Snowy Day Project




Ok almost forgot to take a before picture again...I had already sprayed white and started painting stripes but I did remember! Anyway this was originally supposed to be a Christmas gift for Ashlee. It was just a plain brown rocker in a box that I got for 9.99. I put it all together and sprayed it all white and it sat in the hall closet until today. Since it was all snowy outside and we couldn't go anywhere I decided to get some of the kids' stuff out to consign and instead somehow ended up doing the chair. Anyway I just painted some areas and papered some areas. Glue and paint, and a small boa. All stuff I had in my craft room, aka laundry room... So total cost of the chair was still $9.99 and took about 2 hours. Ashlee loves it and has been sitting in it all afternoon.

Wooden Photo Blocks



I made 5 of these for Christmas gifts this year for family, in various designs and sizes. This one was my favorite. Got a 97 cent wood block at hobby lobby, painted the edges, glued on a picture and mod podged over the photo. I just added some embellishments on the bottom-this one is wrapping paper, a ribbon and crystal G sticker. Some blocks will stand on their own but this one wasn't thick enough so just bought a little wooden stand to go with it. Total cost of project is only about $5.00

Bedroom Makeover







I am sure I have stated on here that I am tired of red and green. Love the colors, just tired of looking at them in my house because they were everywhere. Just re-did my bedroom, and funny green ended up back in there, but a much better shade. Anyway, just did some minor changes. Same furniture and paint but different accessories. Here are some before and after pics.
