Pennsylvania Dutch Spring Tulip

So, I have this little passion for Antiques Roadshow. Ever watch it?? It's on PBS. I just love all the different pieces of furniture and how they teach you so much about each one. The other night I was watching it online and a man brought it a Pennsylvania Dutch hope chest with the most gorgeous stencils on the sides:

And, I knew I was going to use those stencils for something. 
It turned out to be something really simple. 
I used a robins egg blue background with a light rose chiffon color for the stencil. I didn't actually stencil it....I just free-handed it. 
It's going to be a part of my Spring Decor. 

It definitely brightens up a room!!

I used the same pieces of plywood for this projet that I used for my Apple Blossom and Rooster and Hen painting wood crafts.

I am sharing this party at these funky linky parties:

Recipes on TV

Contribution by Saul Martin
I don’t know what we used to do before we got our cable television from Direct TV Round Rock. I know I spent a lot of boring nights while my husband travels for his job. I convinced him I needed something to do so he signed us up. One of my favorite channels to watch is The Food Network. You can get so many great ideas of things to cook if you just tune in. They have people with regular show on that network that cook all types of food. They have people that like to show you how to cook Italian, Mexican, and even Southern cuisine. It always makes me so hungry to watch them making all that really good food. If I like a recipe that someone is making, I try to write down as much as I can about the ingredients and the directions for putting them all together. But sometimes I get distracted and miss parts. I don’t worry too much about that though because I can always go on the internet to The Food Network online and usually look up the show. Then it will list all the different recipes that they have had on all the different shows for the week. I think that is so neat that you can do that. We didn’t have anything like that when I was growing up.
