Today I have a few November-y projects to share.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
First up is my Give Thanks board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the same frame for the Give Thanks board that I had used for the 49er's board,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I made back in Feb. of 2013.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually I used it at a bridal shower this past summer too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sign was cute but the quality of the photograph was lousy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can see I have made good use of this baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a few coats of acrylic craft paint and I have a new frame to play with! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It makes a cute prop at a gathering.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally I was looking for a short thanksgiving phrase to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a BIG graphic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I came across this ditty from Ralph Waldo Emerson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course it was perfect, <i>and</i> a bit longer than I had planned on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlyqmfcQWhFL5BjbdPpXZrlbnNvjmWBl0QfMjAxVn5NOsgg_sGwecTr9oMXVxaDo8oqgJLfI8z0mT-BYBUivL0Nujdtta5VG8w8VfFmj-SYAOv6LC71CcGjtgpGBv64iY0PRsY9oBlpSo/s1600/AGT056.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWlyqmfcQWhFL5BjbdPpXZrlbnNvjmWBl0QfMjAxVn5NOsgg_sGwecTr9oMXVxaDo8oqgJLfI8z0mT-BYBUivL0Nujdtta5VG8w8VfFmj-SYAOv6LC71CcGjtgpGBv64iY0PRsY9oBlpSo/s1600/AGT056.jpg" height="426" width="640" /> </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had <u>intended</u> on stenciling my short phrase and BIG graphic with white paint to get a cool chalkboard art look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like I did for the 49er sign above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ugh I didn't want to cut a long phrase stencil and I didn't want to stencil a loooong phrase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Gee do I sound ungrateful or what???</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my first solution was the easy solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's just print the phrase... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRz69rx7GLaBBXkXPQBQqfoww8GmR8gunjcr99p1GfWYVwri3cDVyUZBGhdnMBUGK0xLBhvh1KHvOFYxIyvvhaldqVq1wYdO4jcLdF9s6LZxx_8mGgwOQ2LnuXiUlLwgc_fZ3pCmwP_M7_/s1600/AGTI048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRz69rx7GLaBBXkXPQBQqfoww8GmR8gunjcr99p1GfWYVwri3cDVyUZBGhdnMBUGK0xLBhvh1KHvOFYxIyvvhaldqVq1wYdO4jcLdF9s6LZxx_8mGgwOQ2LnuXiUlLwgc_fZ3pCmwP_M7_/s1600/AGTI048.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here was my clever idea.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This did not work for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes my cleverness just doesn't translate to paper...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It might make a nice card though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB1yETFxV0P2x-XvCy8vKe1fLwmMQ1uG6NoIojl_MyuK9kBPDJKbfOnDtwc7BQhrFewioDXIXD-33WicU5E7Grvo4eMs7_BCTcxYKo6v6nd5SLLhtkV9A-HedQ1JOTMXyXSYkgX3GBIhHt/s1600/AGTI022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB1yETFxV0P2x-XvCy8vKe1fLwmMQ1uG6NoIojl_MyuK9kBPDJKbfOnDtwc7BQhrFewioDXIXD-33WicU5E7Grvo4eMs7_BCTcxYKo6v6nd5SLLhtkV9A-HedQ1JOTMXyXSYkgX3GBIhHt/s1600/AGTI022.jpg" height="640" width="504" />I</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I knew to get the look I wanted,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was either stenciling </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or cutting vinyl letters with my Silhouette Cameo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Out came the vinyl...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZinbF-f5x6dnLBy91HcdpjenZ5ea1dAFDIClY-btV1jSKXJBb-JrlFeQj8JlPMvD0kfvTOckg1llvdCaLyX4VdMotIK7-t0TMIiCBMHk2LuYIdyUb7yexP6bXYkz9SOpgCDWRGeWcUsoz/s1600/AGT057.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZinbF-f5x6dnLBy91HcdpjenZ5ea1dAFDIClY-btV1jSKXJBb-JrlFeQj8JlPMvD0kfvTOckg1llvdCaLyX4VdMotIK7-t0TMIiCBMHk2LuYIdyUb7yexP6bXYkz9SOpgCDWRGeWcUsoz/s1600/AGT057.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It did take a whole afternoon to do the board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to line everything up can drive you crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My other project is this cute pumpkin below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to add some MacKenzie - Childs flair to this rusty old girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Black and white checks dress up just about anything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Add a bit of gold and you're done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just did my usual MO, I painted the pumpkin white.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I marked off where I wanted the black squares and painted them black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I painted the stem and leaf gold.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I used acrylic paint from the craft store on the pumpkin and frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEGx0YjgTfAg-6RyUNxGFjgxV-Ah6WGoOO69MXbi6TgWt6lLHrD-qmB-ZVSb8XnFUNz6Iwo0N81pl8gVE3snDbMnUjJOWv1bit2RqO7UBB5llvJibqyYaY0uZcq4vxydK05TxEXRkm_xA/s1600/AGTI035.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtEGx0YjgTfAg-6RyUNxGFjgxV-Ah6WGoOO69MXbi6TgWt6lLHrD-qmB-ZVSb8XnFUNz6Iwo0N81pl8gVE3snDbMnUjJOWv1bit2RqO7UBB5llvJibqyYaY0uZcq4vxydK05TxEXRkm_xA/s1600/AGTI035.jpg" height="640" width="448" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I basically did the same thing with the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I painted the frame white over the red I had painted it for the 49er's board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It took about three coats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's best to let the paint dry completely between coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I brushed watered down black paint all over the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I wiped the black off with a wet paper towel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I did the same thing with watered down or thinned brown paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I painted the black on twice to get the look I wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hit or miss with me and crafting.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I like the white washed look of the frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks good with the chalkboard background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which isn't really a chalkboard, it's black poster board.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I rubbed some chalk on the poster board to give it a "seasoned" look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I just stuck the vinyl letters on the poster board. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These pumpkins are obviously inspired by Mackenzie - Childs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mean if you are going to be inspired you might as well be inspired by the best! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As much as I love how these faux pumpkins look outdoors, I knew they needed a nice home indoors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went to Costco to get a free box...to paint like a boot tray I saw in the MC catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously you <i>had</i> to know that was coming!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0gVz2I_ZKPrNm6YzUsWJxNkrSXOjt9V5Fqxkt6ae8im-r962JAxfUHaPAP1RbdLZKlXl_mHnDZSvXgc8UKuzfATaqkl6exytxjmGstM54_h8kMlLuDr33MYsggXe8TYYQqvvfUbKygWJ/s1600/AAA015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inspired by Mackenzie - Childs Pumpkins" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA0gVz2I_ZKPrNm6YzUsWJxNkrSXOjt9V5Fqxkt6ae8im-r962JAxfUHaPAP1RbdLZKlXl_mHnDZSvXgc8UKuzfATaqkl6exytxjmGstM54_h8kMlLuDr33MYsggXe8TYYQqvvfUbKygWJ/s1600/AAA015.jpg" height="426" title="DIY Black & White Checkered Pumpkins" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The box I made was inspired by the Mackenzie - Childs boot tray, which sells for $495.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I am sure it is worth every penny, I just felt $495 was maybe a bit much for a pumpkin display.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband thought the same thing, no arguments he totally agreed with me on this!</div>

