So Chica asked "Hey, Mom, what's up for play time today ?"
I said " Well, Cheeks, I heard it from a great source that
it is a perfect time for Polka Dots !"
So off I went in search of things to be polka-fied !
A plain beige pot on my back deck ?
Do gorgeous orange Zinnias deserve a plain beige pot ?
I Think NOT !
A bit of sanding, a slap of yellow paint, and a bright pink
polka dot
or ten and everything is fine and polka-fied again !
Hope your day gets polka-fied too !
Happy Tuesday !
(cheap beige, plastic pot that the plant came in, sanded it up a bit with sandpaper, used acrylic paint on it. will it last for ever ? probably not, but it sure as heck better than beige !)

omg..I think we're all going to go out today and make polka dotted pots....soooo fun !
and thank you for your wonderful comment !!
I LOVE this!!! Polka dots are an instant happy maker in my book. Nice polkafying :)
I've had a long love affair with polka dots! It's fun to add a little paint to old flower pots -- gives the garden some color while you're waiting for the blooms! :D Thanks for the smile!
EVERYBODY needs to be polkafied, if you ask me! Your altered flowerpot is so very me; I can't believe I don't already have one. I've enjoyed reding your last few posts, and you're right about the similarity in color schemes between your Celebrate page and my Risk page. Must be all those flowers blooming or just our kindred spirits communing! Yesterday I drove to Mississippi with my sister to pick up her 2 yr. old grandson Alex, so I've been a bit behind in my blog visiting, but I'm enjoying making the rounds, especially here. Hope you have a great weekend with your niece; I bet she adores having someone as free-spirited and sweet as you for an aunt. See you when you get home,

Oh, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! So, did you sand to make the paint adhere better? What kind of paint? 'Cause my plain brown ones are gonna get a makeover!
ahhh.... well done, Kim!! Love it!
You "Polka-fied" it! LOVE it! Your zinnias look so much happier. I can't tell youhow wonderful and inspiring your journal posts have been and I love seeing your self portraits. You glow and it's contagious:) Love, Jamie
I always say... you can never have enough polka dots! They are fun manifest! :)
Do you remember The Polka Dot Door??? That's what I thought of when I saw this pot...it's stunningly fantastically splendifourous!!!! Makes those zinnias rock!
