Spoon Rack Makeover

I picked up this spoon rack at a thrift store recently and decided it needed an update-- looked awfully late 70s to me.  And I almost forgot to take a "before" photo which is why it is painted on the top-- didn't buy it that way!

Here's the finished product.  What do you think?  Decoupaged the images and "aged" the entire piece.  Kind of funny to think I "aged" something from the 1970s!

It will go in my Etsy shop soon.

Have a fun day!

Vacation ATC

So Artful Challenges is running a theme of creating something about a vacation, real or imagined, using the colors red, yellow, and white.  I came up with an ATC for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  I've never been there.  It was in the running one summer but was bumped for Mackinac Island.  I used their logo (on the white) and the other image is a wall in a psychedelic music exhibit they once had.

As long as we're on the subject of rock and roll, here is a Led Zeppelin collage I recently completed. And did you notice that is a Zeppelin LP in the above photo?  

Have a rockin' day!

Okay, I Lied

On Monday, I posted what I said was the last of my stamp collection. Well, I forgot about the stamps below.  Since they are not singles, I have them stored separately from the others so didn't think of them.

Marilyn and The Doors are foreign stamps.  My husband bought them for me years ago through some mail order offer.

The Doors stamps are really nice.  Those are their album covers in case you don't know.

So that's it, and if I come across any more stamps, I think I'll keep my mouth shut.

Hey, it's Friday!

Wacky Answer

Yesterday's (7-10-13) Wacky Package was Kellogg's Corn Flakes cereal.  No, I didn't make my husband exchange the corn flakes he bought for Frosted Flakes.  I'll survive-- I think.

Wacky Pack Wednesday

Another cereal parody this week. I'm dedicating this Wacky to my husband who can't read "Frosted Flakes" on a grocery list so comes home with this.

Have a nice day and double check that grocery list!

TT/Italy

Tag Tuesday is back to assigned themes this week.  First up is "Italy." As I mentioned last week, I don't have any Italian in me that I know of. I never had a real brainy idea so went sorta predictable, but I liked the pop of yellows. And the phrase means: Let's eat!

Ciao!

Last of the Stamps

Here is the last of my stamp collection. Below are some old ones. Half a cent? Can you imagine??

These are foreign stamps that I bought on Ebay for obvious dog reasons.

And custom stamps that are legal postage. Very cool. You can put any photo on them. That is my sister's horse, and her lab with mine. With the way postage has gone up lately, I probably won't be ordering more, however.

Happy Monday, folks!
