Painting Flower Pots

The other day I had this "brilliant" idea about painting flower pots. I wanted to have an herb garden outside on my patio that I could go to and pick fresh herbs to cook with. Also, I thought they would smell good and be a fairly easy set of plants to keep alive. Well, as I was contemplating this idea of an herb garden I considered the pots I would use to keep them in, thus we have todays project of painting flowerpots. I love colorful flowerpots and I think they're very pretty, however the price on them can be rather steep. The terra cotta pots I purchased today were .59 whereas a painted pot was about 4.60 at Lowes. So I got a white primer, and some different colors of paint to see what I could create on my own little porch. It seems that there are many lessons to learn in every event, and I have discovered #1 that I am most DEFINITELY not an artist, lol. After spending all afternoon painting these pots, I realize why it is worth it to spend 4.60 on an already painted pot, rather than cursing the paint, pot, or paintbrush...whichever was bothering me at the time.
