June.....back to painting and scrapping!

So happy to be back painting and scrappin'.

 The wedding was just beautiful and everything went smoothly. It could not have been more perfect!

This past week we scrapped on Wednesday and painted on Friday.

After checking out Goodwill at 8:30 we headed to Jackson to the Old House Depot. It is an architectural salvage shop with tons of really neat goodies. 

They had some nice rhubarb growing outside!

Then, since we were driving by, we had to stop at Paint and pick up some chalk paint. We were out of wax and Paris Grey. Love this shop!

Helen loved this cute litle teapot since she's in to tea.

Pam as a Price is Right model!

As you can see I was ready to paint, no make-up, nada. 

Finally we got home. 

 Here is the stuff we planned to paint.

But first, we had to have some lunch. Pam and Helen treated Bob and I to Mexican from the new restaurant that moved into where the Haughty Pig used to be. It was so delicious. Fresh cooked tacos with a slice of avocado on top. Yum! I highly recommend it!

Then it was time to paint. It seemed to be a blue day. 

 Helen's tray looks so cute now with Emile ASCP. 

Pam painted this cute humidor in Florence ASCP. 

I cut the stencil with my Cameo. It is so cute!

 Helen's jewelry box got Provence (my favorite)

And our Scrap projects:

 Another invitation that Helen will put in a shadow box frame for a gift.

Pam did a great job on William's birth announcement.

Another gift. Really cute.

Looking forward to more scrapping this week. With all this rain not sure we can paint. Thanks for visiting. 

Our trip to Paint to get paint.......awesome!

Exciting, this was so exciting!! We were just like kids in a candy store! This was just so much fun! The store for Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Jackson, MS is just delightful. It is located in the historic district, known as Fondren. This is an area they are bringing back with all sorts of fun restaurants and businesses.

We had a scrumptious lunch at Sal and Mookies....delicious pizza and salad. I was just about to burst to get to the paint store. We had left home at 12:30 and we finally arrived at 3:00!!

Just two doors down is the famous Brent's Drug store that was featured in the movie "The Help." It has been there since the 50's and is still just the same.  Anyway, the Paint store said they were in the movie, too!

 Once you were inside it was just amazing. The colors and color combinations were just so fun! This was Greek Blue and Antibbes Green. So cute!

 This table was a combination of several colors. As you see I brought my color chart and we wrote down the colors. Only problem I can't find that paper now..... I think we can figure it out, tho.

 Sweet vignettes throughout the store!

 This was a giant color chart painted on the wall. I cannot believe how many colors we got. We all will be sharing! We each bought two cans, so we have lots and lots of beautiful colors to choose from!

 I am sorry I did not get pictures of the shoppers, but they were running around saying " oh my gosh", "this is awesome," "love this," and "Joanne, can we do this?" They were talking to every other shopper asking them what they were painting, who they were painting it for and do they just LOVE this paint?!!! Anyway, the four of us had a great time!

I hope you enjoyed this as much as we did! In the next post I will share the colors we got and a sneak peak of some of the things as we begin working on them.
