I'm sorry I don't have anything original to share. I'm too busy copying everyone else's ideas! It sure has been fun! I have been using products I never would have known about had it not been for blogs and Pinterest tutorials. For example, I sprayed these bottles from Danny and Natasha's wedding with chalk board paint which I copied from here.
For another copycat project, I bought a paint marker and wrote the Tom Jones song (My Mother's Eyes) Danny and I danced to at his wedding on a dollar plate.
I baked it for 40 minutes as directed by the paint marker instructions. I got the idea here.
I couldn't wait for Ashleigh to come over. I knew she would want to write on a plate too. She decided to write a song that is special to her and her boyfriend around the edge in a circle. I had wondered how that would look. I like this way too.
So here we have mother and daughter plates using two different writing techniques.
Then I made a snow globe. I have wanted to do this for a long time.
There are lots of places on the web to find ideas for this quick project. I always loved the Martha Stewart ones and I liked the idea of the waterless snow globe. Michelle really inspired me here.
I love my deer and tree snow globe.
Three projects accomplished!
Have you copied anything from Pinterest? That's a joke! haha
Oh, my gosh--great projects! I've totally wanted to do the plate since I saw it on Eclectically Vintage too. I love how you did two of them in different directions. So great! Your snow globes are adorable and I'm wondering about getting myself a glass block too! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been extremely busy! I don't know which I like best the plates or the chalk sprayed bottles...both are extremely nice. I'm sure the plates will make very lovely gifts. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these ideas, so they're new to me. Thanks so much for sharing! All great ideas, and I love your handwriting, too.

Those are simply adorable Patty. I am loving the chalkboard bottles too. Thanks for sharing with our party.
ReplyDeleteIf I spend the next month doing nothing but my Christmas pins, I couldn't get through them all. So much inspiration!
ReplyDeletePatty, I love your snow globes and also the plate - very cool!
ReplyDeleteI do that, too! There's just many great ideas out there! This past week at Hobby Lobby, I finally remembered to buy one of those pens to write on some plates to make my own custom ones! Thanks for the visit today, be sure and come back soon!
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects Patty! You have been quite busy. I don't know which ones I like better the snow globes or the plates. Both would make great Christmas gifts.
