End In Sight For Alice Party Decor

Although I have made all the decorations for my daughter's upcoming Alice/Mad Hatter party my brain keeps churning and wanting to do more. My husband and the pocket book say stop! The "Eat Me" sign will be at the food table of course, made from chipboard letters from Michael's and backed with poster board. The frame is traced with my projector onto scrapbook paper. The flower faces are single stems from Hobby Lobby's 50% off stem sale and just craft eyes hot glued on, added some ribbon and moss and there you go!

Kids Table & Chairs

I had some scrap fabric and was really tired of looking at my daughter's IKEA table and chair that were REALLY worn with markers and dried playdoh etc. The whole thing took about an hour to do with Mod Podge and black craft paint. The little felt flowers were left over as well, just hot glued them on. I can Mod Podge anything in the world that stuff is really awesome!

It is a MAD situation in my kitchen!

I am still slaving away at Mad Hatter party decorations. I am having tons of fun on the projects. I do feel I go a bit overboard sometimes but you are only a cute 4 year old girl once! These photos are a few of the things I am finished or working on.

Refinished TV Cabinet

This project is a couple of years old. Before it was an oak entertainment center. As we modified the tv's it became useless. My husband wanted to sell it and I said "NO"! I needed a china/storage cabinet. It now houses the "special" dishes and other holiday odd and ends.

Blogging For Dummies

Now that I have played catch up with some past and ongoing projects I am going to read up on blogging and get the "low down" on how to's......

Refurbished Breakfast Table

I get bored with the look of things after a while and it really irritates my husband. We had a cherry wood dining set that was about 7 years old and it has always blended in with our cherry cabinet kitchen so I decided it needed a new look. Table and chairs were all cherry (don't have a before pic). The chairs were not covered either. I painted the table semi gloss black and put a vanilla color on the chairs. The covers are made from indoor/outdoor canvas fabric. It has really brightened up the breakfast area.
