DIY Herb Pots by Painting Terra Cotta Pots

I have tried to paint terra cotta pots before by using spray paints.  They took many layers and the paint peeled after a few years.  I decided to try it again as I want to plant some Herbs this year to use in my baking and cooking and have a pot that I can bring in the house and maybe keep them growing all winter

Baked Doughnuts with Strawberries and Cream

Almost Wordless Wednesday {link-up} ~ Random

This past week has been a busy week for me and my poor blog has been neglected.  Although along with my long working hours, we did get some of the garden planted and we also got our front doors painted.  So we did get a few things accomplished.  This week is going to be different and I am starting the week off right with my Almost Wordless Wednesday Party.
