Remember these little boards from the dollar tree? I bought several of them knowing that they had huge potential to be cute, but waited till just the right idea hit me. Well, it hit me like a ton of bricks this afternoon during the girls' nap time..JPG)
I was digging through my drawer of treasures when I spotted these metal beauties I bought at a yard sale last fall. When I saw them...it was love at first sight...then and now! I had no idea what I'd do with them, but I HAD to have them.Light bulb moment!

This is what I came up with..JPG)
What do you think?
I LOVE IT!

This was another old yard sale find from way back when. I think it was free. I knew it could be rehabbed into something more suited to me. It was cute this way too, but not what I had in mind.

TADA!

TADA!It's precious.
I have absolutely no where to put it. Maybe I'll hang it on a doorknob.

And last, but certainly not least...my giveaway loot arrived this afternoon. My bloggy BFF, Ashley @ Domestic Fashionista made this adorable "sweetie pie banner" and I won it! Is this not the cutest thing ever? Seriously, the picture does not do it justice. It is sooooo much cuter in person...if that is even possible.
I LOVE it Ashley.
Thank You!

Oh girl, I love the two signs, and I saw that banner on Ashley's blog. Just fabulous, but it should have been mine! I'm not a sore loser or anything. HaHA! It really is great though.
The plaques look wonderful! I bought two a few weeks ago and I've been waiting for inspiration to strike too! Good job!

Love the boards/plaques!!!!! I hope to stop by Dollar Tree next time I'm in the city to look for some. :)
LOVE the banner from Ashley! It is just the cutest.
You found those keys and such at a garage sale? So jealous. I never find cool stuff like that. I love the redo's! There is just something that makes us feel fabulous when you make something out of nothing. It's just a bonus when it was super cheap!!!
Jealous of the win! I never seem to win anything. I will not give up! No never! Thanks for inspiration-as always! Have a fantastic Tuesday!
