Kiddies are off from school this week. They just got back from a sleepover at Grandma's. I'll probably be MIA for the remainder of the week. =)

I know I'm not the only one in awe of Rosemary at Villa Barnes. She recently did a post on upcycling a can with a crinkle paint effect. I loved the look so thought I would take a stab at it.
I didn't get the crinkle look I was hoping for like Rosemary did. Wondering if I added too much water to my glue?! Still I love the overall look of my can.
I painted the can white (over the glue/water mixture). Then I printed out the French script (from The Graphics Fairy) onto tissue paper and used Mod Podge to add it to the front of my can.
I'm definitely going to try this again because I do love the crinkle paint look Rosemary has mastered. Check out her blog to see her other amazing projects and techniques!

So what do you do when you're snowed in yet again with more of the white stuff in the forecast? In between climbing the walls, I made some Frenchy matchbooks.
I broke out some French paper and printed off these beautiful images from the Graphics Fairy.
Simple white matchbooks suddenly become more interesting and almost too pretty to use.
Of course the hubby isn't too pleased with his now "girly" matchbooks.
But to me they are just perfect!

Someone was nice enough to post these vintage Bingo cards on Pinterest earlier this week.
I printed the images out on to cardstock. As luck would have it, I had three frames readily available to frame them.
There are four avid Bingo players in this house so I'm sure I'll be printing out these boards again for us to play on.
In the meantime, I have some "new" vintage art to admire!

I popped into Ikea over the weekend. They have a ton of pretty stuff out already for spring. Since snow is once again in our forecast, I just couldn't bring myself to grab anything for the outdoors. Instead, I grabbed these two pretties.
I believe they are candle holders, although I'm sure you could use them for anything - like holding some faux Dollar store roses.
I love the shabby look and feel to them.
These are some random goodies I picked up last week at our local church thrift store.
Some frames, peat pots and Mason jar lids...
And wood hearts and wooden spools.
Not bad for $2!
