I picked up this little table a week ago from a garage sale. I gave it a quick makeover using some Annie Sloan chalk paint and a French graphic I bought from Etsy some time ago. I gave it two coats of ASCP on Sunday when it was semi-warm out. Yesterday morning, I took my reversed image and Mod Podged it to the top. Eight hours later, I used a wet paper towel to remove...

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...

I'm definitely keeping it as is. Thinking of putting...

I'm not quite sure what went wrong with my original bat design, but the head just wasn't coming out right. So I chopped it off and have the first of many Xmas projects. So you see, I am...

French Basket
This is another garage sale makeover I did earlier this week. I picked up this wicker basket last Friday. I really loved all of the compartments in it and I wanted it to match the utensil holder I did over the summer. I gave it a few coats of robin's egg spray paint. I knew I wanted to add something to the front of it. So while, the paint was drying, I printed out this...
