Welcome to my front porch!

Hi! I'm Donna! I grew up sitting on the front porch drinking iced tea and spending time with friends and family. Welcome to my front porch. Pull up a comfy chair, grab a glass of tea, sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

Long time no post

It has been forever since I even looked at this blog much less posted on it. However with the rugrats getting older and my own college graduation creeping ever closer (come on May) I have to admit I am enjoying having some extra time on my hands. Lately I have found some really productive and beautiful uses for that extra wee bit of time.

Use number one…

Catching up on the blogs I loved so much prior to life taking over, well my life. LOL! I haven’t had the time for blogging in recent years so I am really tickled to catch up with all I have missed in blogland. Two of my favorites are The Nesting Place and A Soft Place to Land.

Use number two…

Discovering new blogs which the country boy husband of mine has come to realize he has a weird love/hate reaction to. They include Ana White, Shanty-2-Chic and More Like Home.These last three are the ones which have rekindled my love for blogging and sparked a new hobby which is why I have decided to come back to The Southern Sass.

I have purchased the tools. My favorites are... 



and my Kreg Jig® R3.


I have also purchased nails, screws, wood conditioner and stain. Dark Walnut by Minwax is what I have used so far, but the other day I picked up the same color only in Rustoleum, so we will see.

For paint I always gravitate towards Olympic One at Lowe’s. However, we now have a Sherwin Williams store in town and I will definitely be giving them a looksee.

So with all these new play pretties, I will begin sharing all my fun new projects. The first three will be just a brief description and a couple of pictures because I just didn’t think to share my stories and experiences until that darling country boy of mine suggested I do so. I promise to fix the error of my ways.

Hope to see you on my front porch.
