Miy Christmas Painted Dishes


“Make and bake a sweet gift dish”

Tis the season to be crea-tive…. Fa lala la..la..lala la la… Paint and bake your
way to easy holiday gifts starting with inexpensive dishes that are readily
available in home ware stores. These Snowman serving plates make gorgeous
gifts with a contemporary flair at the fraction of the cost of store bought
designer dishes. I made these snowman plates to give to my sisters and close
friends; they were a big hit! Children also love to get in on the creativity; they
can make personalized gifts for teachers, friends and family. For an extra
special treat, you can load up your festive creations with fresh baked goodies.

Remembrance Day...


Remembrance Day...
Taking a moment to remember our fallen heroes who have gone to dust,
is how we honor them for what they have sacrificed for us….
There is no need for war,
or for the loss of dear brave souls,
Let not their memories grow old, praise their spirits
For we need to remember this, in order to lose no more.

Peace to all...

MIY Recycled Shutter Decor, Magazine Rack


MIY Recycled Shutter Decor, Magazine Rack
Branching Out with texture to make a Magazine Rack

I just love shutters, I like to recycle them and utilizing them in various creative way
throughout my home. Fall week-ends are a wonderful time
to go antiquing or to promenade through flea-markets. I
recently had a garage sell to get ride of a lot of stuff I mainly
purchased at other garage sale. I noticed that the stuff that
I didn't’t sell is the stuff I really didn't’t want to part with. Like
this old shutter style door, so I painted it with a textured paint
and applied a free-flowing hand-painted branch design to give
it a modish edge. Branch, leaves and blossom designs are
very in this season and on everything from pillows to purses.
The shutter is now a stylish magazine rack, it’s out of my
storage and now serves a dual purpose, to organize my latest
magazines and to add elegant interest to an otherwise barren wall.
It’s a great weekend project, painting the branches and leaves
were quite relaxing to do.

Deck your outdoor décor scene for the Holidays with something fun,
creative and yet very original. Transform your fall pumpkins (or new

inexpensive outdoor décor concept to decorate the porch, patio,
