Once again drawing inspiration from Pinterest for this little project. I had bought a couple of paper mache-ish top hats before the holidays. I never got around to decorating them for Xmas. Plan B: use them for Valentine's Day! I only have this one finished so far. It's the bigger of the two I bought. I used some vintage sheet music for the top and brim. Wow, what a pain that was! Then I covered...

Thrifty Tray Makeover
I picked up this petite wood tray last week at our local church thrift store. Since it was a bit mild here over the weekend, I was able to give it a couple of coats of white spray paint. I really struggled trying to figure out what I wanted to do with it. I didn't want to Mod Podge an image on the sides since they are so skinny. Instead, I opted for the faux French...
I had an extra box of these tin stars I got from Ikea before Christmas.

Wha??????? Check out my $4 DIY knock-off version. Of course I still have to add candles to mine. Super easy to make, though. I used the carnival font (the one I am so clearly fond of!) from DaFont.com. I typed...
The Xmas decorations are tucked away and a new year has begun. Valentine's Day is just a few weeks away and I can already feel the love! It's been bitterly cold here - the perfect weather for staying indoors and crafting. I whipped up two banners over the weekend that I plan to use for Valentine's Day. This sweet Marie Antoinette image is from Etsy. I've used it in several projects and never tire of...
