I used a whole pint of pumpkin milk paint and finally finally finished most of my fall projects--I put the paint powder in a bowl two weeks ago, thinking I was ready to mix it up. Every time I sat down to paint, something would stop me "Mom, I need a ride to class! Mom, can you help me with editing this paper? Elaine, can you take the dog out?" lots of stuff like that and before I knew it, 2 weeks passed by. I was also fretting about finding a good photo back drop, when the Labor Day flea market supplied me with two great finds--first, an early early huge flour bin for only $20. The reason for the low price is the bottom is hanging by a thread, but it makes a great backdrop. The second is a wood laundry basket from the Amana colonies, set on end, it looks like a great old cupboard.
