I have some fun projects I would like to Share with you.
So I hope you enjoy your stay, and if you don’t mind take a Seat on the front porch, and Sip a little Something!~
Our Japanese Maple this year is just beautiful. When we first bought it three years ago it was very tiny and scrawny!
The purple clematis has taken off very nicely too this year. The only thing I do to this is trim it down in the winter, I can’t believe how fast it grows.
This Jasmine we planted four years ago when we first moved in….again I do very little to it, but trim it. It smells really pretty when you are walking up to the entrance. Now on to some projects.
This was a fun little project on windy day… I still have some yellow paint on my knees from a couple of days ago….anyhow we see these pots with the numbers on them and I thought I would give them a try….I chose the bright yellow because this is on the side of our home where the mailbox is…and we are forever getting other peoples mail, and Dominos never knows where to go….so THERE in your face you can see the address now!~
My $3.00 find at Goodwill today….thought surely there is something I can do with it!
Thank you so much for visiting with me today.
If you are new here, I am also very excited to share my new stencil line with you.

Glad to see there is still hope for my Japanese Maple. This was a tough winter up here in Chicago.
Love the yellow pots with the numbers. Too fun and cute. I'm going to have to give something like that a try.
Great entrance, but I would just pull up a rocker, grab a glass and sit for a spell.
Toodles,

Everything looks lovely, funky and unique! You did a great job as always and, boy, would I have grabbed up that wooden handled stand/rack, too?! Glad you enjoyed your visit to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, it is an awesome place! TFS!

First off…I love your photography! Especially the close-up photo of the two #1 pots and the petunias. Then there's the watering can with the address on it…you've given me inspiration to dust off my old watering can and turning it into something useful! Too cute!

Debbie, Wow. Wow. Wow. Your Clematis and Japan Maple are stunning! Your front yard has tons of 'curb appeal'. Also, I think your blog is fabulous. I've just discovered from Susan's Outdoor Wednesday.
I'm off to read more. I am loving your sense of humor.:)

Isn't Spring so lovely! Especially at your house — thanks for your very sweet visit to my Spring tabletops.
Jan @ bobbypins boardwalk
Debbie, you house decor is as bright and colorful as you are. I absolutely love the yellow pots with the black letters — so striking. Yes, I would love to sit there and stay a while. The combination of your items draws me in.
You just do not stop, girl. You know — sometime you're going to sit down and realize that you're really tired (haha). You'll take a five hour nap or something. I admire your stamina and would like to know what vitamins you are taking.
(((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))

Thank God for inventing spray paint! I used the last of the pink that I painted the candleabra with and painted my chest freezer pink! My husband thought I was crazy, but I was tired of the primer silver he had added to the rust spots!
Bonnie
Great ideas for painting porch items!! Love the numbered pots! Maybe it is just me, but when I first glanced at your jasmine picture, it almost looks like the shape of a rooster!! Or am I losing it….!! I'll be gone all weekend so have a great Memorial Day holiday!!

Hi Debbie, everything is beautiful! I love all the colors you used! LOVE the pots – I might have to exchange the ones I got at TJ and get our address instead! Have a great day! ~Marcy

Great idea with the pots! I think you need to be the spokes person for that yellow paint! Why don't you contact the company and tell them all the things you have painted and maybe you can get your pretty face on one of those cans, or a commercial, lol! I love that yellow, thank you for finding it for all of us!

Hi Debbie,
I like your new cross and agree with you about distressing it. Your magazine holder has given me an idea for the magazine rack I found a few months ago. I think I will paint mine turquoise and put it on my back patio where I like to read.

Your porch is lovely – I could sit there for hours. But I must move on. I really like the cross – I agree, distress it a little.
Debbie@Debbie-Dabble
What a beautiful yard with some outstanding flowers and I really love the red maple!!
I adore your yellow pots and everything that you painted that color. After seeing your chairs that you painted in that shade in an earlier post, I painted a few things yellow too. I am waiting until my impatiens and other annuals that I painted fill in a bit more before I post pics.
