I’ve had this chair for years and love how comfortable it is, but it just didn’t match the retro vibe I am going for in my craft room. I debated a long time about what to do with this chair. I wasn’t sure if I could recover it and I even wondered if I should just replace it, but then decided I would just paint it! The spray paint can says it will cover vinyl and plastic, so then I thought “why not leather”. Paint is one of my very good friends and I use spray paint all the time; I just knew that it would be worth a try and my gamble paid off. Leather can be spray painted! Yay!

Lemon Cloud Dessert

Today I’m sharing a unique, but scrumptious dessert that is perfect for any summer event. It’s light, sweet, and crispy and we call them Lemon Clouds.

I’m a big fan of lemon meringue pies. This dessert is like an upside down lemon meringue pie. The meringue is the base and simply melts in your mouth. If you are looking for a special touch to end a good dinner look no further. This would be perfect.

Foamy Fun

This post contain affiliate links.

In our family our summers consist of a lot of outside time which includes swimming and anything to do with water. Summer and water simply go hand in hand. Bubbles are also a hit with the kids and this activity is always a popular one. I get asked all the time if we can do “Foamy Fun” and I love the fact that it’s quick and inexpensive to do.
