I've been crafty

 

 

 

I've discovered it's okay to get paint on your hands

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've also discovered mixed media!

This is a recycled "canvas" from work.

A box, the size of a canvas, that would have been thrown away.

 

.... just the beginning of a mixed media piece

This pig is not cute.

I got her at Goodwill for $3.00.

I took her button eyes off, unscrewed the hook on her nose, took off the tape/price tag from her behind and gave her a good sanding and then some kilz spray paint.

I'm thinking she'll look cute with a chevron pattern painted on her.

 

What do you think?

More Goodwill Goodies...

Here are my most recent thrifty finds from Gwill....

cute stuff, huh?

He is now turquoise.

My daughter said I shouldn't paint this one... don't know if I can resist though. I'm thinking maybe white and then distressing for a shabby chic look.

Maybe Pink?

Maybe red or orange?

I love, love, love this frame! The marbleized {or whatever it's called} mirror has to go though.

Goodwill is making me very happy these days. I usually go on Thursday when I go to town to deposit my check. I try to spend at least $10 so I can get my card stamped. I've almost spent $100 and when I do I get $10 worth of free stuff. Woo-Hoo!!

TOTAL COST $11.31
