Is it a gift or a curse? And it happens a lot...I am wondering down the aisle at Hobby Lobby and see this...It's a Christmas ornament. A harmless plastic deer head with glittered antlers. But my mind is saying...This could be a much cooler Christmas wall hanging with an influence from my favorite Courtly Check of MacKenzie Childs!After purchasing it,I painted the head...

CopyCat Art
I can not take credit for this design. Credit goes to Doreen's blog of Hymns and Verses! When I first saw her tutorial on a Valentine's canvas HERE, where she actually gives the templates to use, I knew that this would be the perfect wedding gift to my daughter's dear friend. This is the one that Doreen made and shared...I wanted to make my own spin on this by adding color first to the...

Art from Sharpie Pens!
If you are like me, you learn so much on what others share via blogs and Pinterest that there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to study it all or even begin to make it.I do find however, that there are some things that peak my interest so much, especially when it is this simple and fun.See, the plate?

Framed Rose Print Serendipity!
To me, it is serendipity when things just fall into place or when I am at the right place, at the right time.This is the case with my framed rose print.I came across a beautiful old rose print that had damaged edges and the previous owner folded the sides to make it fit another frame. I have a thing for roses, especially vintage.I knew that I would need to sacrifice some of the print if...

NOTE: This saucer was attached by the manufacturer and can not be removed.I really loved the lines and color of this piece and instead of selling it in my booth, I decided to make it into... a sweet nesting complete with eggs.All I had to...

Buyer's Remorse To Buyer's Rejoice!
Have you ever bought something and had buyer's remorse when you had time to think more clearly? This happened to me about a month ago.I found two beautiful framed prints of topiarys. They were large and the frames were ornate. I paid too much for them to call them a DEAL, but overall the frames alone were worth the price.One of the two printsWhen I had time to step back and review my...

Please Remove Your Shoes & A Clients Foyer
I can't say that this was my idea. I got the idea from Pinterest where there is a wealth of great ideas. I was initially overwhelmed with decorating a huge home by myself, but a friend that I helped decorate her new home recently told me, "You are the Queen of putting personality into a home!" (Thanks Lindsay) That is all it took to spur me on to this new project. So here is how I put personal...

Wall Flower Art
These plastic Wall Flowers are popular right now. Have you seen them?I have a client that had these on the wall in her little daughter's bedroom. Since I was decorating this room, I needed this wall space for something else (I will share more on that in another post).These flowers stick on the wall with peel and stick tape and it is very hard to get it off the wall without any wall damage....
