HOME MADE CANDY JAR & BUTTERFLY FRAME

I'm a little obsessed with Pinterest lately thanks to my super fabulous friend DeeDee (thanks girlie).  I have found a few projects on there that I have re-created.  My first project is this candy jar:





The original project shows 3 jars (different sizes) and it was Halloween theme.  The letters "B""O""O" hung from the lid and the wood pieces were painted black.  You can see the original project HERE.  I will be making several of these for the teachers for Christmas and filling them with Peppermint candy.

Then last week, DeeDee posted a few projects made with paint chips from Home Depot.  Check out her blog HERE for inspiration.   What a brilliant idea.   I immediately went to Pinterest and was inspired by THIS butterfly project.   While I was at Walmart picking up some easels on Sunday, I stopped in the paint dept.   Kasi and I chose colors to match her room....hot pink, orange, green and turquoise.  I love the way the colors go from light to dark.   The frame is also from Walmart.  Now I leave you with a couple pictures.

If you haven't checked out Pinterest, YOU HAVE TO!!!  It's awesome.....and very addictive- hee hee!!!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week!!

Hugs, T




This is the frame on the shelf with the 3 Donna Downey autographed artwork and the matching toss pillow on her bed.  The toss pillow was the inspiration behind the colors in her room:
