Hello dear ones, We have a class this coming Thursday night (6-9 p.m.)! Introduction to Furniture Painting, featuring Amy Howard’s One-Step Paints. Instead of working on silly wood moldings, I’ve stalked the local thrift stores for lamps, like the one pictured, to paint! We can cover all the same important elements of furniture painting, while leaving with something that you can actually use! Go figure! The class is just 3 hours, all supplies (and lamp) included…for just $49.00! I have just 3 spots left, so register soon, at www.thetreasuredome.com! Edited with BlogPad Pro
I’m sitting on the plane right now, heading back to Sacramento. I had a great visit, with family in Illinois! A direct flight, with Wifi…. what more could I ask for!? Any-who….. Amy Howard and her team of pro’s, are often sharing amazing techniques on her blog (amyhowarddaily.com) that I have to share! I have just the piece to try this on, that I’ll share soon, but for now, we’ll follow the process on a piece of molding. I tried this process, back at the shop, before leaving, using two shades of aqua and it turned out beautifully. This process…

Greetings!, Did you miss me? No, you don’t have to answer that! Anyway, just at the moment, when I was going to slit my technologically impaired wrists, I think I’ve discovered an app for my Ipad that may just save me from the brink of disaster! I hope your Mother’s Day, was in fact your day! With no children in the area, and my mom up in heaven, it was just Mr. Wonderful and me this morning. Per my request, I got to sleep in, until 7:28! After Mr. W’s low-cal buttermilk waffles, slathered in butter and syrup…and a quick shower, we…
