Spray paint tissue paper for custom colored pom-poms.

As I mentioned yesterday, the economy is messing with my Mother’s Day Brunch… which is a big deal around here.  I change up the theme and color scheme from year to year, and this time, I am going with turquoise and apple green, with pops of tangerine. I knew I wanted to make tissue paper […]

So the other day I was in my local Goodwill  (Yes….  The one that sells rocks…)  and I came across this. It clearly had a lid at some point in its life, but the lid was missing and there was a chip on the top of it.Oh.  And it was pink. Who has ever heard […]

This is the project I did for last week’s One Month To Win It challenge. It gave me so many problems that I almost included a “rest in peace” wreath when I sent it off to the judges. Shockingly, this project won for the week. (In spite of my son telling me it looked like […]

So the other day Halsey from Spunky Junky left a comment on an old post of mine saying she thought it was funny. It was so old I had kind of forgotten what it was about, so I re-read it. I cracked up, remembering the situation. I decided to re-post it today in the hopes […]

So 3 bloggy friends (and a fourth friend I haven’t “met” yet) are starting We Want to Know Wednesdays. They say I can avoid laundry by answering a few questions… Avoid the laundry?! I’m in!
