A simple thing.

June 30, 2009 22 Comments

I have been more and more crafty lately. (In a good way…) With Doctor’s orders to slow down, and dump some of the perfectionism/responsibility that I heap onto my own plate, taking the time to be creative has been therapeutic for me. And for our budget.

I needed a little something to go over the slider in our dining room. Here’s what $1.50 can get you.

3 white plates from the thrift shop (.50 cents each)

A favorite scripture (well, sort of a scripture) and the image of a couple birds, printed off of the internet, cut out with and X-acto knife and Mod Podged onto the plates. (Free. A great price.)



And yes, I know that pictures at night are bad… oh well. (If you strain your eyes, you can see the plates up there…) Pictures during the day were so back-lit that all you could see was the backyard.
$1.50 works for me.

    First off, I want the name of your Doctor.

    Secondly, that is one of my favorite scriptures. The plates look really great over the doors. What a pretty house you have.

    This is brilliant! And yes, if I can figure out the corn casserole, I’ll totally post the recipe:) Until then though, swing back by and enter for the Triple Chocolate Enrobed Brownie Cake that’s up for grabs! πŸ˜‰

    You are such a crafty little maven. See that? It rhymes with Raven. My comment is even bird themed.

    Love these!! I’ve been watching for some red plates to put in my kitchen, but now I’ve realized after looking at this that I could find white plates and put Red Vinyl/paper on them to get the look I want!! Thank you for the inspiration!
