Hi Hannah! I so agree! Thanks for stopping by :) Have a great week!
DeleteHi Shandy, WAY cute!! What a great fun thing to do with the ladies for a craft idea. I am so looking forward to making some. Your right about adding your personal touch on all we do. I am so ready for warmer weather, but I know it will soon turn HOT.
ReplyDeleteI am like little bear, I want it just right :)
I love the name of your Blog, We should add each other unto our Blog List, do ya wanna?
Blessings, Roxy
Hi Roxy! Thanks so much :) I'm like you... just right is perfect. My just right would be 72 degrees with just a slight breeze. Ahhhhh... heaven.
DeleteI don't have a blog list, but I'd be more than happy to swap buttons with you and feature yours on my sidebar :) If you go to the Swap tab at the top of my blog, there's an easy way to do it. If you have questions, just email me at aprons.n.pearls (at sign) icloud (dot) com
Have a great night!

ReplyDeleteHi Leigh Anne! Thanks for the pin :) I will definitely link up this weekend! Have a great night!
DeleteThese are darling :) I am the same way… Make it pretty and work is pleasant!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Pretty absolutely helps ;) Now if it will only warm up enough so I can use them! Have a great night :)
DeleteI like yup they sure are cute, so let's go hang out some laundry.........andi
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hang the laundry outside! :) Unfortunately, the snow falling from the sky has other plans :( LOL Thanks for dropping by Andi! Have a great night!
DeleteSuper cute! I love the colors and the distressing, too. I am waiting for Spring... as it's snowing outside right now :(
ReplyDeleteI found you today at Not Just A Housewife's Linky. I hope you get a chance to stop by my blog and leave a comment, too!

Thanks, Megin! It's snowing here, too. Yuck :( I just dropped by your blog to show you some love. Have a great night!
DeleteWhat a neat idea, and it look so pretty. Come on spring!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And, yes...C'mon Spring! Maybe if we all say it enough, mother nature will listen! ;) Have a great night!
DeleteThese are so,so cute! I know exactly what you mean about having to add your own touch to just about everything! I can't leave anything plain! Thanks so much for the great idea. It's been pinnned. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHi Brooke! Thanks :) Yes, plain is boring. Now I'm looking around to see what else can get a little special treatment ;) Thanks for the pin! Have a great night!
DeleteThese are so fun and cute! I am so impressed you WANT to do laundry....maybe I should make some and I will catch the bug?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mindi :) I know... I must be crazy. I really do WANT to do laundry! LOL Well, only if I can hang it outside, though. Otherwise, laundry is not on the top of my favorite chores list ;) These are so cute, they will definitely keep me motivated. Make them... what do you have to lose, right? hahaha
DeleteHave a great night!
Super cute! Loving the clothespins!
ReplyDeleteKimberli @ greatastestuesdays.blogspot.com
Thanks, Kimberli! Have a wonderful night!
DeleteI inherited clothespins from my grandmother, and I love using them for different uses around the house. I can't wait to paint a few! Thanks for the idea. Visiting from The Winthrop Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteAnything inherited from grandmas is wonderful. I am lucky to have my grandma's wicker laundry basket. Between that and my new clothespins, laundry is almost a special event ;) Thanks for dropping by!
Deletewhat a great idea to use the make up sponge - brilliant girlie - I love how rustic these look. happy almost spring to you!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.northerncottage.net
Thanks :) I tried finding my paintbrushes, but they're packed away. I walked by my makeup sponges, and a stroke of genius struck. Doesn't happen too often, so I figured I better follow through! LOL So happy I did... they worked perfectly and made painting way easier than a paintbrush! Happy almost spring to you as well. Can't wait for warmer temps!
DeleteHow cute! What a creative and fun idea. I love how they turned out!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Eco Kids Tuesday :)

DeleteAbsolutely love these! I have some in my drawer as chip clips. We use them all the time. I'm going to give mine a makeover! What a great idea for a gift!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica! Thanks :) Someone else mentioned using them as chip clips as well. Smart ladies. I might try doing that as well. Our PC clips are always disappearing! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
DeleteI really love the chevron pins! They are really cute and I am always looking for projects I can do with my daughter!! I recently started a Thursday link-up party (yes, today:), and I would really love to see this post and/or any others you would like to include. I am at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you there and for many more Thursday's to come!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia! And thanks for the invite :) I'll pop on over there now! Have a great night!
DeleteThese are so cute! I just had my husband nail a clothes pin (unpainted mind you) to the inside of our under the sink cabinet to hold my dish washing rubber gloves. Well, now you know that I have to paint it up all cute!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Well of course you have to! ;) Also, nailing a clothespin to the cabinet for your gloves... genius! Thanks so much for dropping by. Have a fantastic weekend!
DeleteThese are great! I love how they make a mundane task more fun! I can't wait for spring either! I'm going to start my first garden and I'm a bit nervous but I still am looking forward to it. I'm having a link party on my blog and I'd love for you to join!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.simplydreamandcreate.com/
Thanks Stephanie! I'm starting my first garden, too! Have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm gonna do it! LOL Thanks for the invite to your party... I'll be right over to check it out :)
DeleteLove 'em! They would help inspire some laundry moxie for me too! I can hardly wait for spring...and all that entails. I would love to have you share your project(s) at the Shady Porch party.
ReplyDeleteRock 'N Share
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, and for the invite to your party. I'll check it out now :) {P.S. I love the word moxie. LOL}
DeleteHi Shandy, I’m Anne from Life on the Funny Farm (http://annesfunnyfarm.blogspot.com), and I’m visiting from the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Never would have thought of this, but now I might give it a try. Oh wait, I probably have to have a clothesline, don't I???
Anyway, thanks for posting this. If you ever get a chance, stop over to my blog to say hi! Have a great day…
Hi Anne! Thanks for stopping by! Clothesline not necessary... some of the ladies here have shared that they use clothespins as chip clips! Another has a clothespin nailed to the cabinet under her sink to hang her dish gloves. Smart ideas :) On my way to your blog...
DeleteI just popped by via the Pinterest party. I'm pinning your project right now!
ReplyDeleteHope you can pop by my blog soon. I'm sharing a fig and hazelnut cake recipe.
Best wishes,
Natasha in Oz

Deleteluv these!
ReplyDeleteHi Monica! Thanks :) And thanks for dropping by! Have a great weekend!
DeleteThey're so cute! I think I'd use them for wall decorations or holding a recipe or something. Great idea to paint them and I love the look!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! They would be cute as a magnet on the fridge to hold things :) Have a great day!
DeleteAwww the poor things, all dressed up and no place to go since the weather isn't cooperating. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSaw you sharing at the Power of Pinterest Party.
Debbie :)
HAHAHA!!! This weather is horrid. Almost April and we have snow on the ground. Yuck. Thanks for stopping by {and for making me laugh!} Have a great day!
DeleteVery cute! I agree, everything needs that pretty touch. I have some old clothespins I want to paint and distress-you could do even more than just hang laundry with these beauties, hang photos, design a tea wreath, etc. nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristina! The possibilities are many! :) Have an awesome week!
DeleteToo cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura Jane! :) Have a great day!
DeleteThese would certainly make laundry a bit more cool!
