Old Baking Pan

 

I found this Old Baking Pan at Smith and Edwards and decided to make it into a wall hanging.

It was pretty rusty and dirty when I found it so I cleaned it good with steel wool and spray painted it brown.

The rest is just scrapbook paper modge podged on the squares!



Fabric Storage

Another FUN day at Smith and Edwards!! I saw this wonderful box there last weekend but didn't have a truck to hall it home in. So thanks so my sweet and patient husband I was able to bring it home yesterday ( along with some other wonderful finds! ) This storage box looked like it was used to organize screws, bolts, and other small parts and pieces. It was made to lay flat on the ground but I like the cupboard look and it doesn't take up as much room in my craft area. I like the look of the rustic worn wood so I just painted lightly over the rough wood with a paint brush and small amounts of paint. Now I have a new storage cupboard for my Fabric! Low cost and easy to clean up........Those are my favorite finds!

Old Metal Drawer

 

You never know what you'll find when digging in the junk yard at Smith and Edwards.

I found this cute blue metal drawer and hung it in my bathroom as a shelf. Now I want more drawers!!

The possibilities are endless!

Paper Flowers

 

These Paper Flowers are so much fun to make! You just cut them out on the cricut , roll and bend them the way you want and look what you get! I also used a ink pad to make them look vintage. I glued them together with a strong jewelry glue and put the wire through the middle while the glue was still wet. The stand is an insulator that I found at Smith and Edwards in the junk yard. I love that place!! Tie ribbon around it and there you go! A simple ( and affordable ) gift for anyone or decoration for yourself!

Halloween Gifts

 

A friend of mine found these great glass bottles for me at Smith and Edwards! Only .99 cents each!

I needed a couple Thank You Gifts so I filled them with Hot Chocolate and decorated them so they could be used as a Halloween Decoration too!
