I always have a bunch of Dollar store prayer candles lying around. Each year, I try to do a new style for Xmas. This year, I started by wrapping each candle in vintage sheet music. I picked up the glitter stars from Michael's. They are self-sticking so I added one to the front of each candle. I added some rhinestone bling above the stars. If you remember, I picked up a French dictionary over...
Can you believe I'm still working on pieces that I picked up at AmVets a week ago?! This is the wood caddy that I got there that originally came from Michael's. It was pink and had the word spring on both sides. Here it is now: I gave it a couple of coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Louis Blue. I popped over to The Graphics Fairy to pick some French text I could quickly...

Upcycled Tool Carrier
Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is off to a great start! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I was able to get some painting done. This little tool carrier is from Michael's. I bought it a couple of years ago. It originally said blossom. Sadly, it got a little dingy over the years so I gave it a fresh coat of paint yesterday. Since I painted over the blossom, I added two...
These pretty petite frames are from Michael's. I picked them up over the weekend not quite sure what I was going to do with them. I feel like they called for something Frenchy and that's just what I did with them! Excuse the pictures - another horrible dark day here. First, I distressed some French poetry book pages. Then I hand-stamped the crown for one and a fleur de lis for the other. I added...

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...
Remember this bottle carrier I picked up at Goodwill a few weeks ago?! I gave it a spooky twist earlier this week. The creepy labels are actually from the Martha Stewart Living special edition Halloween issue. Just scan them to your printer and print out. I did mine on label paper, so I only had to cut, peel and stick. The striped straws are from Etsy. I just love them! I picked up the pencils...
