This is what I came up with I LOVE IT!!!!IMG_0158_1837

I bought this clock at goodwill for $1 It was oak with gold trim (Perfectly ready to be updated, in my opinion) I printed out the game in the correct size and turned it into a clock. How cool is that?

Cuppie Doll
So while my husband was watching a movie I took some of my leftover supplies and made my own doll for display. No extra cost,  this is a doll I picked up at goodwill several years ago she has been part of many photo shoots so I was happy to find a use for her again.

Go the the scrapshoppe blog to learn how to make these cute banners

My Tip:
If you do not want a permanent indent of your letters take the chalk and put it on its side over the whole project then erase the chalk, (as seen above)  Also, when you are painting your chalkboard paint.  First paint it horizontal then paint your second coat vertical.

First Day of Valentines

In the spirit of Romance I thought I would share some ideas for the 14 days of Valentines. Have Fun!!

Day 1

IMG_0095_1661

“The Good Wife” I am starting to think that I have it all wrong.  In 2011 Traditional Marriage is frowned upon and Divorce is at an all time high. When A friend of mine got engaged I found this supposed news article from 1955 I thought it was hilarious but I could not help but wonder if we got a little old fashioned maybe our marriage divorce rate might improve.

(Of course I am not condoning a man staying out all night long with out explanation LOL)Smileimage

With the spirit of the 50’s I thought what a perfect theme for a Small Intimate get together with  a few friends to celebrate my friends marriage. I found these amazing sexy “pin ups” from the 1940s and 1950s I love them. I think we have lost the idea of what Sexy is because these Pictures are hot!
