Annie Sloan Chalk Painting

                                   Sweet Redos
                                          

 First of all, I have to tell you friends, that I am in love with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...If you have never experienced the total joy that this paint can bring, go directly to a seller and purchase you a quart with a can of wax. It is the most amazing paint ever! It literally will paint any surface with no prep work!! Yes, no sanding....absolutely nothing! Just start painting that ugly piece of furniture and be amazed at what a difference you can create. So far, I have repainted all my kitchen cupboards from an ugly oak to Old White...an entry way that was Pine wood and now is a beautiful charcoal grey, my dining room that was also Pine wood, a coffee table, a big hutch, the top of my main dining room table, old chairs, dressers, the list goes on.....I am addicted to Annie Sloan paint, and its an easy thing to quickly get addicted to! Its simple, everyone is capable of transforming a piece of furniture with this paint...NO you do not have to be a talented, crafty person to do this. Trust me....if I can, you can!
  Here are some pictures that I love that people have done with Annie Sloan...

My Favorite Season

The feeling of Fall in the air, the crispness to the apples, the smell of cinnamon, the light breezes blowing, refreshing....ahhh....I love it!
        The cider....the doughnuts dipped in cinnamon sugar, 
                                                               the changing of the leaves.....
                                                                        the quaint little town of Charlevoix,MI's apple fest....

sitting on a front porch, a cup of coffee, a taste of ooey,gooey, pumpkin bars....a best friend by your side...
      Life....is so beautiful! The kids playing in the freshly raked leaves.....
                           
                                           Orange, Red, Gold.....jack o lanterns.....candy corn....yes, this is the best time                                                                                                of the Year!
