Projects!

Why is it that creating a birthday party seems so easy and inexpensive in theory... until you actually start doing everything for it?  I had high hopes of keeping Betsy's birthday affair a simple one, but now it is becoming quite the project.

Every carnival needs a candy bar!  Here's the sign I created for ours.  The white shabby armoire is going to be filled with sweet treats :)




Found this frame at Ikea.  It was black.  After a few coats of acrylic paint,  it is now fun and festive and will work well with our theme.



We have this outdoor fireplace that I want to do something with.  I picked up some red & white striped fabric and hope to hang the frame and the red "B" in the center, and then make curtains out of the fabric.




Big plans, little time.  But it sure is fun!
