Wash Room Sign...

This is a magnet "All Star" sign that I baught at Target on clearance for $3.00. And you know me...:) I can't leave anything alone. So with a little paint, stamps, time and patience I ended up with this that now hangs above my washing machine.





I need your help with this!!!!

I have this cute little set upthat is from Ikea. It has 5 silver buckets and a holder that hangs them all of them in a row on the wall etc. if desired. Please help me to come up with a cute idea for these. I am stumped and need your creative minds to help me out please! :)
Tell me what to do with them and where I should put them (or where you would put them).

Another great bargain!

I love to make sign like this one, but I couldn't pass this up for only $3.00. I will be putting it in my daughter's room :)

I love a bargain!!!

I went shopping this morning and look what I found.....

This actually was a flat gray color with a little bit of white paint wiped all over it to give it a older aged look. But I took it and painted it black and varnished it :) I love it now! But I havn't even told you the best part about this piece, it only cost mt $4.42 on clearance!

Picture Frames!





I have my dear friend Airan to thank for these frames :)!!!! She gave them to me for christmas ( unfinished) which is how i like things so that I can do my own spiffy stuff to them.
Anyways I got them last night and am pretty much done with them. I might add some words on the black part of the frame, but if I do i will post any changes I make along the way :) Thanks again Airan!
I have a few other posts to do but I can't until after christmas becasue they involve present that my family have not opened yet.
I do have the materials to make these if anyone wants some!

Plaque

I made this for my sister-in-law and she loved it! But I wont mention that I have been so stressed out from this semester's classes and life, that I put the wrong year on hers, so i will have to change it to 1994 instead of 2004. But we laughed about it and I felt stupid! It's ok though I will fix it.

More Thanksgiving Decor


I just took some unused candle holders out of a bix and put pumins on them. I also added glitter to one of them to give it some sparkle. I might paint one even white or brown?!

More candle holder touch ups!

I have been trying to pinch my pennies extra hard lately, so i have been going through my house and adding some much needed flare to accents in my house. Here is a set of candle holders I spray painted:

After:


and sanded it a little (not a very good picture of it thought).....

Now don't get me wrong, I love antiques and older looking furniture but I loved this piece (in my mind) better a different color... he he

I hosted my first baby shower!











I probably went a little overboard but I wanted it to look good for my portfolio, and also because it was for my sister Tiffany. That is what is really important to me, and that it looked great for her! I made everything in the pictures ( all the food etc ) and my back and feet are so tired and I even too 2 naps today and am still tired! It was worth it though because I was happy for her!
