I love taking items that are ok…and turning them into unique one-of-a-kind pieces with paint. And my favorite paint color to use is “Ooops”. Never heard of that color? Well, that’s because it’s not a color. It’s paint a customer has requested to be mixed but once the lid is taken off…”Ooops, I didn’t want THAT color”. So, the store reduces the price to get it sold. And this project was done with “Ooops paint”. The color is “Shiloh Blue”, a kind of bluish-gray color.

Spring is definitely in the air and you know what that means? Time to mulch!! And it’s even more exciting when the mulch is free. Our local electric company cut down some tree limbs in my back yard and turned it into wonderful, free mulch!! And when you combine that with newspapers you get weed-free landscaping. This is a great, cheap and very earth friendly solution to being weed-free. So grab some newspapers and lets get started…

I have seen these handmade starburst wreaths all over Blogland and have wanted to make one for a while now. And since I am VERY frugal, I decided to make mine with twigs from the great outdoors. I wish I could take credit for this idea but I actually found it over at The Painted Hive. Kristine did a wonderful tutorial on how she made hers and I LOVE, LOVE the idea of using twigs. It’s very rustic, earthy and best of all FREE!!!

I truly enjoy scrapbooking but I am soooo unorganized when it comes to my pictures. This makes it harder to completely enjoy scrapbooking. So, I vowed to become more organized so I can enjoy it once again without becoming frustrated. I went through a HUGE box of pictures and organized every last one of them. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money doing it so I looked to my stockpile of goodies to see what I already had. Well, I had quite a few Ziploc containers that I acquired dirt cheap during a “Super Doubles” trip to Harris Teeter in January.
Read More»Framed Dry Erase Board…
I have a very large framed picture that I no longer like. Here is the picture… I used the matted picture to staple my fabric on so what you’re seeing is the back of the finished dry erase board.
Read More»Mantel Makeover…
I love re-doing my mantel for each season. So to kick off the fall season- and yes I know it’s not officially fall- I wanted something simple. So I went for a mainly white theme. This way I can add some colorful fall leaves, pumpkins, etc.
Read More»Mirror, Mirror On The Wall…
I love mirrors…especially mirrors that make a statement. And this one caught my eye right away at my local Goodwill- even through all of the dirt and dust on it I could see the potential it had. I believe it was $2.50… 1/2 off from the original price. I love the curves and the embellishment on top. The only problem is that it isn’t wood. It’s faux wood, plastic to be exact.
