I love nap time. ;)

My most favorite thing to do is to spend time with my Bub, but boy, do I love naptime. Look at what I got done today! Yippee!

Found these at the Dollar Store:



Touched them up with some white paint:



Stuck a dowel in them and they're done! I'm getting more tomorrow, the whole lawn will be covered with them! :)




Got an extra frame? Scrapbook paper? Here you go, with a Spooooky sparkly from Hobby Lobby for $2!



I actually got more done but the Bubby is awake! Here's one more project I can't wait to show you: Remember this? Well, I'm going to try to make it work with this...




I know you are waiting with baited breath!! Stay tuned my Chickees...

    I saw those little tombstones at the Dollar Tree and thought they were so stinkin' cute! They look even better with the white touch up paint!

    I love the tombsones. What a little paint won't do. The spooky sign is my favorite. I can't wait to see your other project.

    Great ideas! I got some glittery signs similar to yours at the .99 cent store. I didn't think to frame them! Thanks for the ideas!

    I'm so blown away by your creativity that I am speechless. You have so many good ideas that I'm not sure where to start! You should really write a book or have your own TV show on Fine Living or current.com. I added you to my favorites list: www.parkinglotmamas.blogspot.com
