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.
Those are beautiful! I still need to try this mod podge on plate thing. I love all of yours! : )

Holy crap! You’re up to 105! : )
That is just adorable! Great idea, V!
What a fantastic idea! I have a new project for when our house needs more decorations……
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.

I’m in awe! You are a little Martha aren’t you?!!?
At the hospital after a long morning! My hosue was struck by lightning, I’ll post all about it tomorrow!

I would not have even thought to use Mod Podge on plates, how cool! You go crafty lady.
How simple and cute is that?!
How cute! I will have to try that.
You need to open a workshop or something, you’ve got such a creative brain.
Popped in from SITS to say hi! I still love your name. 🙂
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! 😉
FINALLY! Blogger is actually going to let me post a comment!
Those plates are CA-UTE! I love the black on the white…the wording and the birds…the whole bit! I was going to do a Mod Podge post, but didn’t. I’m sucha slacker!

Sooo cute! I love that little bird. Great job Vivienne!

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!
