Shabby Lil Chic Wreath!

Okay guys, I tell you how this started.  Awhile back I saw a coffee Filter wreath in Bloggyworld..Didn't save the picture or the site, SORRY, but it has just been stuck in my head.  I had about 15 coffee filters, not enough to make the wreath, so I added what paper I had.  Brown paper lunch sacks and Paper towels. 

Poured my leftover pot of coffee over ALL of them in a large bowl.  Let them sit a couple of minutes, pulled them out and put them outside to dry.  After they were totally dry, folded them in triangles and rolled into little flower looking shapes.  Stuffed!!! and I mean pushed them into a Grapevine Garland that I left rolled in a circle.

 Didn't have a wreath and it worked great, just more dense and hard to get that paper into.  Well Ladies, this is a FAVE...looks like a vintage paper, french ephemera, shabby chic...  I may glitter the heck outta the little edges, but am enjoying it's soothing, plainness right now. 

Many Blessings,

Denise

Join some great parties right here....

I'm BACK!!!!  2 words...Computer Virus!  I have missed all of you so much!
Okay, #35 in the Craft a Day While Colt's Away!
  I had this Sleigh that I picked up at a Garage Sale. I have had it for 5 years and never used it at Christmas, cause..I wasn't digging the Snowman.  Kinda SCARY to me?? I really don't know why!  So I said, this is the year that you get a Makeover my Friend!  Here it is before..You tell me if you think he looks kinda crazy..... 

Before, the Armless, Scary, Disproportionate Snowman...

And After...Leopard Print, Red Paint and New Ribbons!  I love you so much more...

Everyone, be good to yourself and I am thinking of you all!

Blessings,  Denise....

Dreadful Topiary turned into Fab Chicken Roost!! #20 in the CADWCA Series

Happy Wednesday all.  Today I took a poor, dreadful, neglected topiary frame that was sitting on our deck and Recycled, Repurposed and now I ReLove it!!  She used to have Fake Green Ivy on her, but lost ALL of it!  So I gave her new life as my Christmas Ball Topiary Tree!

Here is the Poor Girl Before....

I wrapped the form with Ribbon so it would Hold the Balls

I used leftover's I had and Target $1.00 balls for a pkg of 6

(Target Dollar Aisle people!!)

And here she is in All her New Christmas Glory!

I think Christmas Chicken found a New Place to Roost!!

Dressing the Chicken for Christmas #11 (CADWCA)

Good Tuesday Morning.  On today's Craft a Day While Colt's Away, we are Dressing The Chicken!  I have many Chickens, but this one's my fav.  I hope she makes you smile as she does me.  She is Ready for the Christmas Party!

I made her a hat with Scrapbook Paper, Trim and Pom Poms and of course, GLITTER!

I single chain about 6 different kinds of Fun Fur and make Trim.

I made her a Necklace with the Trim and added a Silver Ball!

She is Gracing our Breakfast Table waiting for the Party to Begin!

Take something you have and dress it up. Recycle, Repurpose and Relove.

Monday Makeovers #2-Candle Holder Makeover

Good Afternoon Everyone and hope all your weekends were great.  Before I post my Makeover Monday, I wanted to share the best Makeover that I was blessed with this morning.  God made over My Sunrise this morning in SPECTACULAR fashion underneath this Amarillo Sky.

Here it is in what a picture can capture...

Now to my makeover.  This weekend my sweet hubby got me a candle at Tractor Supply.  Paula Deen's Spiced Pear.  The Large one I got at a little boutique in town that carries Circle E candles.  I drew a 30% off coupon out of a bag, (trick or treat sale) and used it to purchase this 300 hour burning candle with reusable cookie jar for 35.00.   Both candles were Spring looking, light green and light blue so I decided to recover them to coordinate with my decor.  I spliced two 12 x 12 pieces of Scrapbook Paper together then cut to height.  Used a little Mod Podge to attach.  Yes there will be a few crinkles in the paper.  There is no way to affix square paper to a round curved cylinder!  I tried.  Then I used ribbon I had and attached a metal heart from my stash to the smaller one.  I think they are happier with how much cuter they are also! Recycle, Repurpose and Relove! Have a blessed day everyone and go MakeOver Something.
