Frosted Branches – The Right Way This Time

December 14, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 8 Comments

How To Frost Branches

Last week I attempted to ‘frost’ some oak branches. They looked . . . alright. Just alright, though. I’m classifying them as Not Very “PIN-teresting”. (If you’re on Pinterest, you get it.) I have a couple more NVP’s coming up too. Not terrible. Just not what I had anticipated. I’ll keep working on those other […]

Note: Since this was written I tried another group of branches that turned out much, MUCH better! I hope you check out How To Frost Branches – The Right Way. How much time do you spend visiting blogs? I try and tell myself that, as a blogger, it’s part of the ‘job’. It’s my private […]

Did you ever play with paper dolls when you were a kid? Do your children? Or do they just hop on the computer now and use the ‘digital avatars’ like my grandson? I gotta tell you, I had a total blast creating these Snowman paperdolls. (I’m thinkin’ I must not have had paper dolls as […]

Day 22: Painted Fall Wine Goblets

Painted Fall Wine Goblets

Hi there! I’m so excited to show you this Fall paint project today. Now, at first glance you might think that there’s no way you’d want to paint wine goblets. A few hours ago, I felt exactly the same way, believe me. You see, I have a little history with painting wine glasses. As in, […]

Fall Leaf Burlap Mantel Scarf

September 26, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson 2 Comments

fall-mantel-scarf

I don’t know what it is about Fall, but it tends to bring out the ‘crafter’ in me. And that’s a little scary because while I’m comfortable painting and creating art, I’m totally uncomfortable crafting and attempting to create cuteness. But every year ‘round this time, I give it another try. This year was no […]

Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth with Krylon Dual Spray Paint

July 5, 2011 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Paint a Watermelon Floorcloth

Who doesn’t love spray paint? If there’s something easier, and quicker, to transform a project, I don’t know what it is. So I was beyond excited to try a new spray paint by Krylon. It’s paint + primer. In one can! I couldn’t wait to give this paint + primer a try. I had been […]

Dryer Sheet Candle Wraps

October 4, 2010 By Colleen Jorgenson 7 Comments

Yes, you read right. Dryer sheets. These guys that you use if you forget to add fabric softener to your rinse cycle. Have you ever noticed the texture of these guys? Crinkly, but not like tissue paper. Webby, but not like spider webs. (Although, I bet someone could come up with something for Halloween with […]
