Ahhhh, it's good to be back! I haven't blogged in ....over a week! No, I wasn't on vacation ... I wish! Do you ever have a dream where you are running, but not getting anywhere? My last week and a half has been like that! First, Friday was Graduation day from High School for my oldest daughter. Doesn't Mr. Fanatic look happy? Heck yeah!!! My oldest is very strong willed .... and I am going to leave it at that! :)
Along with preparing for Graduation day, I have been running around getting estimates for granite, a tile backsplash, window cleaning, etc after meeting with Realtor # 2.
I had not done a single project in a couple of weeks until today! Thursday I stopped in at Marshall's looking for a dress for Graduation...yes I know it was last minute, but I found a cute one, so it all worked out. Anyway, I also found this wrought iron planter ... which was the same one that I had wanted for Mother's Day 09, but by the time Mr. Fanatic arrived at the store, it was gone. So, I was extremely happy when I found it!!! It will add more color on our deck that was spruced up a couple of months ago. You can read about it here.
I already had 2 pots to put in it, but 3 could fit in the top part of the planter, so I went to Lowe's & bought one more pot and some plants. Then I taped them up, spray painted the rims, then painted the bottoms with a metallic craft paint.
This is what it looks like all finished.
A very lovely addition to my decked out deck!
Thank you all for stopping by. I promise I will stop by and see you, too!
