I can’t tell you all the steps I used (sorry 
) .
But I did use Kim Klassen’s new texture
Stained Linen @ 100% Soft Light
I found a few things I had never used and know
exactly nothing about.
It sure was fun experimenting with them.

Weeding out the flower beds...the spiderwort is a little crowded.
I’m thinking our holiday may involve a “lot” of work!!!
Visit Tootsie for some lovely photos...
The first texture is Kim’s Yesteryear @ 100% multiply.
The second texture is Portrait @ 100% soft light.
This is one of my “Shabby” chairs photographed
in some flowers at the back of my house.
You can read about my chair 
transformation 
here.
I used Kim’s Yesteryear texture twice--
the first application was multiply @ 100%
and the second application was soft light @ 100%
Thanks Kim for providing these textures!!!
A cloudy day, an old chair and some flowers in my backyard.
These are my pretty pressed wood chairs.
They had gotten pretty dirty.
So in all of my infinite wisdom
I Powerwashed both of them!!!
The dirt came off but so did the paint.
The powerwashing was NOT a good idea!
I don’t think that wonderful chalk paint could save these
So, now I have two---
“New” rustic pressed wood chairs.

There is no doubt about “dogs” ruling here at Thoughtfully Blended Hearts!
There is always something to giggle about...
even if it is a dog “butt”..
Most days we have white squirrels and grey squirrels
stealing bird seed from the feeders.
Zoe can sing us a song as we work around “Thoughtfully Blended Hearts”.
Grandpuppy Sassy is quite capable of watch “duty”...
alerting us to any “squirrel attack”.
Zoe is the pro when it comes to photography duty...
she sniffs out the very best photo locations!
She has also been known to “shmooze” around with our guests.
Anything for a photo opp!!! That’s my girl...always thinking
about getting cute pics for the blog.
Grandpuppy Sassy can “shake a tail” for a photo opp anytime!!!
It is a family blog ya know!!!
No problem around here when we need Christmas Card Cuties.
Our CEO, Mr. Buddy, keeps everyone on time and in place.
Would you dare be late when you know those eyes will be scolding you?
Mr. Buddy, CEO, is also Mr. Photogenic here at TBH.
You can always count on him for a pensive moment.
...or a good roll in the grass...whatever.
Sassy and my girl.
Zoe and my boy, aka (her boy).
Michael and “the kids”.
The staff here at TBH...it is all about the “blog”
and providing our “peeps” with
continual cuteness!!!
