Can you paint carpet? Most of us have some carpet in our home that we hate, whether it’s the pea green shag from the 70’s, or the ill thought out forest green of the 90’s (I have this too, we should form a support group). New carpet is expensive. Expensive=bad.  So there has to be a quick fix right? Hildi from “Trading Spaces” has tried to paint carpet so let’s learn from her results. Here is an article where painting carpet was experimented with.  They came to the same conclusion I did, NO. I’d suggest buying a large area rug instead to cover most of the carpet. So basically, when you get paint on your shirt, would you want that on your floor? Would you be comfortable with the fact you would never want to have bare foot on your rug ever again? Only if you are Hildi & it isn’t your house.

Prayer rocks were an idea picked up in church when I was a kid. My mom brought us home & we each picked out a medium sized rock from the yard. Then we sat down at the table together & talked about why prayers were important, & that we all have trouble remembering to say them every night. So we each got to use the coveted acrylic craft paints to paint our rocks with whatever we wanted. My mom showed us how we could make dots by putting paint on the handle of paintbrush. It was wonderful together time. After the rocks dried, we each put them by the side of our beds. Then, when we climbed into bed, we usually stepped on the cold rock that reminded us, say your prayers. Hence the name, prayer rock.  Works for me!
