Some {Fix-Its} & an Award!

 Has your moss turned from a lovely green, to an unattractive shade of brown?

I've noticed that when sheet moss is exposed to heat, or even over time, it will turn on you!

My French Flower baskets (you can find that post here),...after only 2 weeks, the sheet moss that I had attached to the baskets, turned BROWN!  Ick...you couldn't even see the moss because it was the same color as the baskets.  

So, do I have a solution for you!!  A decorator friend told me about this amazing product.  It's actually a spray paint intended for florals.
 I found it several years ago at Michael's or Hobby Lobby.

I used a paper plate as a shield, so the spray wouldn't get on the basket, and spritzed away. Now that moss is PERMANENTLY GREEN!
The first picture shows the "after" color of the moss on the basket!

The other "fix-it" I have to share today, is for those ModPodge Sheetmusic Placemats I made for my Easter table. You can find that post here.

I was errked discovered that the ModPodge finish can be a tiny bit tacky,
and can "stick" to things or each other, which was the case with the
 placemats I wasn't using, and had stacked in a drawer.

Solution...???   Clear sealer!!  Now this one is made by ModPodge, but you can use any clear spray sealer that you may have in your garage.  Spray a coat on each side, and your problem is solved!

Now, on to the award!
When I started this blog, it was mainly for me to document my ideas and projects as well as motivation for me to get some things finished that have been on my "list" of to-do's.

My surprise has been the friendships that have begun, the creativity and humor of so many talented women, and the inspirational posts I get the privilege of reading by some extremely mature, wise and Godly women!

The encouragement I get from my followers and the sweet comments that are left,
 are truly my award!

I was honored and so very humbled to be chosen by these gals...