There might have been some talk about <i>who</i> puts boots on a $495 tray?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sure some of you are thinking <i>who</i> paints a Costco box to look like a $495 boot tray.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah we talked about that too..</div>

Just to make my box unique I added the word pumpkin, spelled in French no less, with some gold paper letters I cut with the Silhouette Cameo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am <b><i>betting</i></b> it's the only box of its kind here in Nevada. </div>

Pun intended.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a quick tutorial on how I painted these beauties.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut a paper square (1 1/4 inch) and traced around it on the fake pumpkin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I marked the squares that I wanted to paint black with an X.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I painted them black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let them dry for a few hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I watered down (thinned) some gold metallic acrylic paint and brushed it all over the pumpkin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Same idea for the "boot tray" except I had to paint the box white first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which took about four coats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It works best if you let the paint dry between coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At first I just painted a gold stripe on the bottom edge of the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ugh that wasn't going to work.<br />
Off to the home center for some edging I went. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the wood trim really finishes the box off. It almost hides the fact that it's really a Costco box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I said <i>almost </i>not totally<i>!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Total cost of this project $13.95 plus tax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wood trim was the only thing I purchased.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the <a href="http://www.mackenzie-childs.com/shop.axd/ProductDetails?edp_no=19675&refid=sli#.VEmmbxaKW4o" target="_blank">MC boot tray</a> is $495, the <a href="http://home.mackenzie-childs.com/search?w=courtly%20check%20pumpkins" target="_blank">pumpkins</a> are $50 for an 8" pumpkin <i>(I have 2)</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and $100 for the 9" pumpkin. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'd say this was a cost effective project!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Do you like the movie Nightmare Before Christmas?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe it was released 21 years ago? <i>Yes 21 years ago!</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an amazing movie, the story and the artistry involved are incredible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This mesh wreath was inspired by this fun movie.</div>

