DIY Art

Hello Readers!

Hope you had an awesome weekend. We sure did! NOT!!

We ALL got hit with that flu bug going around and it’s still not over.  I have 4 kids staying home today.

Do you guys follow Maskara?

If you don’t you have been living in a hole! She is AMAZING!

Anyways, she posted this picture of some art in her office and I fell in love with it.

I wanted something similar for my twins room, so I came up with this.

I did it in gold, light pink and darker pink and cream. All I did was get some quarter-inch press board from home depot and got a yard stick and went around the board drawing lines in a star burst pattern.  Then I hand painted all the triangles in whatever color I felt like I wanted it to be. I didn’t paint every triangle; I skipped some so some of the wood would come through. Then I sanded it down a bit so it was a little muted and not so contrasting.

I really love how it turned out.  I know that sometimes I start a project and it turns out really crappy and I scrap the whole thing. Well, this one is a keeper!

Neighbor Gifts For Christmas

I hope you are all enjoying your Holiday season so far! I feel like it’s going by way to quickly and I need to slow down so I can enjoy it a little more!

Are you all needing some last-minute ideas for neighbor gifts?

Can I just tell you how much I LOVE neighbor gifts! I love all the treats that accumulate on the counter from your friends and the cute Christmas cards I get to hang on my wall for a little while. Now, the downside to that is that I have a hard time coming up with something to give back. I am not a baker and sometimes I get these great ideas to make some treats for everyone and they come out of the oven looking like poo! How can I give something that looks like that to other people!? So I try to stay away from making treats for everybody. Well, this year I came across potpourri. What is potpourri? Well its a mixture of ingredients that you let simmer in a pot or small crock pot to make your home smell wonderful! I knew this was something I could handle. I assembled small bags for friends that they just have to throw in a pot to make their homes smell like Christmas!
