Here's the Dirt..."A Mail Sorter"

"A Mail Sorter"

If you are anything like me, I let piles and piles

of mail stack up which makes a huge mess.

Here's the Dirt..."Wacky Photo Shoot!"

"Wacky Photo Shoot"

at

The Clay Pot!
These photos show how much fun, and simple, a photo shoot can be!

I took these photos at our recent Spring Open House.

I gathered an assortment of frames, a few props and

grabbed my camera.

Everyone enjoyed hamming it up for the photos.

The guests get a token gift, a copy of their own photo via email.

I will also be sending a copy of all the photos to the local

paper for added exposure.

This is a easy, fun idea for you to try

at your next open house or party.

Your guests will love it!

Here's the Dirt...Fun Time Planting Containers!

Today was so beautiful and the

perfect day for working on some containers

at the cabin.

I wanted to use a neat mixture of colors.

As you probably can tell...

I like the color paprika.

I combined the paprika color with some chartreuse

to add some pop!

With all the new green on the trees,

it makes a nice combination with the natural setting.
