New storage item

Hubby and I went thrift store shopping this weekend. I found this great metal stand.

It holds these glass bottles and I though it would be great to hold my embossing powders.

With a can of white spray paint I transformed it into this....

I didn't show the tops but what I did was punch out 1" white card stock circles and embossed each one with the EP in the bottle.
Honestly I was inspired by my trip to the Urban Barn....now I look at everything with shabby chic eyes....grin!



My big purchase

Thought I'd share my big purchase from the Urban Barn....I was good and only got a couple of things....one being this frog flower to hold my cards...love it!
This is a card I made for hubby to cheer him up...it's been so hectic moving and not having time to spend with each other.....it did the trick...it sits on his night stand....aw!

Come see what I found....

Went with a girlfriend last week to this place here in town.....I fell in love with all it's wonderful shabby chic decor....come on take a stroll with me!


I never thought of myself as a chandelier gal but after seeing some of the ones here I'm on the hunt to make one over....now wouldn't that look nice hanging in my art room.

Check out these little shakers....now wouldn't some nice sparkly glitter look yummy in them!

Check out these storage units....they would be great in any art room and look their already pink!

Ok, now wouldn't you just love to have this Gypsy wagon...oh the possibilities!

Now this is the mother ship of chandeliers....so elegant and huge!

I fell in love with this birdcage.....how cute or creepy!

Everything in this picture caught my eye....the vanity, the wire dress form.

I call this the timeout cage....check out the little chair inside...too cute and it's huge....you could put a child in there....heehee!
This caught my eye and hubby's when I took him there...can you imagine someone taking the time to attach all those shells on that hutch.....not me!

Another find I fell in love with.....that mermaid would look good in my bathroom!
This picture doesn't do it justice...the colors are so vibrant and she's so vintage looking!

Lots of doll heads with crowns of course.

Shabby chic looking!

Another nice set up...


Well....here we are at the end of our stroll....I hope you enjoyed it and got lots of ideas...I know I did!

New Home

We couldn't take our little baby with us in the move....it was hard to give her up since we raised her from a tiny little pup....but the Lord found her a wonderful home and we are very happy.

She lives with a very nice family who lover her so much and she has three kids with a bid yard and other dogs to play with. Turns out she is the little girls dog and she sleeps with her in her room and they are best buds....love it. Maybe she will be able to put pink bows in her hair....something Mr B wouldn't let me do.
We miss her but knowing Shayla is in a loving home makes it OK!

We moved all the big stuff this weekend...I tweekend my back.....not good but as I always say "Ah suck up and deal with it"....ahaahahaha....that's what I'm doing.
We had to give our little Shayla a new home and from what I hear she's doing just fine.
She has three kids to play with and a neighborhood full of playmates too!
I got an email from her new mama saying that she is exhausted from all the playing....that's a good thing....love it!
Well, hope to be back online soon...have to come back to the old house to get on the internet...I can't wait to start doing videos again....I miss everyone.
HUGS!!!

Another New Storage for Spellbinder Dies

Below is another new storage idea I came up with a couple of weeks ago...just got around to putting labels on them this morning.
I purchased some of the magnetic sheeting for vent covers at Lowes and cut them to fit inside a clear pencil pouch.
The pouches came from Office Depot. They were a back to school special a couple of weeks ago...5 cents each limit 5 at a time...so since hubby worked there he picked me up 5 a day all week......good scrubby!

I love this idea for a few reasons.....they are protected in the pouch, you can fit two per pouch depending on the size of the die....I do have a few that on has one die in them and if your going on a crop you can just take the pouch(s) you need instead of the whole binder.
I have a piece of white card stock behind the pouch below for a better idea as to what it looks like.
Thanks for taking a peak.

Hugs!


New Stamp Storage

Below are pictures of a new stamp storage system that was inspired by Michelle Criswell at Scrappin with my bug she has a video tutorial too.
You can see from the picture below that they are CD/DVD pouches from Office Depot.
They come 10 in a pack for about $8.00 and there's two pouches on each sheet.....this will hold 40 sets of stamps.
I just got these on Friday and still need to label each stamp set if applicable.
Also, you can see from the first picture that I used velcro dots to keep each flap closed. These are the thin ones that I use in minis.....not so bulky.

Hope you enjoyed and feel free to use this yourself.
Thanks again Michelle for the great idea.

Sadness & Blessings

Just wanted to share with you all what has been happening....first we are loosing our home and am in the middle of packing and moving.....which leads to a moving sale that we're getting ready for.
My Dell computer took a dump and we had to go get another laptop.....much cheaper than that nasty Dell was...yeah...so I'm back online. This helps with selling big ticketed items.
The sinus infection I've been fighting for the past three months finally caught up to me this week....yuck...but I'm on the mend and that's a blessing.
That's it for me.
Hope you're all having a wonderful summer.....can't believe next weekend is Labor Day!

HUGS!

Doing the happy feet dance....

I'm back online....my dell took a dump and we just went a got a Toshiba....bonus....I got video software by Sony so now I can edit my YouTube videos and as soon as we move and get settled I can start recording videos again.
I'm planning on doing classes in the clubhouse too so that's a plus too!

I'm a very happy blessed gal tonight!
