$ Store Remakes...

Hello & Happy Tuesday Everyone!
How was your weekend? Mine was Awesome!
WHY??? You Ask... Well...
 My middle son Juston whose a Marine
 finally came home for good! We were so excited
to pick him up at the airport and bring him home!


Here he is... a Civilian once again and
being nice so his Mom could take his picture!

I've had little time for crafting lately since
so much is happening/Changing in my life...
Nothing bad mind you.. just stressful and
I worry a lot so that doesn't help me... :)

But I've been watching Youtube videos -
Can you say TROUBLE!! Cuz I think I found
myself in trouble, doing another craft hobby!

Redoing items from the Dollar Tree! Yup.. You read that right!
I've been amazed but some of the videos I've been
watching that I thought I would try it myself -
Which has now got me going into 4 different Dollar Trees
on any given day before or after work! LOL

So.... Let me share one of my remakes I did
find time to do -


Aren't they wonderful??? I LOVE Fall, so I had to make something
fun to hang on the wall - I made 2 of them, so I could send one to a friend of mine -

Okay... So I only purchased the Cutting boards from
the Dollar Tree - They looked like this --


I painted them with Spray paint that I had on hand
Then found the Pumpkin Spice Print on Google Search
and printed them out... I did resize them to fit my boards -
Then I Mod Podge them onto the cutting boards -

After they dried I dressed them up with Jute Twine
I had but it is from the $ Store
The Tiny Acorns are from Hobby Lobby I got a year ago
The Metal leaf on the one sign is from Oriental Trading
The wooden leaves are from Hobby Lobby from a yr. ago
The wooden Pumpkins are from $ Tree & Target $ bin from last yr.

Anyway... I hope you like my remake - It was fun to do
and I have a couple more to show you 
Plus I did find time on Sunday to make cards! YAY
So, I'll be sharing them soon as well!


Have a Fabulous Day!
