Handmade paper

Hubby and I learned to make handmade paper this past summer.  Here are a few pictures.  I'm feeling a tutorial coming on.  So fun and easy!

Country Wedding

My niece got married this past October.  I was asked to work on wedding shower ideas and the wedding arch.  This is what I came up with.

A fun gift for the bride and groom

And we used it so that everyone would know they were at the right house

Then I used the same milk jugs from the shower as decor for the wedding arch.  Here is the up close view.

And the arch.  I created the top piece as well.

Chalk Painted Mirrors

Even though I have been MIA from blogging this past year, I have been crafting and trying out lots of new things.  This is one of those things.  I have fallen in love with chalk paint and now I just want to paint EVERYTHING!  Here are two mirrors I did.  I just love the results.

 Mirror before, ok, slightly after, I got a hold of it! I was so excited to start that I forgot to take the before photo. 

And After

And After!

Super fun and super easy with gorgeous results!
