Freshly added gold paint to these old frames. These will be layered and added to our Flea Circus

Wedding Booth in May at Crompton Collective

I created a new wall shelf out of a dresser drawer. I want to keep this for myself, but it will be sold! I have more to create though, so yay I can let this one go- Isn't the bunting so much fun? I put eye hooks at the top so fun things can be hung, baker's twine, recipe cards, etc...

Back to the studio!

spring cleaning!

Are you spring cleaning?

We have begun here.

Getting ready for a Spring flea market at church, organizing, painting, home interiors being revamped, more perennial gardens being reworked, (that's all my husband)

I love getting rid of stuff and love collecting stuff, so basically I can't get out of my own way.

It's really funny and my husband will see changes in our home ALL of the time!

 Share your best spring cleaning tips!

My old standby is Ivory soap in a bucket of luke warm water for woodwork.It degreases amazingly!

My Poppa used it in his gas station back in the 50's. It's been passed down ever since!

Here's to cleaning and reorganizing, and flowers and fun!

 

it's a snowboarding b-day party for my 7 yr. old boy

and what's on the menu? CAKE! A snowboard terrain park cake complete with Lego snowboarders from EBay, Kit Kats as the rails and pieces of cake for the jumps. My husband made and decorated the cake with Will! What a guy! ;)

I went to Walmart and bought a package of colorful balloons for a dollar. I made a balloon bunch hanging with baker's twine from my chandelier with paper lanterns mixed in.

The pinata was a not planned to buy item that is full of candy. Arg! I don't know why I allowed my child to talk me into buying this! His cute little cheeks just got me as they did the day he was born. xoxo. I used his snowboard as a mini buffet and his helmet too. A free chalkboard did the trick for a quick sign.

The rubber egg guys I found at Wal-Mart! The boys loved decorating them with mini mustaches and markers. This birthday guy liked to wear them. Wow, he's proper! 

Happy Birthday my 7 year old! Time goes by way too fast!
