I don't know if these exactly qualify as bottle brush trees. I haven't been able to find them in my local dollar store or even at my local Target. These two minis are from Michael's and they go with one of their little Xmas villages: I did not do much to the trees but I did paint both little wood spools white. Then I glued each tree on top. For my finishing touch, I stamped...
***Don't forget to enter my giveaway here!*** This basket sits in my livingroom and normally holds all of my favorite magazines: Country Living, Romantic Homes, Martha Stewart Living, etc. I wanted to make it a little more exciting so I turned it into a basket o' book stacks: I picked up some old books this morning from the church thrift store and started tearing them apart once I got home. Once they looked good and...
I promised a giveaway and here it is! I've spent the past couple of weeks picking up craft items for me and YOU! Here's a bird's eye view of what I'm calling Crafter's Delight: The winner will receive a paper mache dress form, paper mache cone (or tree depending upon which way you look at it!), black tulle netting, ribbon galore, pre-strung mini wood plaque (great for using with chalkboard paint!), a fat quarter of shabby...

This week I broke out my German glass glitter and some Martha Stewart glitter for some quick Xmas touches. First up is this old pocketwatch: I've seen this look on Etsy and wanted to take a crack at it so when my husband dug up this...
First I wanted to send a big thank you out to Karen at The Graphics Fairy for featuring my sled on today's Brag Monday. It really made my day! And thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments about it! And now onto today's project. I had a ton of leftover Dollar Store matchboxes from two years ago. Yup, you read that right. I bought them two years ago to do a copycat Country...
I popped into my local Goodwill earlier this week and came back with a lot of goodies: The bucket was only 99 cents. The candle holder was $6.99 - pretty pricey for Goodwill but I couldn't resist considering it came from Target where it was probably originally double the price. I also got 5 little bottles that I plan to embellish. First makeover is the bucket: Can you tell I ran out of white spray...
