I had that problem with painting my old sled, but I gave it only one very spares coat. I think it will weather back again only with a bit more color. I plan on leaving it outside all year and letting the sun, rain and wind give it a good weathering:) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-38695479158719733842017-12-12T08:27:52.639-08:002017-12-12T08:27:52.639-08:00Connie, I absolutely adore your polka dotted skate...Connie, I absolutely adore your polka dotted skates! I may have to do that with mine. Sometimes I have a hard time altering vintage. :) Hubby bought two pork butts to smoke for Christmas Eve. Great minds thing alike. lol! I hosted a club Christmas party here last night and he smoked two turkey breasts. They were absolutely delicious! Your signs are always so stinkin cute! I can't believe the number of stamps you have. I really down sized mine when we finished our basement and I was putting my craft room together. I didn't have anything compared to you. I just mainly kept words and saying, because I hardly use them any more. Had the same thing happen with my stamp pads. Love creating, but family is better for sure!!<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-29958427816415288902017-12-10T08:47:56.248-08:002017-12-10T08:47:56.248-08:00Hi Gloriade, we had a wonderful time with our comp...Hi Gloriade, we had a wonderful time with our company.

Think maybe I could leave the Christmas and Birthday stamps in their drawers and make a smaller version on the wall for all the rest. Hmmmm .We put our sled out aso with greenery and bow. Thinking about painting it. Haven't gotten around to making Christmas cards yet either! Stay cozy and warm!

I love stamps and always want to but more pretty ones, but the scrapbook papers and fabric come first. Your sled and skates look darling too....love the old sled. Used to have one as a child. Good idea to cook ahead of time. I always think when we have company I wish I could use paper plates and bowls, plastic silverware and tin foil pans! I spend way too much time in the kitchen cleaning up! Can't believe we're so far into Decemmber already. I'm making cards too and had better get with it! I have some done. Making them simpler this year. Wish all of us bloggers who live within a state of you could have a craft day!
