Teacup Tuesday

Katie over at Rose Breeze Boutique is having a sweet teacup giveaway. These little Paper 'China' teacups are so adorable. They would make lovely gifts. Also, Kim at Shabby, Pink and Pretty is hostessing Teacup Tuesday.

Too Pooped to Post

No Makeover Monday to post today as I have just returned from a two-week stay at my DD's, helping with the grandsons. I will have to see what I can come up with this week to share.

Pink Saturday Giveaway

LillySue is celebrating her 50th follower with a fabulous giveaway. It's a Vintage Pink Cake Carrier. Hurry over to visit her blog A Peace of Bliss for a chance at the prize!

Makeover Monday

What do you think I made out of an old, rusty silver tray from the thrift store?
Well, it involved a can of white spray paint and a beautiful vinyl monogram. I am going to make 3 of them, one for each grandson. They love to have McDonald's breakfast on a tray when they come to sleep over. These are so much more elegant than the old plastic cafeteria trays we were using. I ordered my monograms from Carla who has a shop on Etsy. She is great, reasonably priced and did a beautiful job.

Crafty Corner

I had alot of fun making this flower. All it takes is a small amount of organza and a pretty rhinestone button in the middle. There is a terrific tutorial here

Very easy to follow and not much time if you want a quick project. It involves a lit candle, so I worked near a sink of water and with my DH at home just in case, but I had no problem.

Thanks to Tresa for a great idea.

Makeover Monday

The Before ...

Medicine cabinet minus the brown faux wood laminate door. Yuck!
Repainted, revitalized, re-invented.

The ceramic fishy in the middle was made by our 3 year old grandson.

Makeover Monday

I have been working on my creative space. It was once just a closet.....
....the Before picture.

I was so excited to get a chair cover for my black office chair from the Thrift Store, a real bargain @ 5.99

I made my Inspiration Board from a picture frame and an old cork board that I cut down to size.

I am carving myself out a little creative space in a large closet (down sizing from a room of my own) I have gotten some of the best ideas from my blogging buddy, Sandi @ Wayside Treasures.
