Trolling GW again. I need to find a new 1, employees are starting to recognize me.

I went in to GW today looking for a frame. My idea was to make a memory frame for Zonyah's first time at the beach. So I needed a deep frame so I could include some of the seashells she picked up at the beach.

I walked out with:

1 Frame 2.99
1 Strange looking egg thingy that stinks like roach spray 2.99
2 Fabulous candle holders/They are HEAVY!  3.99 each. These things usually come in 3's... I wonder who took (purchased) the other one! :(

Everything is already either painted or redone.

The frame did not need paint but I did turn the mat around, I like the colors on it. There is a sandy color that is perfect for a beach photo!

The horizon was not "straight"... although I try my best to take "straight horizon" pictures when hanging out at the beach and just snapping pics of Zonyah at that point I really dont care how the horizon looks LOL. 

My OCD did Kick in and I "had" to skew the picture to straighten out the horizon... Ok now Im happy :)

This is how it looks in the back... (Don't worry about how the back of the picture looks... Noone looks in there!)

Next I brought out my trusty & beloved hot glue gun (use your imagination for this part cause I didnt snap any pics)...

Diddle Diddle Ding... Tuuu Tuuuuruuu Tu ruuuuu.....
2 minutes gone by yet?

OK!  Tadaaaaa! :)

So next I try to stick this baby back into the frame... Hault! We...? I have an issue *(actually I have many but thats another Blog =) )*

The shells sit too high and I cant properly secure the back... Do I care... Hmmm NOPE!

I didnt and probably will not take a pic of it, but there is clear tape holding the back into place. But who cares?! I told you noone looks back there!


PS. OCD should be called CDO. Thats OCD spelling for OCD :)

Awesome Name Print

I saw this on a Link Party at "HouseofHepworths" and I thought it was the cutest thing!
I got the idea from here.
"Full of Great Ideas"
Both of these blogs are awesome and "follow" worthy.

Here is a letter "S" I got from ... ? WTF was it... w/e Doesnt matter. I have the bag in the room & I'm too lazy to go get it now.

So anyways, this FUGLINESS was only $4.99

I wasnt too sure about what color combination I wanted to use so I resorted to my trusty Facebook friends for advice :)
They made the right decision!

As you can see I'm "working" on something else on the right. Gotta maximize "nap time"!!

I used my booger napkin to wipe off some of the freshly sprayed blue. (LOL, joke?)

I might beat it up a lil bit more tomorrow when I get my hands on some sand paper & my hammer... But for now,  I <3 it :)

The box...

A few days ago I painted the little ugly box I got at GW. 

I <3 the way it looks now! Its sitting on top of my desk & it houses my scissors, pens, some papers, and its a good place to put my cellphone while its charging.

This thing took around 5 coats! That ugly design just didnt wanna D-I-E!!!

Heres the before:

And the After:

Not too bad for having paid only $2.99
