DIY time

I have been on this major Do-it-Yourself craft kick thanks to my dear friend over at



So here are some pictures of my latest projects. The first one is my attempt at a fall tassel-this was so much fun to make.









As you know I am also doing a makeover in my laundry room (which I will post this weekend) and I had these old silver boxes that I stored pictures, cards, craft stuff, etc..... they needed a serious make over so out came the black paint, scrapbook paper, and trim...... here's the before








and after.............................






and speaking of black paint. I am now obsessed with anything and everything black. It is amazing what a little black spray paint will do. These next two pictures are my latest spray paint jobs. One is a basket I got at Marshalls for $5 - it was bright pink- it now holds my dryer sheets. The other is a wrought iron key I got at Hobby Lobby for $7. It was this ugly gold and rust color- get out that little can of spray paint and ta-da!!
