Creations, Sun, Sand, Salt, Summer
April 1 marks the beginning of the summer season on the Alabama Gulf Coast, the dolphin boats are out in force,
the Snowbirds have migrated back north, the Spring Breakers are in full swing, and everyone is ready for some Summer Fun
I think my neighbors are probably saying, “Good grief, that bucket again?”
Yep! It went from this
To this
To this
to this…
A May day basket!
With a sign celebrating the coming of Summer
Guess where the sign came from?
It’s the back sign of HOP
A coat of light paint
An inspirational sketch done on PicMonkey
I decided to paint it white so the details would pop more
We’re ready for a new season!

Juicy Details
I made the ribbon “flower” poufs by looping ribbon over a wooden skewer [3 loops per pouf] and securing it with wire. The pointed end of the skewer is perfect for poking it through the mesh to secure the pouf
You can find the tutorial for the Easter Basket Pail here
If it’s still cold where you are, head South for a visit!

Jenna, I think all the snowbirds are very sorry that they left the south so early! We are still having snow and more predicted for Saturday. Your deck table is so tempting! I remember when you did the centerpiece and I love it. Perfect for a breezy seaside lunch. Your bucket of fun keeps amazing us too! What will be next? Linda
You rock the bucket Jenna!! 😝
Loving all these beautiful photos ♥

Your photo of the water and boats is gorgeous! I love how you repurpose so many items… very creative! And that centerpiece with the little pink chair sticking out of it, is just the cutest ever! 🙂 ~Rhonda
Your artist skills are killer my friend.
Hard Worker!
Nice to be able to use the other side of the sign:@)
Genius to repurpose your Easter sign Jenna and easier to store that way too! I thought flip flop weather had arrived early for us this year but alas Mother Nature has a few tricks up her sleeves! Enjoy your sun, sand and salt…preferably on the rim of a margarita glass 🙂
Snow birds, ha ha! It’s been so long since I heard that term. It was probably when I lived in Fort myers, florida. Too funny! Of course if I came down south now, that term applies to me now…but that’s ok. I’d take it for the chance to sit at your lovely table and watch the boats go by!
This is pretty Jenna and I didn’t know you could do so much on PicMonkey!
thanks Sandra, I use PicMonkey for all kinds of stuff, it’s worth some time to just play around and learn all the things they offer, they have great tutorials too >
I love your gorgeous summer sign you painted Jenna.
