attempted trash to treasure

I have a LOOONNNGGG list of blogs that I visit on a regular basis, and I am so so SOOO jealous of the all the talent out there. I am NOT one of the those people, which you are about to see proof of...but I SOOO desperately want to be one of "those people."

When I see other people finished product I always think to myself "I would never to think to put those papers/ribbons/colors together...so tonight while working I went against my gut and took a risk (for me) the old me would of done all one design, and then thrown it away. I love the idea I had, I just don't love the finished product, at all. Try, try again I shall!

My loving hubby made dinner tonight (chicken and soup) the soup came in this nice little box, and the husband even said "cool box, unnecessary for soup, but cool" and I said "ooo, gimme it! I'll Mod Podge it!"...then a conversation about what Mod Podge is followed.

The "cool but unnecessary box"
My attempt at being "one of those people"


I didn't make that tag either, I bought it from THIS great etsy store!

Itty Bitty trick or treat

I saw THIS absolutely adorable bag on Sister's Stuff, and ran out the next day to buy all the needed supplies. As luck would have it, Hobby Lobby was having 50% off sale on the bags, and Joann's had 50% off the Halloween fabric! While my little bags are NO WHERE near as awesome as the one they posted, I'm still happy with how they turned out. My kids are still pretty young, and won't be doing too much trick or treating this year, so I thought these itty bitty bags would fit just the right amount of candy. I only wish I was having a Halloween party for the kids I think these bags filled with a few of THESE would make great favors...but we already have more than enough Halloween parties to attend.
