Jewelry Box Makeover

Today I decided to spend the day being creative by giving my childhood jewelry box a new, adult makeover.

This is what it looked like before ...

And here it is after a coat of paint.

I am really pleased with the color! The paint I used is a Valspar Color Sampler from Lowe's. - I think it is perfect for little projects like this one! 

"La Fonda Mindoro" is the color I used.

Too nice to be a bird house!

About a week ago I started a little project for myself. It involved a beat up bird house and my creative side wanting to run riot.

This is what it looked like before......

And here it is once I was finished ......

I enjoy being creative. It allows me to put my heart into something and see the results from it. I just wish this little bird house was bigger ..or I was smaller ..I would love to live in a house like this!

My Love for Scrapbooking

Being creative is what I enjoy more than anything. I'm perfectly happy being left alone doing things like taking pictures, blogging, and scrapbooking. One of the reasons why I enjoy scrapbooking so much is because you can "Show Yourself" through the things you make. Personalizing something with your own touch makes it all that more special. It's "You" and no one else.

One of my favorite things I own is this big red bag full of scrapbook papers, stickers, ribbons, etc! I love spending hours creating stuff.

Everything I made so far has a special reason for it. - Like the one with pictures of Twix all over it.
