MONDAY JUNK PROJECT!!

By now you all know just how much I LOVE JUNK!!!!  Today I am featuring a junk project I did using an old cupboard door that was destined for the land fill.

I love french decorating and use a lot of it in my own home, so I decided that this cupboard door would be perfect with some added french destinations to it.  I cut the letters out of vinyl using my wishblade machine and rubbed them on.

Had to save the original hinges and latch as they add to the beauty of the piece.

This is a before picture of the cupboard door. All I did to prepare it for this project was to remove the one hinged piece at the top, wash it and give it a light sanding.

Well, that's it my friends...........another easy junkdreams project!!!

BTW....I hope this posts makes sense as I have just finished two very busy
nightshifts at the hospital and am feeling exhausted.

Hope you are all well.

Happy day and have fun junking!!!

DONE & THANK-YOU!!!

Well, the house is a mess, the laundry is over-flowing, and the kids haven't had a decent meal for a couple days, BUT..........I've finished another order......Hooray!!!!!   Just had to show it to you all.

I also wanted to tell you all something.....when I first started my blog I wanted a venue to keep a record of my projects......little did I realize that I would meet such an amazing group of people.  I am overwhelmed that so many people have become followers of this little blog, but I am more overwhelmed by all the encouragement, support and inspiration you have all provided me.  I cherish each of your comments and appreciate them deeply.  I am so blessed to have so many like-minded new friends in my life.

Happy day my blogging friends.

WHITE WEDNESDAY: LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

Welcome to another fabulous white Wednesday...please check out Kathleen's blog for a list of all the WW participates. 

Well, fall IS officially here, but it is more like summer in this part of B.C.  My garden is still looking so pretty that I have decided to do another garden post.  It won't be too long before the fall/winter rains begin (they do call this the WET COAST at times, short for west coast) so I am enjoying every sunny moment until then.

Here is a little bundle of lavender from my garden tied together with a piece of old sheet. It sits on top of a beautifully weathered side table in the yard.

This is another one of my staircase post projects I use as a bird feeder.

What a lovely surprise these gladiolas were this summer as I had forgotten that I had planted them and almost pulled them up thinking they were weeds!

A chippy white garden lantern sits on top of a chippy stone against some sedum and a white David Austin rose (smells so good!).

"CHERISH THE MOMENT"  is a rub-on I added to this sweet little container.

I hope you are all having a fabulous White Wednesday.  Happy day!!

A DIY JUNK PROJECT!!!

Hello blogging friends.  Today I have decided to post a DIY project.  This is a fun and simple craft utilizing thrift store finds.  I have turned silverplated plates into clocks.  This first one is done using a small silver plate---I decoupaged a Paris picture to the front, added some numbers and a clock mechanism.

Simply drill a hole in the center of your plate (large enough for your clock mechanism to fit through).  Then assemble as per instructions that come in the clock kit.  If you have never used a drill, DON'T BE AFRAID, they are very easy and pretty much self explanatory.  The hardware store people can help you pick out the right sized drill bit.

Another easy, peasy junk project brought to you by junk dreams.

Happy day my blogging friends.  A special thank you to all my followers who give purpose to my junking pursuits, and inspiration to my creative spirit.  I enjoy each of your blogs in return!!!
