    It’s happened again…I just have to make some new things I’ve seen on Pinterest.  
    Such as these Kale chips! 
    OH YUM!
    Crispy, crunchy, healthy, yummy.
    Here’s a link to the the original post. 
    Credit where credit is due….

    The second inspiration didn’t have any readable instructions…just a series of photos pinned. So, unfortunately, I can’t give credit to whom it’s due.

    Here’s the original “pin” (left) which summed itself up nicely.

    <-----
    I used an ugly canvas I picked up at a garage sale…gessoed and tissue papered it before painting it green.
    I thought the green left behind my leaves was a little boring so I went back with painted and retouched them. 
    Looks pretty dumb on the shed door but I happened to have a nail there for the photo op.
    Have you been inspired lately?

    Inspired by Pinterest

    In the weeks leading up to Easter I saw a few ideas on Pinterest that I thought…
    “I could totally do that!”
     
    I made this wreath for my mom’s apartment door. 
    And these cute little deviled egg chicks for Easter.

    Of course, today I went to link to the original pin and share the link to the owner of the photo…no luck. 
    It says “original pin deleted”. 
    All I have is the photo in Pinterest. 
    I’m not about to post someone else’s photo on my blog without being able to give a photo credit. 
    Yet another reason that I’m now labeling my photos.

    Garden 2012

    April 1, 2012 - By 
     Preparation for this years garden has begun.  
    All of my seeds have sprouted into these cute little seedlings…hooray!
    I have 4 varieties of tomatoes, basil, mint, parsley, thyme and dill in one tray and petunias just getting started in the second. 
    Not sure if  the flowers will be big enough by the time I want them outside but I had to try anyway.

    The garden plot is waiting to be prepped as well.  
    I haven’t dared do any raking or hoeing since hurting my back. I’ve got plenty of time though, we usually don’t plant anything outside until after Mother’s Day. Then the chance of frost is pretty slim.
    Can’t wait to get the rest of the seeds into the ground! 
    We love having a garden to eat from.
