Dollar Store Halloween Finds

I saw this ugly dollar store owl project on either Pinterest or a blog. 

I wish I could remember because I'd love to give her credit on my blog. 

Anyway, after I saw it somewhere I went to the Dollar Tree looking for black birds, 

and there was the ugly owl!!! I had to buy two. One for me and one for my sister. 

I also found a jackpot of black birds, 

and some lovely pumpkins that I couldn't pass up.

After a good 6 coats of off white spray paint the ugly owls are now super classy!

Here are the classy owls with the pretty $1.00 pumpkins.

And with a few of the $1.00 black birds (which I bought 12 of).

Thank you mystery owl painter for the inspiration! 

And thank you Dollar Tree for having ugly owls and black birds!

Christmas Table Scape

This year my Christmas/ Hanukkah table scape is done in shades of blue and silver.I always include the large wall mirror that hangs in my dinning room. I've also moved up to the light fixture and around the corner to the niche just outside the dinning room. I'm really happy with the color choice and I thankful for my daughter Lauren for climbing up on the table and dusting the light fixture and doing such a great job decorating it.
My Cricut was smoking while I was making all the blue and grey birds for the mirror. Oh how I love my Cricut!

I love my little vintage snow babies!

Look at all those blue birds. Thank you Cricut!

Christmas Has Come

The trees (3 of them) are up and the snow is falling. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
I've done my "table scape" that includes my wall mirror and light fixture.
I also made a Christmas (Noel) banner that is reversible with winter (snow) on the back side.







Below is a reminder of how I attach the paper with a liquid glue and then sand the edges to get a perfect clean look.
