Folk Art has 'Enamels" paint for glass such as mugs & wine glasses etc. It has to cure for 21 days before using which I did but I used the glassware inside. The bottle doesn't say anything about outdoor use.You can go to www.plaidonline.com & see if they have more up-to-date info of these paints. I just got that info off of Engine red color of enamel. Gallery glass is what someone used on shower door but I think it was kept in shade, it does fade in sun. I did some flowers on mom's door window between garage & covered patio & they have not faded because it is low light. Jan

Marie, I true am sorry for hell week for you. This is what all this sounds like. Just BREATHE. You will get through it all will be better you will be happier this are gonna change for you! IN A GREAT GOOD POSITIVE WAY! Want me to keep repeating THAT to you? Your daughters room will be pretty and unigue and she will love it! Her and her friends will have a blast painting it! My son wanted to do green/blank/white stripes with black trim and a black carpet in his room I was going to him but we moved out of that house before we got it situated because the landlady was insane! We lived there a month! It will all be ok we will all get through all we have going on! One day at a time. HERE IS MY NEW UPDATE: (just copied from another post it was easier) The good news for us is we just found a place to rent that we pretty much had been looking for for YEARS! The bad part is, I have to MOVE. The electric com. there is HIGHER then ANY OTHER ONE and the house is TINY, TINY, TINY!!! Gosh where am going to PUT EVERYTHING? The GOOD news is: There are over 50 acres available to use for horses/cows, we can have a pig, chickens, or any other animal it is already set up for a chicken house. There is a creek on it the yard is LARGE there is a HUGE garden spot and 2 more places the gentleman said we can put a garden if we want THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS TO THE LAND AT ALL! He said I can put in ALL the FLOWERS I wanted all he asked is we take care of the house with is NOT a problem and the place is CHEAPER then HERE and it is back in the area we used to live! Gee whiz I think I just convinced myself it is worth moving too after all. I have been dreading it but looking at the pluses there are more of those then there are minuses! BUT the major on is I HAVE TO MOVE, I HATE moving! And the house being smaller is a downer to me too but hey I get to plant whatever my heart desires how great is that? I am happy about being able to plant whatever BUT the yard PRETTY much ALL of it is overgrown and has bramble bushes all over that will have to be cut out those stupid tree bush things can't think of what they are BUT we will be cutting wood and srubs out all summer and MAYBE YEARS to come IF we stay there any lenght of time. It will be a lot of work but no close neighbors and all the other pluses are well worth the move even though there will be a lot of losses too. I have a LOT of stuff that I am not willing to part with and will have to get a building I guess to store it all in. For the most part I am happy but NOT looking forward to moving in gerenal and all my plants are not up yet and I will be losing some of those I fear! It irks me to because I just started trading for them last season! No, I am not sure were all of them are even though I DID put plant markers up the stupid stray neighborhood cats scratched/laid/fought in the beds and misplaced the labels! OH well, Marie I am truly sorry life hit you so hard these last few months if there was something I could do to help fix it I would! diene, when I said I would go ahead and post the March month I meant after everyone had posted they had received. I KNEW it was going to be a few more days for those :) not rushing anything BELIEVE ME! Cause that means I will be one more year older! Later everyone, please check in. Boy howdy, I didn't mean to write a book! :) Fran

So first please tell us a little about yourself and your eating and cooking style. Who lives with you, favorite colors, hobbies etc. (This will be my first swap and I am really looking forward to it so here goes: Love food of all kinds and love to cook. I like trying new and differant things, like to challenge myself in the kitchen, and enjoy cooking more gourmet style than just the norm. Love salads and veggies, and usually try to have those with every meal. Not so much of a fruit person during winter although I love mandarin oranges and fruit salads. In summer I love fresh berries! I have a husband who travels a fair bit and loves food and trying new things , as well as a fourteen year old son who is also quite the foodie. (he has a real knack for seasoning foods). We have a little rat terrier dog named Jet. My favorite colours are black, aubergine, burgundy, gold. I love to paint and do artwork, crafts, decorate, and although I definately don't love it I do do alot of gardening in the summer. Then, I would like to know your favorite cookbook. Types of cookbooks you always look at. Do you like to write in your cookbooks when you find you need to alter a recipe to make it work or do you believe books should not be written in? (This would be another hobby of mine. I love cookbooks! Love reading them, the way people read novels. I don't really have a favorite as I am constantly using all of them as well as new ones. I have hundreds! Had to stop collecting food magazines as I was running out of places to put them, and I hate to throw them away!. The librarian's hear know me on a first name basis, as when I am getting ready to do a dinner party I have been known to take out fifty books at a time, often ordering them in from other cities. I do write in my cookbooks, especially if I have altered a recipe. Although I always like to note whether the recipe was excellant, good or not worth making again. This is for for whoever inherits the books as I never forget a recipe once I have made it. I love scouring the internet for recipes as well and have collected thousands. Now a little canned goods questionnaire LOL, remember many folks in this swap can so even if I am not your partner this could be very important... Do you like jam? I love jam for ccoking or glazing, or using in a recipe, but no one in are family eats it on bread or toast. Do you like jelly? Use Jelly the same as jam. Do you like marmalade? Use marmalade the same as jam or jelly. We have a place near us that makes a large assortment of specialty jams and jellies that change with the seasons. She ships them scross Canada, and I go there quite a bit to pick up some gourmet varietes for cooking with. Do you like pickles? Love pickles Do you like spicy food? I love med spicy food, I don't like it when it is so hot it burns your mouth. What are your favorite fruits? Any you do not like? I like pretty much all fruits. Do you have a strong sweet tooth or you more of a savory person? I have a strong sweet tooth, and usually it is for something chocolatey. I love brownies and chocolate cake. Like cheesecakes, but I don't love them as I find they are usually a little heavy for my taste. Shelley

Okay, the gold is antique glass meaning, it looks like it has creases in it. I didn't buy gold foil but painted it instead using light inca gold with added pigment, then I did red over that and black to seal. Very pretty! The red isn't showing well at all, sorry. It's black rubbed into the texture and sprayed with red glitter, then copper then red. Sealed with black too. I'm most thrilled with this black and decided to use it as the black squares on the checker board. Sprayed lightly with gold glitter, brushed on and wiped off gold paint then painted black and sealed black. It is so contrasting with the black water glass, amazing! I love doing this!!!! and since you can't get a black van gogh, this piece will be one of a kind!!!!
