    I love everything about your front porch. I hadn’t ever considered using an outdoor rug out front, but after seeing yours, I have changed my mind.

    Your pillow turned out so cute!

    It is my first time to see something creative like this. I use stencil, but never thought that I could paint pillows without it.
