Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So...I have a growing frustration right now caused by NOT being able to comment or reply to comments on blogger. >:-{ grrr...

>:-{ double grr >:-{

And the fact that I am too far behind on my email messages to get all caught up in a timely manner doesn't help my irritability about the whole deal.

*~*HOWEVER*~*

 I absolutely appreciate you all stopping by and leaving such great comments!

Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

Have a great day!

Enjoy the simple things in Life-old window

Yesterday I started working on a 6 pane old window. Ideally...it would have been great to have it shabbier but, "you gotta do what you can with what you have." I didn't bother with sanding or any touch ups. I did wash it up though.

I filled each of the three lower panes with different scrapbook paper pieces embellished with an elegantly simple dandelion theme. I used Elmer's spray adhesive to get them good 'n stuck. Sticky, sticky stuff and messy. Use caution when spraying it. ;)

 [LOVE]

It's hard to tell but the paper is very pretty. 

I created an Up Words & On Words vinyl design and cut it out in beige using my Silhouette.

I applied the middle vinyl first to make it easier to center the outer words.

**HINT: when putting vinyl on glass it's a good idea to moisten (weird word) the glass with Windex. It helps for TWO reasons: 1. easier to re-position if necessary and 2. helps lessen the chance of air bubbles between the glass and the vinyl**

(that table leg and phone cord is a bonus. lol)

Whatta ya think???

SWEET CORN a sign of summer

Let me start off by saying...I AM NOT a fan of the color yellow. In fact in most instances if not all instances I think it should be banned! LOL. I'm serious!
*But...it's OK if you like it.* =)

BUT, while looking through a Lowe's Creative Idea's magazine, I happened to notice a cute little sign. It was yellow and green and simple. And it said Sweet Corn. OH YEAH! Nothing says summer like sweet corn right?? So, I broke down...went against all I believe in where yellow is concerned and painted with yellow. 

I'm such a big girl. I am evolving if you will. =)

I was lucky enough to bring some weathered wood home from my husband's family's ranch. Oh good stuff indeed! I measured and used my hand saw to cut it. Then I spray painted it Krylon's Bright Idea yellow. I gave it two very healthy coats. While it was drying, I created SWEET CORN and used my Silhouette to cut it out. 

I transferred the vinyl to the sign.

Then painted it a blue/green mixture of paint I had on hand.

Then peeled the vinyl off. And sanded lightly to expose [more] yellow. ;)

I tied it on each end with hemp string for hanging.

 Whatta ya think??
