O what a little spray paint can do!
We've had this lovely mauve lamp beside our bed for years. I decided to try and update it... so glad I did!!!
Love how she looks now.
A bit more updated, simple, and a lot less mauve!
Happy Wednesday :)

Pinterest Marketing Tips
Don't you LOVE Pinterest! I do! It's so addicting and one of the biggest social media sites out there. Here are 9 tips that will help you in marketing your website on Pinterest. 1. Plan for Success - Be sure to properly set up your account and create Boards that will apply to your niche market.
2. Be Social - Pinterest is a visual social media website. Meaning you need to interact with others. Follow others, comment on their pins, thank others for re-pinning your pins and create relationships. This will enable you to gain a strong following.
3. Invite others to Follow You - We've all seen those Follow me on Pinterest buttons. Be sure to add your own on your blog and other social sites. This is a great way to gain exposure!
4. Pin It - Along the same lines as having others follow you on Pinterest, you need to have a Pin It Button on your blog so others can Pin your images. Be sure your creating quality material to be pinned.
5.Create larger images - Grab attention by having longer images. This will take up more space and gives you more screen time.
6. Remember your SEO - Search Engine Optimization is so key to being found. Use #hashtags, keywords and url's in your pins.
7. Promote Creatively - Add a call to action in your pins... Something like "Pin if you agree" with a favorite quote.
8. Pin Different Image Types - photos, images, text and even videos!
9. Be Copyright Savy - Don't pin images that have copyrights - you can get yourself into trouble. On your own images be sure to add your website address and link back to your page.
Happy Pinning :)

My DIY flower boxes
Our garage has slowly been getting a face lift. I can't wait to show it off once it's completed! Here is my DIY flower box project though....
Not too bad right!
So I started out by making 4 square boxes out of 2x4's.
We had a stack of old picket fence planks. I picked the past of them, cut to size, scraped off the old paint, screwed them into my frames and re-painted.
I've been seeing these super cute lanterns on Pinterest as well. So I made a few for myself.
I also made this fun sign that is hanging outside the walk in door along with scrubbing, repainting and putting a new light bulb in the outside fixture. Several more things yet to do but it's feeling so much more finished day by day.
Have a great week!

The Girls and their Calves
Each of the girls have had calves this year. After months and months of bottle feeding, then feeding grain and halter breaking have all lead up to our 2012 fair!
Mandy is so excited to show her calf and works with him often... on the other hand my Lilian has decided that it's more fun to brush her calf instead of pulling him around.
