I popped into our local Dollar store earlier this week. They had these adorable reindeer ornaments. I scooped up two and gave them a quick Xmas makeover. You've probably seen similar reindeer on Pinterest. I know, I myself, pinned a few different glitter versions. For mine, I snipped off the cord that you would hang them with. Then, I printed off the words wish and believe using my favorite carnival font from DaFont.com onto plain...
I had an extra box of these tin stars I got from Ikea before Christmas. I wanted to add a Valentine's Day touch to them so I headed over to The Graphics Fairy for these wonderful French pierrot clown images.

First, I scanned the tag images so I wouldn't have...

Seeing Stars
My five year old picked out these paper mache stars at Michael's last week. I was really hoping to decoupage them using the tissue paper method, but - sigh! - it was not meant to be. The tissue paper got stuck in my printer not once, not twice but three times. And you know what they say about three times. Plan B: I used some old French book paper and pages from the Romeo and...
