Show and Tell Monday!


This week was a busy one, yet I managed to find some time to get creative! I was able to work on many projects. I was on a role and it felt great to finally get things done that have been sitting around. So without further adieu. . . . .First up is the rocking chair I showed you last week. It was a murky green. Now it is a cheery pink and white with rose decals. I just need to add a coat of sealer and some finishing touches and it is ready for my little girl! I will show the final product next week.


Next up is the necklace tree I also showed last week. I decided I liked the gold so I put a fresh coat on it and added a little fou fou. I am happy to say it sold on Friday! I also have a few tags for Halloween. Just a bit of fun!


Finally, we have a journal followed by some staplers I painted. Now the fun part is embellishing them for an upcoming Pink Friday.

That's it for this week. Welcome back to all the lovely ladies of Make Mine Pink. I look forward to hearing all about the fun you had at the retreat! I can't wait to join you next year! Thanks so much for visiting and have a wonderful week!

Carrie,
You did an amazing job on the rocker. It is just beautiful. I love that you added the roses. Perfect balance of color and design. Your paper items are always so wonderful too. I wish I was able to put all of those items together like you do to create a great product.
