Valentine Crafts

Do I admit once again that I totally thought I had already featured her?  I went so far as to tell her I didn’t see my featured button on her site.

Valentine crafts are all over the Get Your Craft On!  Do you decorate for Valentine’s day?  Are you already decorated?

Valentines Day Craft

I love this valentines day wreath she made from doilies and a plastic plate……..all while she was watching a movie.  I’m afraid it may not survive the rain here in the NW.  Even though I have a covered porch, I’m wondering if my heart would be sagging after a day.  I suppose I could put it inside……….now there’s a thought. DUH! Valentines Day craft

I love seeing the progression of her dining room.  Love that chalk board……..she made it of course.  Love how she switches up the plates for the season.

DIY Crafts

holiday table decorating I think the white pumpkin is my fave…….and those cute Halloween plates, and the spray painted pine cones. Gotta love that!

decorating the holiday table Here’s a tip for all those plates she uses.

Plate Crafts

diy craft painting plates

Buy a few ugly ones at Goodwill and paint them.  I’ve seen people use spray paint, but she uses an enamel paint.  I like the way it looks.  So creamy. Cream Wear.

Most of the art in her house was created by her.  I think it makes your wall much more interesting.

Crafts for Decorating

wall art for sport fans

Why put something on your walls that everyone has?  You know you can create something original.  Here she used all her old sport tickets to create a collage.  She also suggests doing this with all kinds of tickets.  Concerts……..parking?  :)   Now that would be a conversation starter.

 

Since I’ve got your attention, I think you’ll enjoy these links too.
