Glitter Wine Glasses

Of course, I found this idea on pinterest as well! I went ahead and read all the reviews on this method and chose to go with the Martha Stewart All-purpose glitter! I had to do SEVERAL coats of glitter tho to get it this dark! Practically took the entire bottle. When I was don't I used a spray on adhesive paint. I would not advise putting these in the dishwasher, from what I have read.  Handwash Only!
Here is the link to check out how this lady did her glasses with loose glitter! http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/bm-glasses-1

Bow Making: First Attempt

Here's My First Bow!
I've decided to try a hand at bow making!  I am starting very very simple!  I was in total shock how good my first bow came out.   I watched this tutorial on YouTUbe and her directions were clear and very simple to follow!

Melted Crayon Art!

This has been a craft filled weekend! I am very pleased with one particular one! I got the idea from pinterest (my new favorite past time). There was not a direct link to any blog or anything; Just the picture! So I gathered my crayons, hot glued them to my canvas and started to blow dry! BEWARE: this project can get a bit messy! I had no newspaper, so i set mine in a box and blew it down into the box. When I was all done melting the crayons, I wanted to add a bit more. I found these fake flowers at Michaels for a few dollars and it added just enough touch!

Give Thanks!

This year my mom wanted everyone to write down what we were thankful for at thanksgiving this year! I came up with this cute way to display it and we kept it up for the rest of the year!  Could also work as a guest book for parties or any other events!! 
Just an old picture frame and some chicken wire!

Mapmyfitness App!

Not sure about where your located, but here in sunny California, the weather is gorgeous! Perfect time to start bike riding again! Of course I looked for an app! I found mapmyfitness app! LOVE it!!!! It maps your route, speed, everything. They make a clip on holder for your bicycle or just keep it in your pocket (if you have any:)). So glad it's time to break out the bike!!!:). Just sad I now live in an upstairs apartment. (a little extra workout getting the bike up and down the stairs;))

Easy Monogram Sign!

This is a wooden open shadow box, painted black! (ignore the wet paint).The background is a 12x12 scrapbook paper, and I found this letter at hobby lobby!  I loved the font!  I painted it pink! and added the est 2010 for my sisters wedding gift!  To hang it, I added some 2" sheer black ribbon, but I took the picture before that. Works Great though!
