You can find me today at one of my favorite blogs!  Lenore and I have been friends for a long time and she is off honeymooning this week! So I am filling her shoes today, sharing tips on how to choose furniture to paint.  Just click on her button to check it out, along with all the other fabulous guests she has had and will have while she is away!

Lather. Write. Repeat.Pin

Also, there are some awesome happenings over at The DIY Club!

First off, a breast cancer benefit auction is coming in October!

Pin
Join us during the month of October for The DIY Club’s 31 Days of Hope! We’ll be hosting a silent auction right here at The DIY Club. What a great way for women to support one another in being strong and healthy!
Dates
  • 21 days of auction items will be introduced and featured, Oct 1-21
  • 9 days of bidding, Oct 22-30
  • 1 day of winners’ features, Oct 31
Pretty ‘n Pink Program
Proceeds benefit  DecoArt’s Pretty ‘n Pink program, which supports education and early detection of breast cancer by donating portions of its Pretty ‘n Pink sales to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Pretty ‘n Pink was created by Etta Brown, a breast cancer survivor and former VP of Sales & Marketing at DecoArt. What is the connection between DIY crafts and breast cancer? Research shows that crafting benefits health by reducing stress, which can be therapeutic for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their family members.
Creative, unique & tailored solutions for various industry needs!Pin

    Awesome…tons of happy info!!! When our neighbor Mary was in the hospital getting a stem cell harvest/transplant (she was in there for 28 days straight), she sent some pretty pictures that she colored for Noah and Hayden home with her husband. She said coloring helped distract her from all of the crap she was going through. I totally believe that crafting heals and helps! Thanks for sharing all of this great info 🙂 See U Sunday!
