My DIY tray project (before and after)

I've had this plastic tray for sale in my Etsy vintage shop for months, priced at $4. It had a cute asian-looking design, but it had some scratches and I didn't think anyone would ever buy it. Sooo... I gave it a new mod facelift! I sprayed it with red Krylon spray paint and I made some custom vinyl circle decals for the center. I love it now!!

Tree time

My vintage aluminum tree is finally up! Now I get to sit on the couch and gaze at it. Good times!

One Creative Girl

I can never get enough of collage artists! I'm always so intrigued when an artist uses old magazine clippings, it's like art inside art. On that note I'm really loving the quirky humor in Mellissa Gable's collage work. Check out more of her work on her Etsy page One Creative Girl.

Two lucky winners!

Andrew S. & Heather W. are the winners of my kitty family prints! Keep checking back for more contests! Congrats to the winners!

Santa Cake

I saw this cake on http://curly-wurly.blogspot.com a few years ago and I've always wanted to make it. I'm sure my husband and my dad would love it since it's covered in coconut!

Dynamic Space

My husband was watching the "Kitchen Cabinets Basics" (1 of 9) from the New Yankee Workshop a few night ago and man was I impressed! Last year Norm completely redid a kitchen as part of a 9 part series and in the first part he visits a Dynamic Space kitchen showroom and wow! Their kitchens are so well designed! Check out the video below of Norm exploring my dream kitchen.
