if you’re ready to get vacuum-happy too during this Spring cleaning season.

I don’t normally have ballpoint pen all over the place, so this is one that I’d been wanting to try out for awhile, but hadn’t had the chance to.It looks like I’ll probably be using this one quite a bit over the next little while though!

Here’s what I used to clean it up in a flash!.It was so fun to see the ink just basically melt away as soon as I sprayed it on.I sprayed all over the ink and then just wiped it away with a paper towel!

For the record, I did try plain soap and water first, just for the sake of the experiment and it did absolutely nothing.The ink didn’t budge.

So the hairspray really is the key!.

Here’s how it looked after!.The shutters from on top moved down underneath and I brought in a potted mum (wrapped in more burlap!)

and a pumpkin that I meant to go on the front step.It’s so simple, but really almost perfect to me..

I brought in a few of sorta changing leaves from outside in this little zig-zag-twine-clothespins doodad in.keeping with the theme of clothespins.
