It seems like I don’t make it through a single day without a “Messy Moment,” as my friends at Clorox call it. It might be a teenager failing to close the lid on the blender all the way when making a smoothie. Or it might be a grade-schooler with a less-than-tidy paint project.
And as much as I’d like to blame it on the kids, most of my messy moments come from ME.
I know. It’s hard to imagine.
But it’s not so much me being messy as it is the natural results of being creative.
Or at least I like to think so.
A little too much paint? I don’t think I own any clothing without at least a little paint splattered on it LOL!!
A little too much glitter? Mod Podge? Gorilla Glue? Welcome to my life!!
No project is without its Messy Moments, and, really, no day is without its Messy Moment.
I’ve mentioned the “Bleachable Moments” contest before, and Clorox has received over 19,000 entries for the contest.

PS — Coming up in a bit — some questions and answers on my Family Gallery wall 🙂

Jen I enjoy reading your blog and getting great ideas.
Can you tell me how to glitter on painted wood.
I want to do an initial and my glitter will not stay on.
Thanks so much .
Are you glittering the whole piece of wood? I would use Mod Podge, brush a light layer on and then sprinkle the glitter. After it dries, I would spray some sealer over the top to keep the glitter from rubbing off. Mod Podge also makes glitter mod podge which is pretty cool and the glitter is already in the mix.
