Spray Painted Tin Cans As Planters {Summer Spruce-Up Series}

Since our Summer Spruce-Up Planters party is just a couple days away (Wow! Does time fly or what?) I thought I'd share how I repurposed some plain cans into colorful planters!

You may have already seen these babies here, in my back patio makeover post, but I added some minor changes that I really am loving!

So without further rambling, here are the stars of this post:

Happy Father's Day!

In honor of Father's Day being this Sunday, I thought I'd share a few pictures that just melt my heart!

My love for my husband grows each day (sometimes more or less than others depending on the day)  but it grew leaps and bounds the minute Lily was placed in his arms in the delivery room.

I mean, just look at them...they're so cute together! You can't argue that!

Thanks honey for being such a cool, fun and loving Dad to our little girl!

And a very special happy Father's Day to my Dad, whom I love and look up to so very much! Love ya Dad! Remember, I'm your #1!!!!

And......

 Happy Father's day to all you Daddy's out there!

Enjoy your day!

Even a tin can will do the trick!

Making An Outdoor Table From A Pallet

If you read my $45 Back Patio Makeover post that was a part of the Summer Spruce-Up Series, then you saw the awesome table I made out of a wood pallet. And I say awesome, not only because it looks gorgeous, but because the $12 I payed for paint was the only money I had to fork out to create it!

And today, I'm showing you how it all went down!

So, read on to see how I went.....
