A New Find!

I imagine there are a few of you,

 like myself,

 where your local Wal-Mart

 is your only source for craft supplies,

specifically craft paint.

  I've used their little bottles of craft paint

for years,

 and have problems

 with my paint drying out,

and

 locating just the right color.

    I don't feel like the craft paint companies

 have done their best

to kept up on color trends...JMHO.

 

   So,

 I wandered down the house paint isle,

 while perusing my local Wal-Mart,

 and

 found these...

Cute little paint tester jars in gobs of colors. 

 Even varying shades of within a color! 

My paint dilemma

 has been resolved!

And,

 you know what is my favorite part of these little 2 oz. jars?

Looky!  

A paint brush is even included! 

 No paint brushes to wash,

 how nifty is that?!!

Now,

 I know you aren't going to be able to paint much detail

 with this size of brush,

 but

 for large surface background painting,

the brush is ideal.

 

As you can see,

 I am readying my heart-shaped boxes

 for the upcoming

 "Valentine Sampler"

cross stitch chart. 

 After buying an ivory, red and brown paint,

 I've decided upon the Ground Nutmeg Brown (#WGN32) paint,

making the boxes look like a milk chocolate heart. 

If you would like to step outside of the box,

and paint your boxes a different color,

paint colors Cranberry Zing (#WGR32) or Whispering Wheat (#WGN30) also match the floss selections very nicely.

 

 

Wishing you all a fun-filled winter weekend,
