This is the song we sang at the end of the service today that had me in tears:

And I just showed up for my own life
And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
~ Just Showed Up For My Own Life, Sara Groves
My name is Kristy.
I am a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, dog owner, home owner, decorator, crafter, cook, hostess, organizer, and traveler. I have been a dog foster parent, jewelry maker, nursery director, singer, small group leader, and child advocate. I've lived in three different states (one of them twice) and two different countries in my adult life.
But mostly, I'm just a child of God, trying to live day by day in this life adventure.
But now, this is what the LORD says —
he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name;
you are mine."
- Isaiah 43:1
Your first dawn blinded you, left you cursing the day.
Entrance is crucial and it's not without pain.
There's no path to follow, once you're here.
You'll climb up the slide and then you'll slide down the stairs.
It's foreign on this side, but it feels like I'm home again.
There's no place to hide but I don't think I'm scared.
- Nickel Creek, This Side
why this song?
Kristy,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your paint just isn't adhering to the lids. Metal can be a tricky surface for painting. First make sure the lids are cleaned really well. Any oil from food or even your hands can make it so the paint won't stick. Then try sanding them first with a medium grit paper, just enough to roughen up the surface. The rougher surface give the paint something the stick to. You can do it by hand, no need for a power tool. A coat of primer also helps with the bonding of the paint. Next, give it two coats of paint, then wait 24 hours for it to cure before use. You've probably had better luck with other metal projects because the original finish wasn't as slick as the baby food jar lids, or you didn't handle them as much.
Hopefully, with the few added steps, you'll have better luck!
Thanks for visiting me at my blog. Have a wonderful day.
