The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
This is an extremely fast project. I always have baskets around my home, they make it easy to transport things, are great for storage and are wonderful for gifts. Throughout the year you can get baskets to suit your holiday needs. Some have painted on designs and others are shaped for specific holidays but just because it has a theme does not mean that you can't use it year round. This basket was part of a Christmas gift that I received and it is a great size. It is actually the perfect size for dinner rolls for a large group. I used it for Easter this weekend for that purpose. This basket was very easily transformed into a general design. The first step was to paint over the snowmen with a cream paint, two coats was perfect to cover them up. Once it was dry I hot glued the ribbon around the top and there you have it. You could even add a bit more interest by painting a small design on where you covered the original decoration. Here is my budget tip for the day, once the holidays are over you can go to your local craft store and purchase this stuff with a HUGE discount. Just get creative and transform it into something that is appropriate for any occasion.
