Wedding Project

Spray paint is your friend and they have great colors out these days.  Spray paint is such an inexpensive way to change the look of just about anything.  Amie & Matthew’s Wedding colors are Navy & Coral with touches of gold, burlap & sunflowers.  We found these little pre-cut tags at Michaels for about 60 cents a piece.  I have to say, I do love posting these cute projects but leaving the details as a surprise, so no, I can’t tell you what they’re for.  🙂

I found these lanterns clearanced at Lowe’s a few years ago at the end of summer, only 75cents each! So knowing at some point and time I’d use them I bought about a dozen.  The time has come, lol, wedding project.  I bought the premade burlap bows at Hobby Lobby $2.99 ea. and the flowers at Joanne’s, sunflowers $3.60 (40% off price) and the little white flowers $2.99 (not on sale).  A little hot glue and voila!! Per lantern – flowers .82 cents, bow $2.99, lantern .75 cents = $4.56 each!!! I love a good bargain and super cute!! 🙂

Tree Trimming

I decided to have a tree service come out & clean up some of my old trees.  I’ve never owned a home with trees as old as these and they’re beautiful.  I love big ol’ trees, they have such character.  Well these were over grown and have never been trimmed.  Some huge branches hung over the neighbors house so I wanted those cut off – heavy snow on tree branches can be a scary thing.  I found this company – Rom-Sons Tree Services & they did an outstanding job for a fair price.  I even had them take some tree stumps out & they pulled out those ugly junipers in front of the house along with the 1/2 dead juniper bush.  I asked them to leave the stump back by the huge tree on the side of the barn yard – it’s going to be a mushroom stool for the grandkids & Jason and I are going to build a “kinda” tree house around that tree! Now I just have to dig out that old satellite dish@@ Here is the website for Rom-Sons – I highly recommend them – excellent service, friendly and cleaned up everything when they were done: http://romsonstree.com

“Michaels” carries these great “cut-outs” and Amie and I thought we (I) could make some signs for her wedding.  We’re going to use them like chalkboards, kinda-sorta.  I spray painted the trim color, then taped off the inside to spray black, super simple!  I used satin spray paint for both colors.  Just added some burlap ribbon & a sunflower – spray paint and hot glue guns are my friend! 😉
