Dollar Store Spooky House

October 10, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

DollarStore-SpookyHouse

Last month when I went on a buying rampage bought a few things at the dollar store, I picked up a felt haunted house. With absolutely no idea what I was gonna do with it. But, hey, it was only a dollar. You hear me, don’t you. (I was totally gonna say ‘you feel me’ […]

Faux Mosaic Vase with glass paint

October 1, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

Faux Mosaic 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”

September 28, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 4 Comments

Glossy Wood Tone Spray

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

September 21, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 3 Comments

spraypaint-fall-pillow

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

September 14, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 7 Comments

faux-stone-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 […]

Make a Faux Stained Glass Window with #DecoArt

August 23, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 46 Comments

faux-stain-glass

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 – […]

Fashionista Painting

August 15, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson Leave a Comment

lavender high heel painting

You don’t have to be a fashionista to love high heels. I love high heels. I’m not a fashionista. Never have been, never will be. I still love high heels though. There was even a time when I wore them. Way back when. No longer. Now I just paint pictures of high heels. Just like […]

Craft A Chalkboard from a Mirror

June 8, 2012 By Colleen Jorgenson 8 Comments

Craft Chalkboard from Mirror

Yes. You read that right. A chalkboard. From a mirror. It wasn’t exactly what I first had in mind when the great people at Plaid Crafts sent me this goodie box. Craft paint, glitter paint, chalkboard paint, Mod Podge, foam applicators and Hello! new paintbrushes! I always need new paintbrushes. It’s no secret that I […]
