After the move it took me forever to find all of my spray paint since there were three, maybe four boxes full. Finally I found every precious can and they’re all sitting right next to me in my supply cabinet, each awaiting its call to action. With Halloween coming up, matte black stepped up for […]
21 EASY Halloween Paint Projects
I’ve been digging through my Halloween stash to see what I want to paint for this year and what I already have. I thought I’d paint a haunted house and then I realized I’d already done one. Maybe a spooky tree? Nope. Done that too. Well, dang. I might as well share the list with […]

Craft A Chalkboard from a 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.
