Upcycled shutter


So, I'm living in a neighborhood where everyone's porch always looks super cute!  I needed to keep up!  I found this shutter at a junk store (and I use the word "junk" affectionately. I LOVE those places!)
It was only $12!  Took it home, cleaned it up with some steel wool and painted the center panels with chalkboard paint. Done!  I used a chalk pen for the lettering, which I need to work on. The chalk pen says it's erasable, but, no, it is not. So, i repainted the top panel and used regular chalk on that. 

I'm not super crafty, so I'm really happy with this!!

Pink Greyhound


Just because it's Labor Day doesn't mean summer is over.  Especially here in Texas!  And I just discovered Deep Eddy Ruby Red Grapefruit vodka!  It's delicious!!  I made this drink up a couple days ago. It's my new favorite! 

2oz Deep Eddy Ruby Red
1/2oz St. Germaine 
1/2oz simple syrup
Splash of lime

Pour all of that into a shaker of ice and shake away. Strain into your favorite glass and enjoy 🍸😁
