I'm trying to come up with something now for something sort of similar. My MIL wants a poem written on something to sit at her son's grave. We were thinking a piece of slate but we're not sure. Maybe a ceramic tile or possibly the fake stone used to cover houses (my Pap has a few cases left over from his house). Whatever you choose, be sure to seal it really well. That's the only way it will last and if you can help it, take it in out of the harsher weather during the winter months if you get freezing spells and snow where you live. It will save you in the long run! Good luck!

I don't know how, but obviously I missed this post. :) Hi Susan! I love primitives and I LOVE your tables. I wouldn't change them either. Even if they are repros, nobody else knows right? ha Is it really tall enough for a table?, because I swear it looks like what my g-ma used as a milking stool. It's wonderful. I love the way you painted your pin boxes. Very cute and something I'm sure GD will cherish. I will reinterate on the sealing. I just started using the Thompsons Waterseal in the spray can for outdoor things myself. Haven't used it long enough for a true test, but I use a clear acrylic spray sealer on every project I finish. You can buy it in glossy or matte. If you continue to paint please keep sharing your projects with us. We love anything painted. ~Anj

Ericka, It is great to have you with us! Not sure what ideas you are referring to....we post lots of info here, just scroll down until you find something that looks interesting. Most of our posts either have pictures or online site that you can copy with your mouse and paste into the address bar on you online browser. At the top of the opening or home page you will see three different pages you can access, they are conversations, gallery and the exchange. Conversations is where we post about our daily lives as well as painting. Exchange is where we list books we have available for exhange or to be given away, usually the receiver payes the postage. Gallery is where we also post pictures of what we are doing, as well as here. Right now, things are a little slow, but there is usually someone here to answer or direct you with what you need to know or to a website. Again, WELCOME! And we hope you come back often! Belle

OH...MY...GOD That looks like something out of a magazine! When you'd been saying outdoor shower, I kept thinking shower, with doors and a soap dish...you know. This is absolutely amazing! I love the wood work. I hadn't expected that at all. Completely stunning! Congrats. You've definitely got a piece worth big bragging rights.
