celebrate CREATIVITY in all its forms

OH, THE WONDERS OF IVORY SPRAY PAINT

H ave you ever worked on a project that was so simple you wondered why you hadn't done it sooner?  Well, that's how I feel about this desk organizer which was the focus of a recent makeover project.

The transformation was super simple and it only required one small supply which packed a pretty big punch.

Mirror, Mirror

I

love a good bargain and an equally good makeover project.  I recently got the best of both after finding this wonderful mirror at a local antique/thrift shop.

 

Marvelous Marbling

How many times have you admired beautiful marbled silk scarves at some high end retail store?

Did you know you can make them yourself?  Throughout this post, I'll show you how easy it is to turn a plain white silk scarf into a work of colorful art.

 

Hang 'em High

Pretty aprons don't grow on trees, but it sure would be nice if they did, wouldn't it?

I've had this collection of homemade aprons for a while but until recently, they were unceremoniously relegated to the back of a dresser drawer.

 

Stick a Pin In It

If you're like me, you're probably always on the lookout for ways to use things already in your possession.  It's especially rewarding when those same things can be used in exciting and fun new ways.  

I think the official term is "re-purposing".  This pretty bulletin board is a great example of re-purposing-and it's also a fun and fairly easy project to make.

 

Falling Leaves

Can you believe it's nearly Thanksgiving already.  While I generally don't do much of the actual heavy duty Thanksgiving Day cooking, I do tackle dessert preparations (as well as cleanup duties for that matter). 

This year, I'll be adding something new to the dessert table with these easy decorative napkins.
