Painted Rocks Inspired By Pinterest



It's a rainy day in Maine. Boredom is looming..... let's paint!!!! I was inspired by (and practically copied) some images I found on Pinterest. Image hiding these rocks throughout your flower gardens. A little mod-podge and they are rain-proof.

I collect nice shaped rocks from beaches we visit (and there are a lot) here in Maine. There are tons of fantastic rock artists out there. The pin that inspired me came from an artist named Ernestina Gallina:

Check out my Painted Rocks board on Pinterest for more ideas on what you can do with those pretty rocks you find:

Summer Skin Safety and Marvelous Mess Party!!!!

I just wanted to remind all of you of the dangers of too much sun this summer.....

Don't forget, stay covered up, especially during the hottest hours of the day. Use sunscreen (not chemical!!! Use a titanium dioxide brand) and dress in UV protective clothing. You can burn even on a cloudy day. 
Skin cancer is a disease that mostly effects young people.
Don't use tanning booths.
Don't try to bronze yourself outside.
Check your body once a month and keep track of what your moles look like, if you notice any changes GO TO YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. 

Here are some images from the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund:

How to detect melanoma:
How to check for melanoma:

On the site they also have blank body charts that you can fill out to keep track:

Checking could *save your life*. Take the time and just do it!! Please be safe this summer and especially keep your children from sunburning!!!!!





Now, my favorite post from last week was.....

Faux Finished Piano from Enchanted beginnings


Love it!!!


Now, on to the party!!!!
