Pinterest to Life {Jewelry Tray/ Cupcake Stand}

How was y'alls 3 day weekend? I had a GREAT weekend! Saturday I crafted with mom, Sunday went to my aunts and visited with my cousins, aunt, dad, and step-mom. Monday... I vegged out in this AWESOME weather!

How ironic that this was the "last weekend of summer" and the weather took a turn for cool? I'm in love people! In LOVE with this weather!

Anywho... How about a

Project that is NOT an outfit?!?

Well Mom found THIS cute pin. And I had THIS pin.

So while Mom was out at the local thrift shops she found some really cute plates, saucers, and candle sticks.

We busted out the glass glue and got to work.

Centered the candle stick onto the bottom plate.

Then glued around the other end of the candle stick and placed the saucer on top of that.

Jewelry Holder? Cupcake holder? The possibilities are endless!

Mason Jar Holder

I'm pretty sure that Mason Jars are God's gift to homemakers.

They look vintage, and chic, and rustic, and everything I want my home to represent.

I-LOVE-MASON-JARS!

So I made a mason jar holder for my FABRIC FLOWER BOUQUET.

I simply took a piece of 1x6, cut it down to about 8" long and painted it. Then I used a pipe clamp that I got from a home improvement store (I took a jar with me to the store to find the perfect size) and screwed it into the wood. Nailed a picture hanger to the back and hung it up. Easy and Cheap. Just how I like it. {hehe}

Here's some more Mason Jar "Pinspiration"

PB Knock-off!

Hello!!! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!!! I know I did! I've missed y'all though! I'm happy to be back and with a fun Pottery Barn knock-off to boot! While out shopping with my momma she found this little guy at Target.

The little guy on the top right corner.

Cute but not exactly what Mom and I were thinking for a gift.

So I took the little guy home and got to painting! First I primed him with some flat white paint. (By "I" I mean my hubs G ;-) )

Then I used my Cricut and some vinyl to cut out a bunch of circles and 2 "N"'s. I stuck them on him and painted him black. It took a couple coats of the black but once he was covered I let him dry completely!

Next I took off the vinyl, painted his eyes and nose back on, shot a couple coats of clear sealer on him and he was done!

(He kinda looks tired! Or high! Lol)

Not Exactly the same but I think he turned out cute! And a hole heck-of-a-lot cheaper! 

Here are some pics from Christmas with the in-laws! I don't have any from the other Christmas get-together that we had.

 (Family feel free to e-mail me some of those!)

(May, G, and Me)

(Me and D, Can you believe he's only 16?!?!?! This right here is the next Dirk Nowitzki! We call him the man child!)

(MIL and SIL)

(Big G and Grandad!)

Hope you all had a joyful holiday season!

What's Black and White and Re(a)d all over???

The Newspaper silly! Or in this case a book! So I've seen a lot of book wreaths in Blogland lately. I love anything and everything to do with books! I want an at home library some day! So it hurt me to destroy a book for this project but hey I'm still kicking (and I LOVE how it turned out!)! Plus this book was free, from 1970 and asked on the cover if you could tell if this woman was loose?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!

Yes it did... So I didn't feel TOO bad about tearing out the pages!

What you're going to need:

• Book (Free)
• Unfinished wood frame (Michael's $1)
• Exacto Knife (Had)
• Glue (Had)

First I covered the frame with glue.

Then I laid out some pages over the frame and put on another layer of glue on top to seal it.

I did about 2 or 3 coats of glue across the top to really seal it! Then I used my Exacto knife to cut off the excess (once it was dry of course!). I put a picture in it and was ready to roll!

I did NOT plan it this way but I thought it was too cute not to point out...

One spot on the frame says "Hold My Hand"

   

and another spot says "Wonderful Touch"

       

       

Pretty cute I think! How about y'all?!?!

        

         

   

Okay enough of mine and G's kissy wedding pic... I just love it though! And all for ONLY ONE DOLLAR!!!!! Whoot Whoot!!!
