I've had these tall wooden spools for a few years now. I purchased them from Home Goods and they originally had a country motif. I was in the mood for a change so I stripped them down and gave them a quickie French makeover: I printed my images onto Avery label paper. After cutting them to size, I simply stuck each image on and added rhinestones to each crown. For one of them, I added...
My late mother-in-law gave me this basket a few years ago. It got a little beat up over time so I decided to give it a bit of a shabby chic makeover: It was originally brown but I gave it a few coats of pink spray paint to soften it up. Once the paint was dry I hot glued some vintage lace trim around it. I am still debating on whether or not to do...
Hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend! We were so busy with company and barbeques that I was only able to get one project done. I actually remembered to take a before photo for once: I don't even remember how we acquired this. I'm certain I didn't buy it at a garage sale and my husband doesn't think someone in his family gave to us. Either way, it needed a makeover stat! After a few coats...

Even though these aren't quite Memorial Day images, I think they still represent our patriotism. I printed them out from the Graphics Fairy. I mod podged each image on and then gave each a quick spray of clear paint. Once the paint was dry, I added some German glass glitter and some random...
If you're like me, you stock up on tea towels when you go to the dollar store. I had a few lying around in my craft room and as luck would have it, I had some iron-on transfer paper too. Put two and two together and you get some cute new towels: I bought this image off of Etsy (popalicious, 99 cents!) over the weekend. I spied it on Pinterest (thanks Gina from Shabby Creek Designs!) and thought...
I have a serious bone to pick with Mother Nature today. After a gorgeous weekend, we're back to, yup you guessed it, RAIN. :{ For me that means, painfully dark photos and no painting whatsoever. Boo! Thankfully, I did manage to get this quick project done before the skies opened: I bought this clam tote at the thrift store last week. I gave it a few coats of white paint. And I do mean a few...I ran...
