Milk Glass Bottle DIY

 Do you ever have an obsession for something?  I have this white/soft white obsession with dishes, vases decor., etc. I absolutely adore milk glass vases, you get the picture. I recently spray painted these cute Owls from Hobby Lobby (clearance from the fall section) into snowy owls for the holidays. 

They turned out pretty good and got me thinking of other things I could spray paint......hmmm. My sister-in-law gave Mr. B and I a gift for our wedding where we open up a new gift every month! It's been really fun and has spread out our wedding cheer! I love opening presents! In October, we opened a pumpkin carving tool set and apple cider. I immediately fell in love with the apple cider jar and couldn't wait to use it for decorating. Since I had the white spray paint from the owls I decided to paint the jar and see what happened. Here's what I used. 1) One apple cider jar, glass (any type of unique jar would work) 2) Krylon Fusion spray paint, in satin. 3) Newspaper.

I did several layers of paint. The one thing I love about this spray paint is how quickly it dries. I'm

kinda of a quick craft person and it drives me crazy if something takes forever to dry.  

Finished Product - ta-da! 

I haven't quite decided where I'm going to put it, and if I'll keep the sticks. We'll see......

(P.S. I raided a deserted bush in a deserted swamp area on my way back from the Post Office today, lol.)

Delights of Christmas

I love this time of year....the preparing, the decorating, the baking the shopping, you name it! This year is my first Christmas away from home (at the present) and as a married woman, no less (so strange). I have had fun decorating our home and creating a warm fuzzy Christmas feeling! Last year I remember agonizing over what to give Mr. B for Christmas without it being overly sentimental. What a relief it was this year to shop and not have to worry about that part!! I could purchase items like this and not have to stress about being weird (insert smile). We celebrated our little Christmas this weekend. It was a blast! Our holiday tradition we set into motion this year: sleeping under the tree on Christmas Eve. For some reason, I wasn't sure if we'd actually make it, but we did the WHOLE night on the floor and woke up to our beautiful (albeit small) tree which you can see here. To be fair, my wonderful hubby gave me, my very own sleeping bag as an early Christmas gift! Here are 7 Things I'm loving this season: 1) Our Christmas sign 2) House I made last year that lights up at night 3) Red shoes 4) Woodland creatures on our tree 5) Cookies! 6) The reason for the season, Jesus 7) My Hubby = love. Oh, life is good.
