Independence Day Stars

Today was another craft day for me!  Paint and Glue!

I made 1 large Star and 3 mini stars

At Michaels I picked up 5 wood sticks as noted above, hot glued them together, tied it up with a burlap bow and added in some fun 4th of July fireworks and attached an American Flag!

Than I went to work and realized I had this pack of small sticks:

So then I painted 5 sticks Red, 5 sticks White and 5 sticks Blue

I then posed them in a star shape and glued the corners

 

I let them sit for 5 minutes or so...

and now look at my mantle!

Decorate on and share your USA spirit!!!

I love Random

As I browse through one of my many favorite sights (www.etsy.com) I am floored by the massive amounts of creativity and talent that is displayed.  I recently got married and I am in that stage of "re-decorating".  We registered for all things black for the kitchen (stains don't show up on black) and I came across these amazing kitchen towel:                                        "nom nom nom" 

I would love to have this hanging on my oven!

More than that I love SassandPeril!  I purchased an amazing screen print of my favorite breakfast food:  a donut!  I have it hanging on my kitchen wall and I love it!  I shop her site on a regular basis, even though I haven't purchased anything since my donut.  I love her screen print greeting card: 

Mustaches are in!

I'm also in love with the wall vinyl:                             I'm also in love with this purse!

                                                               

Oh if I only had more money to purchase the things I love!
