Being Still a Minute...

This poor little blog has been seriously neglected for the past week and a half but what with the four day beach trip last week and my newly discovered love for painting old furniture and trying to keep from having a heat stroke in this 100 degree heat we've been having, I just haven't taken the time to sit down here and be still a minute...

Saturday I painted and distressed a wooden bench in my kitchen that I scored at a thrift store last year and I could not be happier with how it turned out. So now I've moved on to painting my old childhood dresser that came home with me from my mom's house several months ago and has been taking up residence in my master bathroom.

I promise to show y'all some pics later in the week but today I thought I'd just stop in here a minute and share some awesome quotes I've pinned onto my wonderful words board over at Pinterest...

Y'all have great day!

I especially love the one about waking up with only the things you thanked God for the night prior. Wow!

Thanks for the quotes; some I've heard, and some were new ones. The one about waking up with only the blessings you thanked God for yesterday is an eye-opener for sure!

I may be e-mailing you for some tips on distressing furniture in the near future...

These are wonderful! Learning to ignore things was a tough lesson for me to learn.
