have something figured out if i get any participants... Pass this along to any one you know that may be interested in saving me some pots...

Sister and I are starting our own nursery... So exciting.... Lot's of work has to go into this.. It will be a while before it is all up and running.... I just have a few questions for anyone that would like to take the time to answer them... NO this is not like in school, don't be afraid, no grades given for this... We are in the process of gathering information on what types of plants do best in certain areas of the country.... We will have a drawing  at the end of gathering this info... Gift for the drawing will be announced later.. Just let me say it will be flower related...

1. Where do you live... Just the state and your zone...

2. When do you start planting your flower garden...

3. What grows best in your area.. Type of flowers, shrubs, ornamental grasses, trees, succulents,

4. Do you have a heavily  landscaped yard, or just a few beds of flowers.

Check out my Men

Sound intriguing??  Well i went into town to fill a prescription and get a hair cut.. I had to make my way down a block or two to one of my fav places to thrift..  I went in and made my way down the isle like i always do.. The little lady at the desk said.. Look how mean i have been.. I said What do you mean.. you been mean... She pointed.. I had walked right by these two Hunks and did not even see them..  She said i pinched their heads off.. I cracked up..  I said well how much for the damaged goods..  She said those are 5 each... I said hey handsome, wanna go home with me...  They did...   Because they heard i had the little lady at my house already..  I wonder.. Do you think these men would mind? IF i were to put a  bra on them and frou frou them up with some pink lace..   What ya thing..

As the son of God promised He did rise again... Just as after death on earth I too will rise again to meet him in the air.  I love a song my mommy use to sing about this very thing..


 I'll rise again, ain't no power on earth can tie me down....
 I'll rise again, Death can't keep in the ground...  It does bring tears to my eyes and joy to my heart the Jesus paid the debt for me  so that i too can enter into everlasting life and spend eternity praising and rejoicing him.  Happy Easter to each of you..

The Other White Meat.. Oh The other Rose Makeover

I know i am being silly.. In the first post of the plaster rose makeover you saw two sets of the roses.. I painted the first set, and had many nice comments on it... I decided to paint the other a different way.. I love pink and gold together, so i did this one in a white washed pink and a dirtied up gold.. NO other way to explain what look i was going for. I guess already old and faded out some. Let me know which one you like best and i will do the other one the same.. Because it is only paint you know....
