"Oh Crafty Day!!"

Oh what a FABULOUS crafty day my sis and I had on Saturday!  Might I mention, we started out the day by running 3 miles, bc we are starting to train for the 1/2 marathon!

Not sure what to call this cutie, but maybe just a chic picture frame?!  Credit goes to the ladies over at Shanty2chic.  As always, you can just add your own personal touches however you would like. 

This one is a gift....it turned out to be my favorite out of the 2 that I did.  It is a blue sky color with a little bit of brown distressed coming through. 

I unfortunately did not get a picture of Nat's frames, bc she had to leave to tend to the children before the frames were completely put together.  Hers were lookin' cute though!  

OUR WORDS OF ADVICE:  Do not do this project in 25 degree weather!  You will be numb from your fingers down to the tips of your toes!  Besides, it's really hard for the paint to go on just right too when it's that cold! 

Here is the one we are keeping.  I have it sitting on our bar area connecting our Dining Rm and LR.  I decided to make it double-sided, so it will be fun to look at in all directions.  That was a last minute plan ;) 

                                       This one is cream distressed to go with most of our decor. 

 Living Rm side....2 rosettes are made out of burlap and the other one is made from my living rm curtain material (chocolate and cream).

Dining room side.....I made a burnt orange rosette that matches closely to my dining room curtains.  Im just in LOVE with this little guy!  Cole has caught me staring when we were watching TV.  He said, "Are you staring at your craft??"  Haha, I can't help it.  I get REALLY excited about new crafts!  I wish we could do a sister craft day EVERY Saturday!!


These are actually 11" tall and 8" wide, so they make a pretty bold statement with your decor.

JUST A THOUGHT, I may start selling these and most of the proceeds could go to Cystic Fibrosis to help find a cure for my 4 year old neice.  I am co-chair for the May 2011 Great Strides walk this year, so my "wheels are a turnin" for some great ideas on how to raise some money.  Think they would sell?!  I was thinking around $25??

Enjoy the snow, if we ever get any ;)
