Happy Anniversary

Leave of Absence...

Sorry I've been away for a while.  I have been dealing with the natures of life... But I'll be back soon!

In the mean time I had a Wedding Anniversary on August 26, 2011.  My husband and I took some time just for ourselves!  Here are a few pics of our wedding day!

I Love Thrifting Event Success

The event was great across the country.   Here are 2 thrifters that just left a yard sale and still looking for great deals.  Now they are my type of girls!  This is what they had to say!

Patrice shopping at the Goodwill in Chattanooga also found a great bargain! 

 I had a great time and met some great people.  Surely can't wait for the next one.

$2.50 Sunburst Mirror

Hi there!  Today I want to talk about decorating your walls expensively!! Yeaa

Ok so.. In our Atlanta Studio I have draped the walls with fabric, applied modern stainless steel panels, and adhesive stencils to the wall.

Here at our family home in Chattanooga I have recently added starburst mirrors, painted stripes and wall ledges.

 Materials (many I already had)
-------------------------------------------------------------
$.97 bamboo sticks (walmart)
$1 mirror (dollar tree)
$1 styrofoam (dollar tree 2na pack!)
$1 smaller mirrors (optional purchased from Joanns)
glue gun n sticks
spray paint

So first off I want to talk about how I created this purty sunburst mirrors.  I found the inspiration from DollarStoreCrafts.com.

The first mirror here was made for $2.50.. Woot!
(For this mirror I only had to buy the skewers, mirror and styrofoam)

Now this is very easy to make that a caveman can do it..ha

1.  Arrange skewers around the circle styrofoam.  ( I just pushed them right thru...hint u might want to hot glue them if you want)
2.  Then spray paint
3.  Glue mirror to styrofoam
4.  Finally, hang it!

Complete 
Just add paint!

SEE!!!

To hang:

Hammer a small name into the wall, then push the sunburst mirror onto it.  It's just that easy..Now if you add the smaller mirrors: just glue them onto the sticks in your desired order. 

This mirror was made the same as the first I only purchased purple spray paint and additional smaller mirrors.
