Cake stand.....
I bought these at a good will store. The little cheese cutting board and glass cover was only $1.00 and the salt shaker was a Quarter!!!! Yay for a super fun find.
I removed the top part with a screwdriver so that I would have a flat surface to glue the dish to!
I sanded down and cleaned the shaker and the cutting board so that the paint would stick better!!
I used a green Acryllic paint and painted the whole thing using white to accent the edges then painted white dots on the middle part of the salt shaker and the edges of the board then used another shade of green (lime green) to add a little extra touch to the dots! I let it dry completely then sealed it in by spraying a clear coat over the entire thing.
When it was completely dry I used a generous amount of Gorilla Glue to Glue the 2 together. Then of course I had to make some cupcakes to display my little work of art!!!! Recipe HERE!!!!

Baby food bins....
These little plastic baby food bins make me so happy....they make the perfect storing solution for scrap-booking embellishments and buttons. They are clear so it's easy to see whats inside. They easily snap shut and are sturdy. You could even take them a step further and glue some thin magnet thingamajigs on the bottom to use on a magnetic board. LOVE em!!!

Renewed passion for an old love....
The last time I remember trying to sketch a person was when I was doodeling Neal's face all over my notebooks. It's been a while but I forgot how awesome it made me feel.
Today our house was a mess my kids were crabby and I was feeling blue.....
As I was putting away toys and then folding laundry and changing leaky diapers I realized how much I do for those around me.....
Don't get me wrong I love being a mom and a wife and I would not trade it in for anything in the world and I actually do not mind cleaning up messes and dirty diapers BUT.......
sometimes we all deserve to be a little selfish and today I rekindled a passion for an old LOVE and things might just never be the same again!!!!
