Painting Season!

Well, really, I can paint ANY season, but for some reason I really want to paint today!  Has anyone tried Martha's new paint line?  I am really interested in how her paint handles glass.  Must paint a snowman!!!  Wish I had a place to sell my stuff so I can justify painting more stuff.  This weekend is the Moonshine Festival.  Maybe I could get Hank to stand on a corner with my windows.

I did try making apple fritters today.  They were ok.  Not up to Kroger standard though.  The boys ate them, so they were not a total bust!  My next experiment will be lasagna soup.  Still looking for a good black bean recipe - black bean chili or black bean soup.

Lindsey has been creating lots in her new home.  Her burlap wreath is really cute.  I wish I had a picture to show you.  She is really enjoying decorating her home - doing a lot of up-cycling/recycling with old finds.  She is really getting into it.

I guess I better go dig out an old window so I can paint me a snowman.  Anyone need a new Christmas decoration?  I can give you a deal.....
