Heart in the Clouds ♥

Hey look! Here is the blue canvas! :) 

I saw this online (don't remember where) (( I will try to find it again))

But when I saw it I thought of my friend Melissa! Just a few days ago at lunch she was telling me all about this quote and how much she loves it. So how could I not attempt to make this for her?!

I started off by doing 2 coats of the navy blue background on a white canvas and then after that dried (a few days later..) I used a white paint pen to write everything out and did 2 coats as well with the paint pen. 

QUICK REVIEW: the white paint pen is amazing! I bought it from Meijers just for this project and I am so excited to go out and purchase more colors because I absolutely fell in love with it! It came out so smooth, the color is strong, and it was so much easier to write with a paint pen vs a paint brush (which I am terrible at doing by the way!) 

I am fairly happy with how this turned out and I think she is going to love it! It is a little off-centered but that's part of homemade gifts... their never perfect to everyone's eye but they are perfect to the heart. <3 

Wow. Corny but true ;) 

After I gave it to her, she sent me a picture of it hanging in her room, which  made me even happier, because I was glad that she liked it!

The love of painting!

Today I had a little bit of down time. So I prepped a few crafts. I painted some plaques silver, I painted a canvas blue. I painted some glass bottles  red, pink, teal and brown. And i painted a recycled can white. 

I was prepping the first few coats of these so their ready for completion! :) 

I have so many fun ideas but my schedule is about to get really busy with school for a little while. 

Keep an eye out! :)

I love Halloween Make-up!

 

Around this time of year, I am always checking out all the fun Halloween make-up that is on the shelves at CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite Aide, and anywhere else I go! I love all of the fun colors! This year I found colored mascara! How fun are these!? I have opened them and tried each one, AMAZING! I have never seen this brand before, but I didn't have any reactions to it, other than I l love it!  I am so excited to use these fun colors all throughout the year!

What a Hoot!

 Over the past few months, everywhere I go there are owls. Well, I have become obsessed with them! (almost as much as sock monkeys!)

almost. ;)

I saw this wine opener at CVS today, and I couldn't help but buy it! We aren't exactly huge wine drinkers in this house, but hey, at least we will have an adorable can opener to open the bottles with! haha. wow. how lame does that sound! Hey its still cute.
