Still Searching

I went out today looking for more fruit and would you think I could find any..... nope! So, I am heading out tomorrow on another hunt for more fruits and veggies. Hopefully I can find something!! Anyway, I found this cheese board today and I am going to finish it and use it as a decoration somewhere. I think I am going to finish it in black so stay tuned for pictures on that. Oh - I also finally got the matte spray that I needed for my pears and sprayed them today. They turned them a little bit darker, but they still look pretty good. I personally liked them better without the spray, but in order to get all of those spices to stay on there then we need that spray to finish things off. Once I have all my pears done then I will be sure to take a picture and post it. I must have alot of you gals out there thinking because alot of you are liking the grubby grungy look of the pears and are trying it out for yourself. I personally love the look and I must admit that I am quite addicted to making more fruits and veggies grubby if I can just find them. Keep sending the pictures to me ladies because I love seeing what you do with yours. Until next time..... keep being crafty!!

I'm like you on the fruit. I sprayed them once and wasn't happy with the results. They lost the good smell and only smelled like sealer. I just live with the spices coming off a little. It's not too bad!! ~~Melissa

What a bummer you couldn't find any fruit or veggies today. I am going to the store tomorrow to get mine, or at least pears. The grubby grungy look is just prim perfect and can not wait until I get mine done. Do you know how long they last? I wasn't sure if they started to ripen and began rotting a little?

Love the new cheese board and will look forward to the finished product. Where did you get it? I so want to go to Goodwill here in Norwalk, but just haven't gotten the chance. Hopefully Monday will be my day! :)

Love and hugs,
Stacey

While I enjoy seeing the grubby stuff in other gals homes, it is just not me so I won't be doing this craft right now at least.

I am working on a boring project - painting doors! No crafting this weekend!!

Hope your Sunday is great!! hugs, Linda
