My new craft paints arrived on Monday, and I’m so excited to give them a whirl!

Now it might look like I went a little bit overboard, but I wanted to get the free shipping. Plus, it is nice not having to mix paints – Especially when you are dragging out a project over a couple of days. It’s near impossible to mix the exact same shade twice.

And besides… they fit just perfect in my paint box, along with the few older paints I kept (Dave took the crappy CraftSmart.. I don’t know what he thinks he’ll use it for, but he wouldn’t let me throw it out)

The older paints I kept are the few Martha Stewarts leftover, as well as some Folk Art Metallic which are at least 25 years old! And still paintable like they were the day they were bought. I really hope the new ones are just as good.

Hopefully, there will be some time to get back to the other planters soon.

If course, there’s other projects in the works…

I’ve been collecting Fairy/Gnome Garden things…

But working on them will have to wait until the garden centres open and bring in all the fun sedums and tiny plants. It shouldn’t be long now!!!
