Black and White DIM (Did it Myself)
It all started here...my new obsession. I've been stalking craft blogs like it's my full-time job. Despite my limited abilities, my crafty mind has been inspired and is exploding with so many fun ideas!
Used to be a boring, crappy D&T corporate challenge shirt. The only thing on the t-shirt was a small Deloitte on the chest. (There was also a Special Olympics logo...which is pretty accurate of our CC performance). Messing up the instructions, I had to add a ribbon in the neck to hold it up...since I ignored the part about not cutting the shoulder seam, oops. Kins - sorry it's wrinkly, but I know you're going to look oh so adorable in it.
All over pintrest there are tutorials and pictures of DIY milk glass. I was skeptical that I would be able to find good vases to use, but after I dropped off some donations to Goodwill today, I browsed the "Housewares" section. I was surprised, I found what I was looking for, and spent $3, to get 3 vases and a votive holder (for the Mom's decorating needs).
+ $4 white gloss spray paint
= "Milk Glass"

After spray painting vases - I was buzzing with creative ideas. My first thought was just to continue the spray painting fun times for my sweet Khloe's penguin room. Then I found some old scrap book. I hear spray painting is the fastest growing addiction in America, so I had to remind myself to know when to stop. I also found a second use for a chip clip...this use was completely intentional, not just because I spotted it under my bed when I was holding the bow on her head waiting for it to dry. I also placed the chip clip under my bed for this exact need, not because sometimes after a hard day, I enjoy Cool Ranch Dorritos and my Bed....at the same time.

Another set up photo op for my craft blog.3 posts about babies, and now one about crafts...look for me in my Volvo station wagon wearing my mom jeans.
I am so impressed and delighted at your craftiness!! I have mom hair and love grocery stores, so, yeah, we're that age.
