I finally got around to painting an old globe I picked up at a garage sale. I'm embarassed to say I bought it last summer and it got "lost" in the garage. I wanted to do a Pottery Barn knock-off with it for my 7 year old's room. At first I was going to take it apart to paint just the globe part but I admit it, I was lazy. Instead, I painted it from...
DIY Noel Sheet Music Banner
November 13, 2012 / BY Okio B Designs
I whipped up this quick holiday banner the other night. It's super simple. All you need is some sheet music, paper, glue, twine and clothes pins. Using the same NOEL template I used on my Ikea stars (carnival style from Dafont.com), I printed out each letter onto white paper. I cut each letter a bit smaller than my sheet music. Glue them onto each piece of your sheet music. Once they are dry, you might...

Here's some that I did while we were without power and climbing the walls: I took two mason jars and spray painted one red and one green. Once they were dry, I printed these sweet holiday images from the Graphics Fairy and Mod Podged them on. Then I added...

Still no internet/phone/tv which means NO real blogging. I'm dying over here! Lots of projects to post but I have to schlep to the library for internet access. Thankfully, the power came back on yesterday. No cable though. Anywho, the winner of the FragranceNet.com candle as picked by Random.org is Patti from Pandora's Box! Patti, you lucky lady you, I think you won my very first giveaway a couple of years ago! =) Email me...

As expected, we're without power since Monday. I'm at my Mom's soaking up as much internet as possible. The current giveaway will be extended through next week. I hope everyone is safe! I'm still here - thankfully! Jeanine ...
