Wooden Plaque Redo
I was given a nice set of wooden plaques/pictures similar to the ones pictured above. I liked them, but they didn’t quite fit my decor. Have you ever had that issue before? Well, I decided to do something about it and it was easier than you might think… You will need some supplies, like: ~ Spray on Primer ~ A quart or smaller container of a water based enamel paint in your choice of color(s) &/or a Spray Paint color or your choice. If you choose to use spray paint be sure to choose one one that coats with one coat. I chose one of each. ~ Another color for accent ~…

Let Your Voice Be Heard
This is just my thought, especially since this is an election year, but I think that it is important for Americans to vote. Yes, I said it and I believe it because it allows for your voice to be heard.
