Fess Up Friday and Shutterfly Photo Book Giveaway

When my 4 year old daughter came down the stairs with my iPhone in hand exclaiming, “I take pictures mommy!”  I didn’t realize that what she meant is she took nearly 100 photos of herself and the occasional wall shot. 

Even though it took me forever deleting one at a time (I am still figuring out how to do the multiple deleting)  and I told her she is NOT allowed to take pictures on my phone (let alone go take my phone up the stairs to her room)  I had to laugh at the discovered photos I saw.

I suppose I’m going to have to work on her vanity……or maybe just stop taking 1000 photos of her myself. (Do you see those pouty lip shots!) 


On to my next story.

When you do have a child that lean towards the “girly girl” side of life, I shouldn’t have been surprised when having given her a little bag of very light colored makeup (just my old rejects) she came down early the next morning clinging to her new “make-up” pouch wearing her pretty pink lipstick.  I think she slept with that pouch.  Here are some 7am “pretty shots” of my girly girl.

Talking about cute PHOTOS Shutterfly has offered to give one of my readers a free 20 page 8x8 hardcover photo book! (you do pay for shipping and he said it was between $5-8 depending where you are located)

I have used them for creating a quick "brag" book for my mother in law of all her grandchildren.  They have templates that you can just insert your digital photo. (very easy!)  If you are a scrapbooker and want to just insert your digital pages you can do that too. (that's what I plan to do!)

They also make amazing Christmas Photo Cards and Photo Gifts like computer mousepads which I have also made for family members.

All you need to do is leave me a comment with your email so I can contact you if you win!
Bonus Entry (new comment) is if you decide follow me (any of the ways) or if you already do, just let me know.

(Giveway ends Tuesday September 6th)

Make Large Canvas Wall Art Out of An Old Map

Image
One of my favorite things about thrift store decorating is finding something unexpected and giving it a new life. When I came across an old vintage map, I immediately saw the potential for unique wall art. Instead of leaving it tucked away, I cut it into sections and mounted it onto canvases to create a custom piece full of character and history. If you love decorating with vintage finds and creating budget-friendly home decor, this simple DIY project might inspire your next thrift store makeover. I had previously picked up an old slightly laminated MAP from the same thrift store for a few dollars. I began to wonder what I could do with my map???? Tick tock, tick tock, my creative juices were coming……. Ah Ha!  My son needed something on his wall in his room and since that is where I put the globe how about matching wall art!  I went to Michaels and picked up a bunch of canvases at 40% off.  I traced around the canvas and cut out each rectangle.  The ov...

Pottery Barn Knockoff–Distressed Clock Decor

Image
Ahhhhhh Pottery Barn.  The gorgeous pictures, the GIANT price tags.  If only we could re-create for less everything we see in that magazine.  Well today’s post will give that a try  – Pottery Barn for under $10.00.  Yep, that’s right, this next project cost me around 6 bucks.  When I was at the thrift store I spotted this lonely round board.  It was almost 2 feet around, insanely heavy and covered in laminate but I thought hummmm……this has some CLOCK potential!  So I bought it for a whopping $1.50. Here is the lovely BEFORE picture: And here is the AFTER: Now how I got there.  :-) First I distressed the plastic and wood by sawing the edges, hammering the center, and quickly sanding the entire circle.  I didn’t spend a lot of time doing this because I had another idea to help with the distressing which you’ll see in the next few steps. Next step was to figure out the best way for me to put on the Roman Numer...