It might look like a lot of work went into this wreath but really it was pretty easy.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The mesh wreaths go together quickly, then you just need to add some decos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used white Christmas ornament balls, black vinyl and my Silhouette Cameo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stuck a bunch of black vinyl squares onto the balls. The vinyl sticks to the balls but is still re-positional. I tried to checkerboard the balls but if you look close they are not perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Jacks face I cut black vinyl oval shaped eyes and I painted his mouth on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drew his mouth with a pencil first, then painted it.</div>

Below is a picture of my friend Andi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She started this whole mesh wreath marathon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Somehow everyone else just made one wreath, not sure how I ended up making <i>five</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am pretty sure somehow it's Andi's fault. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe she just really inspires me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe I just don't have any self control??? </div>

Today I want to share some chalkboards I did for a wedding this summer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how they turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More importantly the bride and groom did too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut vinyl letters with my Silhouette Cameo and stuck them on the chalkboards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would love to do "real" chalkboard art but I have to come to realize that chalkboard art is a "real art" Sometimes I feel like being a crafter not an artist....and just using the Silhouette Cameo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone liked the boards and the vinyl letters peel right off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had put the bride and grooms initials in the hearts above but I peeled them off and tossed them before I realized I hadn't taken a picture of the boards yet..oops.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blogger brain fart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't get a picture of the boards at the ceremony either....</div>

I am guessing they were built in the 1950's, I can't find any info on them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked an eatery that does <i>not</i> serve food to you in your truck thru a window.</div>

Have you ever heard the joke that the only person who enjoys a wedding is the bride?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know know, terrible joke and in the case of this wedding <b>totally</b> untrue! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our neighbors daughter let me "Pinterest" her wedding this summer so I am absolutely <b>positive</b> I enjoyed this wedding just as much as the bride <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><i>(and everyone else)</i></span> did!</div>

Next up is the menu "window" I made. I die cut vinyl letters with my Silhouette Cameo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun to pick out all the different fonts, I love the way this turned out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The brides SIL came up with this great idea, and the window!</div>

This wheelbarrow has been in my husbands family for decades... probably longer than my husband has been around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was my father in laws and he gave it to us many many many moons ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am positive that I am the first person in the family to plant flowers in this wheelbarrow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's all Pinterest's fault! You see these great ideas, next thing you know you are doing them!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A wedding for her, a Pinterest fantasy for me!</div>

Stephanie picked purple and gray for her color scheme. A nice elegant mix of colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a lot of tissue globes, they add such a festive vibe to any party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pinwheels made from scrapbook papers put a smile on everyone's face. Just pop them in a jar with some burlap and ribbon and they make a bouquet! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stephanie has a Pinterest board of quotes that she loves, so I printed and framed a few quotes for the shower.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Amy put different spices in each of the containers below, with a bit of tulle on top. Then we passed them around and tried to guess them. Lots of spicy conversation followed!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A great place to store some cards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go ahead run over to the greeting card aisle at your favorite store and pick up a selection of cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get cards for all occasions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's OK to be prepared.</div>

Here is a shocker</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a card maker...I confess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can quickly whip up a personalized card for pretty much any occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I love to send funny cards to people too, so I buy cards all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Card humor is an art in itself.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They didn't make theirs with a cereal box though </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just <b>assumed</b> they did, and made mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I read the instructions and <i>well</i> there is actually a box you can buy and just cover with paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now you have the option of buying one or making one.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I made paper flowers for two of the boxes and used leaves from some silk flowers that I had.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
You could use silk flowers too, just glue gun them on!</div>

