Chevron Tray

This went from  TRASH to TREASURE and then back to TRASH! Found this very plain wooden base/iron holder tray at the thrift store...I think it was $2  I unscrewed the wood...primed it, sprayed it white... taped off my first chevron pattern ever with paper & blue tape... and then sprayed it blue... removed tape and sprayed with clear coat!    I knew I wanted to distress a tad and glaze... it turned out WAY different than I imagined though... but I went with it, because I'm lazy like that!  It might get a red border or something someday... but not today!

Super Mario Brothers Party!!!

"Best Birthday Party Ever!" said Ryan... We did have a fantabulous party! Dan turned 9 last week, and has never really had a "friend" birthday party...so I insisted this year! I think I got more into it than he did... We did the Super Mario Brothers theme! (loosely based on Mario Bros. 3 for those of you like me) We had 16 kids come... They had to go through the obstacle course in order to earn their Mario mustache... World 1: Grass Land Hop across 4 blocks...while carrying a padded sword World 2: Desert Land Use padded sword to hit the angry sun... World 3: Ocean land Use a rubber band gun and hit target of King Koopa Then use the "warp zone" to get to world 4! They carried a balloon through the slip n slide to use in big land. World 4: Big Land They popped the balloon they carried on this chair... World 5: Sky world They got a straw and a cotton ball and had to blow the cotton ball across the tramp... World 6: Ice Land Reach into the bucket of ice...

Clip Organization!

Bobby pins, clippies, hair elastics... always a mess! I got these jars  {3 for $1 at the thrift store, but Ikea sells them too} I hot glued a piece of twill tape on them like a loop... and clipped on the beautiful crocheted flower hair clips that my s-i-l made! Then we can still use the clip, and the jars are stinkin cute! Bwah ha ha!  take that messy bathroom!!!
