Is it just me or does everyone else seem to lose their mojo on a cold, dreary day? It was 70 degrees here on Wednesday and it's gone down hill since then. Needless to say, these past two days have not provided any real inspiration for me. And since it's so dark and dreary here, so are my pictures. =( I gave this Dollar Store frame a Frenchy touch last night. I glued some leftover...
Time has not been on my side this week. About the only crafty thing I was able to accomplish was two more embellished Starbucks bottles: I bought these graphics from Etsy and love, love, love them! How can you go wrong for $1 each? I've already used them for bags, tags and I'll be using them for pillows shortly. I printed them out on Avery Label Paper. Super easy and the paper is pretty reasonably...

Framed Kitchen Utensils
I seem to have a large stash of white frames in the house. I didn't realize just how many I had until I decided to make these framed fork, knife and spoon prints for the kitchen: You've probably seen these images on The Graphics Fairy. I had filed them away on my computer, planning to do some napkins or placements with them but when I flipped through the premier issue of Vintage Style magazine, I saw a...
Driving home from pre-K today, I spotted this little table in the trash. I pulled over to inspect it and it was in pretty good condition. As soon as my 4 year old saw it, he asked if it could be his. Who am I to argue with that face? I told him we have to paint it. He wants to add Spongebob to it, so that should make for an interesting makeover. Aside from...
Brrrr...it's chilly here today but putting out some Easter decorations puts a little Spring in my step. I feel like a kid at Christmas time when I unpackage all of my goodies from previous years: These are actually little bunny candleholders from the Pottery Barn outlet. The tapers didn't make it. Sadly, they all bent. Still, I like them even without the candles. My favorite Easter banner! Bought it off Etsy last year. More Pottery...
I popped into Michael's earlier this week for some odds and ends. I had been admiring the wax seals in the bridal section for some time. I finally caved and bought some wax and a fleur de lis stamper. They were only $4.99 each. Last night I used them for this quick French votive: I used some vintage French book paper to wrap around the votive. I distressed the paper edges a bit to give it an...
