"K" Fall Wreath

While enjoying my

qu"I"et time this morning

and having some YUM-O

coffee...I crafted this.

And it was SUPER labor intensive.

Ha! Kidding!

I picked up my supplies at Hobby Lobby

yesterday. My boys had to endure

a little craft shopping time. And they

struggled BUT I pushed on!

I purchased the K, wreath,

pumpkins, leaf and beery filler

and the burlap for $11.52

The burlap and the K

were not on sale. Everything

else was! OH YEAH!

I mixed Ace Hardwares' Jericho green with

a little Sherwin Williams Divine White and

painted the pumpkins. I spray painted the K

Valspar's Copper Glow. I used some

burlap and made a flower.

When the pumpkins and K were dry, I placed

all the items on the wreath and hot

glued them down.

Then hung it up on the front door.

Yep. That easy!
I {LOVE} fall, fall colors
and fall decor.
(even if it was hot yesterday)
*EXCITED*

Thanks for stopping by!!

Have a great day.

Since October is breast cancer awareness month I am going to do something special.
I am going to paint 1 piece of furniture pink....sell it for best offer and then donate every cent from the sale of the piece for breast cancer research. If you also paint furniture please consider joining me in doing this. If you are not a painter of furniture...please consider buying a piece from a friend who is participating in this....I am starting a group for the painters and anyone interested in possibly purchasing a piece. Thank you in advance. Watch for your invite to join the group Painted Pink.

Whattya say!?! What an amazing opportunity

to do something to strengthen the research

and further our hope

and belief that there is a cure!

Salon Services menu

YAY! I have a lil sumthin' sumthin'

to post about.

Can I get an Amen??

My friend/hair stylist/cousin in law/customer

asked me to create a custom hair menu for

her salon.

It took me a while to get it designed~

had a few technical difficulties.

But alas...it is DONE.

Here's what I used:

Black picture frame

Scrapbook Paper

Vinyl lettering

I created an

Up Words and On Words

custom vinyl using the

list she provided.

Using my Silhouette,

 I cut out the design in

black vinyl.

Once it was weeded...I applied application tape.

I placed the glass on my piece of 

scrapbook paper and put them

on a cutting board.

I used a box cutter and cut out around the glass.

I put the glass in the frame and used a dry erase maker

and traced around the frame. This way, you have

a guide for the vinyl placement.

**I wet the glass with Windex and placed the vinyl on it

By wetting the glass it is easier to re-position and

lessens the chance of bubbles under the lettering.**

  

I let the vinyl sit on the glass for about 20 minutes. This allows the Windex to evaporate.

When ready...use a warm damp cloth and rub over the application tape.

This will help release the application tape.

Once damp...peel away carefully. Make sure your i's are still dotted

and your small punctuation marks are there as well. =)

Once on, wipe off the dry erase marker and clean glass

carefully.

I placed the glass back in the frame with

the scrapbook paper in the background. Then

I put the frame back together.

Here it is:

Have a great day!

What I'm up to & a lil something funny!

While it may appear that

I have abandoned you...

I really haven't.

(what~~>you haven't even missed me?)

Well anyway, I

am hoping to get some posts going here

before too much longer.

I have been toodlin' around

doing this, that and the other.

And a LOT of notta!

True story.

=)

Since school has started,

I haven't accomplished much.

It's hard to keep my eye on lil

brother when I'm sanding

my arm off or spray

painting my brains out.

*Times ah-wastin'*

It'll be getting too

cold soon.

I've also been working

on the registration process

to open a daycare in my home.

Umm...pain staking!

Today

I started working on these

lovely little side

tables.

AND I can.not.wait

until they are completed.

I so hope they turn out

like I have planned in my head!

Anyway.

I'm off to over indulge on

Garlic French Bread.

Here's a little

something funny my

3 year old said to me this

morning:

"Momma, I found a grape"

"You found a grape?"

"Yep...on the floor, why you do that?"

"Ohhh...I'm sorry, I didn't see it there"

"ugggghhhh, YOU KNOW BETTER!!!"

That's true I guess.
LOL

Have a great day and thanks for

sticking with me during this lil

lull of mine!
