<span style="font-size: large;">New supplies in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSolderedSparrow?ref=pr_shop_more" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> AND New original Antique chocolate mold Pink Sugar Bunnies for Easter 2018! These are my unique design. There are many makers of chalkware but, I am sure you can see that I have put my own unique spin on these darlings. I have just been busy pouring for my Christmas pieces (already??) They take quite a while to dry for paint so, I am getting a jump start! </span></div>

A little bit goes a long way, it is simply amazing! New Bethany Lowe garlands are arriving tomorrow, including the 10 yard spools! Bethany doesn't make as many colors as she used to but, I can't live without this stuff! </span></div>

Toot toot, I am going to Toot my own horn!!!I mean, what was a girl to do? <b>You have to have somewhere to hide the Excedrin!!</b><br />

The <a href="http://www.graphicsfairy-diy.com/">Graphics Fairy </a>has the most wonderful ideas and tutorials available! I used her <a href="http://www.graphicsfairy-diy.com/search/label/Transfer%20Printables">graphics </a>and followed the <a href="http://www.graphicsfairy-diy.com/2012/01/12-easy-image-transfer-methods-for-diy.html">Transfer Tutorials </a>she has on her blog. She lovingly restores old images and the best part? She graciously let's you use them for FREE!!!!!! Stop by and see what Karen and her crew are up to and come back and see me, next is the bathroom shelves, well they are exposed? What do you expect me to do? Roll my towels and line up my nail polishes? NO Way, wait till you see my cute crates, but we will save that for another <a href="http://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/search/label/Brag%20Monday">Brag Monday!!!! </a><br />
