As someone who likes to attempt DIY projects on my own, Hometalk has become an important resource for all things related to a “home.” I have even started checking the Hometalk site before I Google. (Don’t tell Google though.) My two main go-to sites for inspiration and how-to tutorials are Hometalk and Pinterest. 9 times out of 10 I don’t have to look any further than these two places. After I published my Rain Boot Vase post I was strolling around Hometalk and saw tons of great porch pot and planter inspiration.
So…to keep all the inspiration posts organized, I set up a clipboard. It’s sort of like Pinterest but not really. Make sense?
Clipboards are a feature Hometalk offers to “clip” your favorite posts to themed boards. It’s all done right there on the Hometalk site. Once you see a post you’d like to clip, all it takes is two clicks and you are ready to move on. Easy peasy.
If you haven’t looked around Hometalk and have a minute, check it out. It’s a really great way for a non-blogger to post pics of a project and share it with others. Totally free and user-friendly!
Like the rest of America, my heart is heavy with sadness for the city of Boston. In today’s world, it’s hard to be sure of anything. One thing I do know is that when something bad happens, it can bring out the best in man kind. Bless the heroes of Boston.

Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 7:59 amI feel so hurt for the people of Boston. I truly do! I can’t seem to focus on anything else. It has been helpful reading about and hearing stories about the brave men and women who helped the victims of the terrorist attack.
The cute little planters helped brighten my day, Ann. Thank-you for posting the mosaic.
xo,
RJ

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 8:43 pmI have seen Hometalk, but I do not have time to spend on it and Pinterest, too, unfortunately. I love the planter ideas that you’ve posted, especially the little wagon and I actually have one! I just haven’t used it yet, I don’t know where to, so it sits in my garage year after year…oh well.
Have a good day, Ann!
HUgs, Cindy

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 8:51 amAnn, I enjoy seeing all the creative ideas from very talented ladies. Your rain boot idea is very cute and makes me think of possibly doing one. Our weather has finally warmed enough to plant flowers in pots for the porch. I think it is still too early to put them outside without cover. Have a fun productive week!
