Music Shelf

265268270

This is an old shelf I had lying around and no longer needed.  My sister in law & I are working on redecorating her room.  It will be a musical themed room.  I can’t wait to share the finished room.  This was the first step.  She painted a cream base coat then we ripped up musical paper and Mod Podged it on their.  She did an awesome job and it looks so beautiful in her room.

Shabby Salvage

001

I have always had an infatuation for vintage furniture or anything vintage for that matter.  I have recently been working on quite a few projects and wanted to share one that I finished a while back.  This bookshelf was once a worn brown.  Sorry I don’t have a before picture.  It currently sits in my room.  It was a yard sale find.  Can’t wait to share more.

Skateboard Cake

 

006

My husband and I made this for our sons birthday party.  It was a combined birthday party with the neighbor.  They were born on the same day 10 hours apart.  No wonder they are so much alike.  They are both really into skating and were stoked to have a cake to represent it.  My writing was a bit goofy but I’ve seen much worse.  I used a new recipe for the cake itself.  It was out of this world!  We used Satin Ice Vanilla Buttercream fondant…great stuff!  We have recently found a great source for all our cake and baking supplies.  What do you think?

Don't Put Off Your Creativity

Upon reading my emails this morning, I came across something that was just for ME.  I'm sharing because I know there are so many people out there that feel the same way... This was sent to me by @BellePirri

Creatively avoiding your creative urges

In the latest post on Creative Spiritual Women I ask, what are you putting off creating because it feels too big for you?
What great idea do you have that you haven't done anything with?
What are you inspired to do that you're ignoring, because you feel like you're not the right person for the job?
You are.
Just start. You'll find all the resources, energy, and guidance you need.
I promise.

I really enjoyed this post, it hit home for me.  My hubby tells me all the time that I just need to create.  He sees what I do.  I will have a great idea and for whatever reason, it won't get done.   It will sit on a TO DO list forever.  I also keep an idea journal.  When I'm really feeling creative I love to go back and check out ideas that I'd completely forgotten about.  My hubby suggested I start writing down every idea that I've ever had.  In the beginning I was on overload.  I had to keep that thing at my bedside.  It has proven to be an awesome tool for me.