Pop a button in the middle of the paper flowers for a cute center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use a dot of hot glue to anchor the buttons.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is a real bare bones picture tutorial:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will need a cereal box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxWrFyqz8d7LRgnMKJ1W6754AA31pHGq0s9D6s6KS51DIDsYH2ScdSjACrsLFi4zyH71eTONhSPOF-P_s1xqP8pK73ir0v6WW_RlixoJ7KxkJ57RUDMHcu0cU7FGEuqqte5ylbWaUDoiHD/s1600/ACH001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tutorial" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxWrFyqz8d7LRgnMKJ1W6754AA31pHGq0s9D6s6KS51DIDsYH2ScdSjACrsLFi4zyH71eTONhSPOF-P_s1xqP8pK73ir0v6WW_RlixoJ7KxkJ57RUDMHcu0cU7FGEuqqte5ylbWaUDoiHD/s1600/ACH001.jpg" height="426" title="DIY Greeting Card Storage" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just laid my ruler straight across the top of the box, then I drew a line around the whole box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzI9czwMp2RdWn0WdLFZA58rZKrSWh_9RkwrtvsFS9DeHtZad3jqv4SCENVN9DcfQq2kjsrAZcz4aqHFzlzAyUpHO0qd4IMv1HIdzaCCB0MWe32FutK3GZDdlxZLEIUU9o_AYLEAMSzui/s1600/ACH003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Tutorial" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSzI9czwMp2RdWn0WdLFZA58rZKrSWh_9RkwrtvsFS9DeHtZad3jqv4SCENVN9DcfQq2kjsrAZcz4aqHFzlzAyUpHO0qd4IMv1HIdzaCCB0MWe32FutK3GZDdlxZLEIUU9o_AYLEAMSzui/s1600/ACH003.jpg" height="426" title="DIY Greeting Card Storage" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I cut around the whole box on the line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want the box to tall, I wanted it more like a standing paper file.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I measured and drew a line four inches from the top of the box, all the way across the front of the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I drew an angled line on each side of the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut on the green lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is what you should have at this point.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I covered the box in black paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can use ANY color paper you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did black because of the color scheme I was using.</div>

I think these would be a great teacher appreciation gift or a unique gift for a graduate, just fill it with some greeting cards and throw in some postage stamps too.</div>

And you know with Mother's Day soon, a Mom might like one too... </div>

I knew my crown needed to be seen, so I decided to make a royal spring centerpiece.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When Pookie (my sister) gave me the crown it was a chippy blue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed my crown to be a noticeable bright chippy white, so I painted it.</div>

As much as I liked the way this looked, my husband said he would prefer for us to eat our eggs rather than display them in a royal centerpiece.</div>

Paula is so clever adding the garden tools. She punched the bees out of black paper and glued them onto the bright yellow garden trowel and the eggs. It's all in the details.</div>

Since I don't have any little tykes around for Easter, I felt it was OK to go with a more mature Easter egg design this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was my turn to pick the colors! Although I do have to say, my boys would have been perfectly happy to paint their Easter eggs black.....I vaguely remember a camouflage colored egg or two. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't dug out my Easter decorations, so these little eggs don't have a basket yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Are you reading my mind???? Do you think there is a MC basket project waiting to be created???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Probably......</div>

In the photo below you can see that I did have these little sour cream containers, yes I said sour cream containers, already decorated for Easter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just painted them white. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using black paper I cut out the word Easter and a flourish on the Silhouette Cameo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glued them to the container.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I dry brushed some white paint over the letters and the flourish.</div>

Today was Terrarium Tuesday!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my friend Andi had a few of us over for lunch <i>and</i> to make terrariums today! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She made a yummy Chinese Chicken Salad for us. You know it's tasty when everyone has seconds!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andi invited us a few weeks ago so we all had plenty of time to gather our terrarium ingredients. It was fun to see what we each "brought to the table" for the project.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes these are funky cell phone photos, they are all I have</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Andi picked up a super <a href="http://www.worldmarket.com/product/round+glass+and+cement+terrarium.do?&from=fn" target="_blank">cool glass bowl</a> at World Market to use for her terrarium. It has a concrete base.....darn it I didn't get a good picture to show the base of her bowl. The picture below is Andi's terrarium. She made great use of all her goodies!!</div>

Next (in the photo below) is Darby's terrarium. She has had her terrarium container for awhile. I <i>really</i> wanted Darby's container after I saw it. Isn't this great??</div>

In the photo below is Paula's planter. She had picked out a terrarium container similar to Darby's to use. Then as she was backing out of her garage to come to Andi's she spotted this cool vintage teapot a friend had given her years ago, and inspiration struck!! So her terrarium became a container. We all love how unique it is!!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey I just noticed that you can see the concrete base of Andi's container in the upper right corner of the picture below!!</div>

Lastly in the photo below is my "terrarium." The idea to use a birdcage was inspired by a picture my sister sent me. I love the way it turned out!!!</div>
