I picked up this vintage sled at a garage sale over the summer for $2. It's actually one of two that I scored over the summer. I put the finishing touches on it yesterday and here it is ready for the holiday season. I started by giving it a few coats of red paint. The wood is so old that it soaked up the paint in seconds. I lost count after 4-5 sprays. I let...

Lovely, right? This blogger used an oatmeal canister. And here's my version using the Pringles canister. I wrapped the canister in vintage sheet music to start.

Here's a quick and easy Halloween project I whipped up last night. All you need is some sheet music, a printer and your computer. First choose a creepy font to spell our tricks and treats. I found mine on Dafont.com. Then head on over to The Graphics Fairy for this great, vintage hand image. I had it saved on my computer. Next, you'll want to print out the text first so you can line it...
