OMG!! I love duct tape....it RULES THE WORLD. You can fix anything with it.....make anything with it, right? So, I had some left over from a project I had done, and decided to make a purse. My oldest daughter(33) just loved it. Wants me to make many more...just for her. Are not these the cutest things for a Halloween Party, or just to have during the Season??? I have pink. blue, zebra, gold, silver.....and much more. I think they are so cute, and can't wait to make more. Blessings, Deborah

Table and Chair Re-do

Image
So, I had this old white wicker chair sitting on my back porch getting rained on.....the wicker around the bottom was coming undone. The lady table sitting in my hallway just was BLAH.....so I decided to give them a face lift. Painted the chair a really bright fuchsia I had.....put leopard duck tape around the legs......and then painted the little table alot of bright colors in stripes, dots, and flowers. Really like the way it turned out. Hope you enjoy....Blessings, Deborah

Do you Dream Big?

Image
Good Saturday Morning everyone.  I guess this morning I'm feeling a little down...maybe even feeling alittle sorry for myself. DO you ever dream that you were meant to do something BIG? Like start a business....I've had several of those....or write a book...yes, I have several of those in the works. Several years ago I had a freak accident, fell down some steps helping a friend have a yard sale, and broke all the bones in my left leg...had pins, plates, screws put in. Lot's of pain. In the process, found that from an accident many years ago and then the fall, I had herniated, bulging disc in my neck and back.....lost my home on the island where I was living, and had to move back home to my hometown. Then was declared "disabled" to work full time...and had to find a way to "make ends meet", and well, found all you guys and started crafting, painting, etc. Became a blogger and learned what I could from all the more talented folks out there. I struggle eve

DUCT TAPE I PAD COVER

Image
I should have made a tutorial about how easy it was to make this, but hind sight is 20/20...right? But I got this idea from Erica the creator of P.S. I made this. I had seen her on Rachel Ray last week and this was one of the crafts she made and I just fell in love with this. First, I went and bought a pack of shelf paper from the Dollar Tree here in Waycross and yes, it was a dollar!! Love that place. I already had several rolls of duct tape from another project. I went to Apple.com and got the dimensions of an I Pad. I don't have one but my sister does and that is who I made this for. I measure the size of the IPad width size and then folded it in half. The I measured enough for the  fold-over flap for the top. I then took my duct tape and started wrapping it around. Then did the flap on top. Adhered Velcro for the closure, and WHAM an IPAD cover that is very snazzy!! Tell me what you think. My sister loved it when I gave it to her today. Next time I will try and make more pi

NEW! Faux Stained Glass Painted Window

Image
I love old windows! I love stained glass! So, after a friend GAVE me several old wooden windows after she had installed new windows....I was ECSTATIC !! I have painted several old windows before and they have turned out pretty well. So, the other day as I was flipping channels trying to find something to watch, there was a house with a stained glass window over the kitchen sink. Well, that got me thinking. So, I took one of the old windows and used Tulip Slick Black paint to draw outlines of the designs of the "stained glass" on the back of the window. I also knew that the Tulip Paint would be raised and give me and great outline to "stay between the lines".  I let the black paint dry over night and then the next morning I started applying the different colors for the "stained glass". I really like the way it turned out. I hope you think so also. If someone has also done some thing like this I would love any input or tips. Blessings, Deborah There is s

Do you FEEL the RAIN? Folk Art Painting

Image
I have a secret......yes, I do. I LOVE, LOVE, playing in the rain!! Do you hear me? I can hear the rain start to fall and something pulls me that way. I guess it comes from being a little girl and we didn't have a pool. So, mom and dad would hook up the water sprinkler and away we would go. Running with our arms up in the air and yelling and squealing, thinking that it was the best thing in the world. So, when a typical "south Georgia rain shower" would come along...and of course no thunder and lightening...mom started to let us play in the rain. A couple months ago, my daughter who is 23 lost one of her very best friends. It was so tragic and affected these young people in such a hard way. And he was a precious young man, so I went to the funeral with all of them. At the grave side, it started to rain. I had gone back to the van and watched as it started raining harder. All of a sudden I heard one of the young men that were there yell..." Ok Justin make it rain&quo
