Kitchen Remodel

So this is what the kitchen looked like before the refresh...

And this is what it looked like after....

Here is what we used...
Flashing and tiles for the back splash. Counter tops look like granite.

Birthday Basket

Goodies Include a bottle of wine, Glitter Wine Glass, My homemade face oil, body scrub, and lubricant.

Snow day glitter

So this is what happens when you give me, one of these #snowday2014












So I started blinging stuff, catch the tutorial here, and now I am taking the glass to a different level, I wanted a more polished look, my daughter suggested wire, and this was the end result.

More Bling for Spring....

I am in the process of preparing gifts for my awesome coworkers, here is a glimpse at what I used for this go round...Wine glasses, three different flasks, and my rusty old paper towel holder.... And here are the finished products....

Glitter is my therapy

As I plow through Grad school work, I have discovered glittering items to be my stress reliever. I woke up and decided to do a flask, which makes an awesome gift for the bride to be, and a tin box.

Here are the deets...

All you need is some glitter, Mod Podge, brush, tape, clear lacquer spray paint to finish.

If the bride/lover of shiny things does not drink, the flask still makes a great gift and comes in handy to keep mouthwash in her purse. Great way to always keep fresh breath ;)

I did some red wine glasses for Valentines Day...

Making the Ordinary Beautiful

As I age, I have discovered an affinity for all things girly and pretty probably because I spent so much time rejecting this stuff when I was younger.  I am now hooked on my newest crafting venture, glitterizing wine glasses (and anything else I can find)....thank you http://inspiredesignandcreate.com 

for the awesome inspiration!

Finished Product

 

Items needed...

 Be careful, working with glitter is addictive, I started searching the house for other items....

Getting Crafty for my Bonus Daughter's Wedding!

So I found this awesome idea on Pinterest and they came out so good, I had to share!  I bought the Dollar Store Vases and Candles from there as well.  Tip make sure you line the bottom with salt to collect the dripping wax for easy clean up!

Rubber Bands and Dollar Store Vases

 Assemble the rubber bands

Spray paint vases and let dry for an hour.  When removing the rubber bands, do so while vase is inserted in a garbage bags, there will be paint dust flying!

Add some salt at the base (to collect wax drips) and a Dollar Store Candle and Voila! A beautiful frosted glass candle holder, that looks like it cost way more than a few bucks! I made 25 and my bonus daughter will be lining the isle with them and I will use them to decorate for the rehearsal dinner! All for less than $65!
