I Put a Bird on it!

When in doubt put a bird on it.  Birds make everything better.   ASCP doesn’t hurt either. 

I went to Hobby Lobby, and bought this adorable stencil.  Actually I bought two, but you have to wait to see what I did with that on.  bwahahah…that’s my evil laugh, convincing? 

 

ASCP, Old White.

Close up.

Fake plants for cloche.  That’s about as original as I was feeling.

 

So what do you think?  Pretty easy, affordable and cute.

 

What do you think?

I went to Hobby Lobby the other day, cause I'm addicted, and found these cute trunks on clearance.  SCORE!  What do you think about them?  I put them in the office, cause the office doesn't get enough attention!  lol

I bought them to go in my room, but some how they didn't make it.  I  made the picture frame, well I embellished it.  I have a great tutorial coming up, you'll have to stop back by.....;)

I haven't decided what to put on them yet, or in them, but they will probably be used as extra storage.  They had three sizes available, but I only bought the small and medium one.  They would make a great side table too.  These two together are the perfect size for that.

Cheers and Happy Friday! xx

Just Keeping My Promise....

I wish I had taken before pictures!  Does it show that I'm new?  I'm going to try to do better.  Apparently my camera should be on me at all times, never know when I'll need a before picture.  Sorry there won't be any in this post, but I know you can picture what they might have looked like before.  You can do it!

So this little guy looked like a little deer head, and as cute as he was before, he wasn't my style.  I've been wanting an all white deer head for a while.  Crazy, I know.  What's crazier is you can buy these little guys as is for $50 and up.  That's the real crazy.  I got him for $9.95 and just added some of the primer and paint I had at home, left over from another project.

Here he is again, what do you think?  Love him?  Hate him? 

Okay so the piece on the left is the new piece.  I put it here at first and just wasn't happy with it.  I think these two need a friend, I just think the scale of this one is off, so I moved it.  I'm not really sure why I like these little pieces so much, but my collection has grown to four in just a few weeks.

Ah, new home in the craft hutch.  So much better.  And look Sommer I opened the door before I took a picture! 

Okay, so this isn't that special, I agree.  That being said, it will be once you see it in place.  Well then why isn't it in place?  Listen here smarty pants, it will be as soon as it has a few more friends...so there!

 I have to add, I love that paint can make anything work in your home.  Thank you paint!

What was that? Two posts in one day!!! Crazy, I know!

Okay, so for the longest time I've been meaning to drive over to Hobby Lobby.  Well today was the day.  I always think of this on Sunday, and we all know they are closed on Sunday.  Here's some pics of the stuff I scored, and I did score.  50% off everything!!!!  Woo hoo, see how much money I saved you Babe!!!  lol

I love this little mirror, it has a stand attached to the back like a photo frame, never seen one like it before.   I promise I don't live under a rock...:)

These plates caught my eye right away.  They were made for the plate stand, really.  Who doesn't like toile, and on a plate! 

This little plate was too cute to pass up too.  I think I may go back and buy a whole set.  :)  Don't sweat it Babe, they are on sale.

I've been looking for something just like this to stick up here for the longest time.  It still needs more stuff, but I was thinking this is a good start.  Connor came in the backdoor right after school and saw them right away and said "Mom, I like your letters!"  What a good boy!

Finally, the cloches got a little love too.  I painted them over a week ago, but they have sat empty until today.  I thought these little pears would work great, and I was right!!  lol  Plus, I may go back and buy these cute little pumkins I saw.  Won't that look cute in these for Fall?

Okay, so I have three more surprises for you, but they will have to wait until tomorrow.  They are in the garage drying, not all the things I got today were perfect as is.  I did have to paint a few, but three is not bad.
