Car Wall Art

My son's room is all about TRANSPORTATION!! He loves anything that GOES. I found these cute paintings at TARGET, but could not afford their pricey-ness (they wanted 25 buckaroos for ONE... ya RIGHT), so I just made some myself. All in all I spent around $25 on both and have plans for more which won't cost me a thing because I have leftover material!!!
I have NEVER attempted to paint something so this was a bit of a learning experience. I used spunge brushes for most of it and the cars are stencils. Next time I will use some paint brushes and I am sure I will get a more precise look.
Soon I will take a picture of my sons FINISHED room so you can all see it and admire my craftiness.

Linking up to a couple of parties today!!!

I love this site Your Homebased Mom. I am not sure how I came across it, but I have tried out several of her wonderful ideas and LOVE them. She is featuring a wonderful shop right now and you can check it out right here.

A Little Late Perhaps...

I know I am not the first to make hair flowers, but since having my little girl in October I have been a bit inspired, both to make myself more feminine and make my girl even more adorable (as if htat could happen). So I finally hunkered down and FINISHED my first project since starting this blog. WAHOOO!!! Thanks DJ for helping me GET IT DONE!!



The big bows are obviously for me, the smaller for BOTH of us.




I will post a picture later with one on my daughter.

Valentines Wreath

I found this wreath at The Idea Room and can't believe how much I want to do this project. But since Valentimes is a week away, I will have to make it next year or incorporate it with some other AWESOME decoration.
