Two months ago, in August, I decided I wanted to make a Halloween countdown calendar for my grandson. Two calendars, actually – one for him and one for his two year old sister. I’m not one of those people who gets upset when Christmas decorations show up in July. I welcome them because I know […]
Faux Mosaic Vase with glass paint
There’s nothing better than projects that go really, really fast. Right? This project, however, does not fall into that category. Just sayin’. It’s not that it’s difficult. Quite the opposite. It’s actually really simple. I used the glass stain paints I used for the faux stained glass fall leaf window and a square vase I […]
Glossy Wood Tone – My “Secret Weapon”
I’ve been using Glossy Wood Tone by Design Master ever since I had my flower shop a long, long, long time ago. It’s one of my ‘staples’ for floral design, which I tend to do every year around this time. More on flowers later. The other day at Michael’s I picked up my annual can […]
Spraypaint Burlap Pillow with Dollar Store Leaf
Yesterday I shared my burlap ‘score’. I couldn’t let a pile of burlap just sit there when I had two nekked chairs now, could I? These pillows are ridiculously easy too. All you need is spray paint and a felt leaf from the dollar store. Oh, and burlap, of course. Although any fabric would work. […]

Easy “Faux” Stone Dollar Store Platter
I promised myself I wasn’t going to buy anything new for Halloween this year. I wasn’t going to decorate here at the house either. I have a few plans for my grandson’s house, but not here. Nope, not gonna do it. Then I went to the Dollar Store, just to kill time while Mom was […]
Transfer Kids Painting to Totebag with #ScrapAttitude
I have a wonderful solution for transferring your kids, or grandkids, paintings to nearly anything – Scrapbooking Attitude! It’s the age-old question: what do I do with all the paintings my kids make when my refrigerator is already covered? Ok, maybe not. But if you have littles, you know how they love having their paintings […]
Make a Faux Stained Glass Window with #DecoArt
I am so excited to share this project with you! A few weeks ago I received an incredible box of assorted glass paints from DecoArt. They are scrumptious! You’ll be seeing tons of glass painting projects here soon, believe me. But when I saw Glass Stains, I knew what my first project would be – […]
