some craft time

Started off the day and took Avery to school. I had picked up some frames and such at a thrift store a couple weeks ago and have been wanting to paint them and get some pictures made to in them and hang them around the house. I love doing things like this. It's very relaxing and let's me be creative. There were 2 frames and a unique little mirror. Also I had gotten a sign that used to.say welcome in the heart . With a cute cow on top. Perfect for my parents to put on their mailbox. So I painted it too :) 

Here is the cute little unique mirror.

My girls wanted to have some craft time too. They love to paint and be crafty just like momma ! And I love love to have some craft time with them :) 

Here is me with the sander. After I painted the frames with I used this to sand some of the edges and and all around to make it shabby chic looking.

These are the frames after I painted them white before sanding.

Here they are after sanding. See Shabby chic right?? I love how they turned out.

One of the frames I painted lime green to put in the girls bathroom. I thought after I painted it... how cute.would it be if it was glittery... so I went into my craft supplies and found lime green glitter and 1st put in the the paint and that didn't work. You couldn't see the glitter at all it just made it grainy looking. So I painted it again and just sprinkled the glitter all over the frame. And it turned out so stinken cute.

Close up of the glitter. 

It will look so adorable in the girls bathroom. Will take a pic when I hang it up :)

And here is my parents new sign for their house. They have farm animals now (something my dad has always wanted)

So this sign was perfect for them.

And so we are trying to think of a cute name for their ranch \ farm. And I would like to Come up with a name for ours too. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them :)

Hopefully I can start doing some more crafty things like this more often.

I hope the rest of your week if filled with lots of laughs, sweet hugs, and many blessings.
