I used to be quite the organized person. I am a Virgo, afterall. However, once I had kids, my life sort of resembles the picture below: Yes, that is a drawer in my craft room holding my tea-stained seam binding. It ain't pretty. In my quest to get more organized, I did a copycat of Creative Carmelina and my sister, Kathy from Creative Home Expressions. They both made sweet little cards to add their ribbon...
I didn't participate in the Where Bloggers Create party - even though I really, really wanted to. You see, my craft room also doubles as my office for my day job. Still, I wanted to give a small peek inside where I do most of my crafting: When you enter, you walk past two big cabinets. I just got this frame at an estate sale. I was going to paint it until I noticed it...
I get to enjoy summer Fridays from Memorial Day to Labor Day. And even though today was a rainy mess, I ventured out to an estate sale not too far from my parent's house. As luck would have it, it was held by a woman who is a mixed media artist and shabby chic collector. I could hardly contain myself! The two painted wood frames were $1 each. I plan on painting the memory box/letter...
I've been dying to try the Mod Podge transfer method for months now. I finally took the plunge last night using a pail duo that I got at Goodwill yesterday. First I painted over the floral pattern with white spray paint. Once that was dry, I used ASCP in Antoinette for a pretty, pale pink color. I printed off this great French grain image (be sure to mirror the image first) on plain white paper. ...
I popped into our local Goodwill this morning. The last few times I was there, I left empty-handed. Not today. Lookie at my latest finds: I've been searching for these very pyrex dishes at every garage sale I've been to this year. The set of three was $5.99 - a steal! I also picked up the little pumpkin candleholder, peat pots and pretty blue glass dishes. Aren't they a gorgeous shade of blue? Lastly, I...
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I didn't have much crafting time this week due to some wholesale Etsy orders, but I did manage to pop into Michael's and pick up these incredibly cute mini chalkboards: I added some magnet stickers to some of them so I could hang them on the fridge. I love the color! I even used some to hang these great old family photos my parents gave me this week....
