Hello, my dear V Spot Readers. You know that I am pretty open about my family life and I try to keep it pretty real around here. On Wednesday afternoon our son, Mitch, was hit and run over by a car. (A Suburban! Good Lord!) He is going to be alright, thank God, but while we focus on Mitch you’re going to see a few guests dropping by to help me out a bit here and there. Thank you for your prayers and support, and please welcome my friend Jessica from Mad in Crafts. She’s going to share a super cute Dollar Store craft with you today.
Hi! I am Jessica from Mad in Crafts, and I am glad to be able to help Viv out and be here today. Vivienne, as you readers know by now, is a pretty amazing lady and blogger, and I have been praying for a quick and full recovery for Mitch! This is a project that I completed while we were still in spray painting weather here in Michigan. It’s probably spray paint weather all year in California… not that I am jealous or anything.
If there were a piggy bank that was also queen of the fairies, I am pretty sure this is exactly what she would look like.
That is too cute! You definitely need to check out Mad in Crafts for all sorts of inspiration for crafts, parties and food. If you happen to be a creative blogger (or you happen to be someone who occasionally needs to write a coherent, grammatically correct sentence or two) you should check out Jessica’s new e-book.

about Vivienne Wagner
Very sorry to hear about your son. What a terrible thing to have happen. I’m glad to hear that he’s going to be ok.
The little piggy bank is cute 🙂
Heck, Vivienne, is he really ok? Are YOU ok? What an awful thing to happen and yes, I know it could have been worse, but even so. Hugs to you and the boy. And thank you for letting us know. It’s hard to write bad news in a blog.
As for the flying pig piggy bank, that’s super cute and I didn’t know that glitter spray paint was so effective. So that’s how people make glittery stuff without it falling off everywhere!
