Blog Hoppin...

So the past few days I have been blog hoppin and OMG I have found sooooo many Wonderful new blogs that I love! These ladies are brilliant and have such Wonderful tips! You can see my list of them that I am following on the left side of my page and plus I will list a few of my faves at the bottom of this post! My blog is so blah, and I am so jealous of all these others, lol...It's so addicting. They all have such wonderful ideas on decorating with what you have, so many projects that even I could do!



A must to check out is The Nester's Nesting Place, she Loves toile and if you know me at all you know I am Toile obsessed!
Just a few of my other faves are...

Life in Grace

Make it and Love it


So as I have been inspired by these blogs I am commiting to finishing a few things this coming week. One as you see in the picture below is my sad, icky, entryway. I promise my whole house isn't that bad. Yea the entryway, where everyone walks through and sees first is the place to look like that, lol. I know, Right? Anyways, I am going to paint the ugly paneling, and the sad dirty door and make it look pretty in there and I will post after pictures as soon as it is finished. The picture is horrible as My entryway is teeny tiny, you walk in the front door, and there is my entryway and immediately in front of you there is a french door to the living/dining room. That's it! LOL but I have such a neat piece that I got from my mom in there I need to make the room look pretty for it! So Wish me Luck! ( I am so embarassed to show this picture )

These I made with some paper mache letters I got at Hobby Lobby, scrapbook paper, black paint, and some modge podge...They are so easy to do.



This is a plain wood box I purchased at Michaels and covered in scrapbook paper and antiqued a bit, I then had my hubby cut a slit in the top as I am using the box in a salon for drawings and givaways for my candles...

These were some beat up ugly wood plaques I got in the 90% off isle at hobby lobby, I think they were .80 cents. I covered them in scrapbook paper and covered the little birdie cutouts in a cordinating paper and there you have it...

These are just some wood letters I altered with scrapbook paper for someone...






I haven't crafted in a couple of weeks, been so busy with everything else in life! I did however finish up a few things a couple of weeks ago that never got posted so here they are...Have a Great Day!

Just finished up....Baby Shower Centerpieces.









These are so much fun to make, there are so many different things you can do with them and they are so much nicer than your store bought decorations! They would be super cute with baby themed lollipops in them as favors, a teddy bear, washcloth lollipops, onsies, pacifiers, anything baby would work in these...The bases could be painted or embellished, there is so many possibilities for these! They are nice made with things the mom to be can use!
