Picture Display Holder~10-27-13

Candlestick, cork stopper, and a paperclip.

A pretty nifty way to display a picture.

Before:

I finally gave in and made a monogram for our front door. (I've been seeing monograms EVERYWHERE on the net. 

I'm not real happy with the bottom half of my 'S'.  Oh, well.

Meets After:

A little hot glue,  an untold amount of twine, and an hour and a half of time I now have myself a rather funky 'S' monogram.  Do you have a monogram hanging on your front door?

Before:

A yard sale find for .50cents.  Ugly, ugly, ugly!

Meets After:

After a coat of light green paint...a perfect little tray to hold 6 Mason jars.

Before:

I have had this little lap desk for about 15 years.  I have NEVER liked the pattern on the back. 

So I found an old cloth napkin,  then I hot glued it to the bottom of the tray.

Meets After:

Now,  I LOVE it!

Before:

About 2 years ago, I bought a medium size box of vintage drawer pulls, for $2.00.  It was high time to put some to use.  After cleaning up a few, I gave them a couple coats of gloss white paint.

After:

Love, Love, Love! So simple yet elegant.  I think these will be going on a bathroom cabinet.

Before:

I found this plastic piece of scrollwork on the ground at our local recycling center.  It needed a little something.  That something being gloss white paint.

After:

Sooo pretty.  This piece is now hanging on a Re-purposed Window.

I bought this window/flowerbox in May at a flea market for $5.00. I love the color the frame was painted. What I didn't love was the window scene.

Yard sale find last summer for .50. Not Pretty! But soon to be.

 Before














Meets After



















I painted it a pretty green. Next, I covered a thin piece of cardboard with a piece of pretty material. ( I love my hot glue gun!) I plan on making a few more material covered inserts to change out the tray for different looks or seasons.

I'm Having My First Giveaway!~7-14-10

I am having my first giveaway and I didn't even realize it until I was visiting tales from an oc cottage She is having a very sweet giveaway and I guess I got so excited, I unknowingly clicked on the linky spot. The form looked different from other forms, but I filled it in and hoped to win!! I went to visit her blog today and couldn't find my entry. So I looked around for it and found it under her "if you are having a giveaway" link up section. Boy, do I feel dumb. For some reason I am number 10 and 11! I have never linked up on any blogs yet so far....well until now! LOL!

So I am going to go ahead and have a giveaway!

First up is this sweet little scented pillow I whipped up!
