Vacation, Dreams & A Scentsy GIVEAWAY!

We just came home from an amazing extended weekend in SUNRIVER. It was so relaxing. It was a much needed vacation.
Last night I was feeling lonely for my favorite blogs, so I had a chance to jump on the computer {not literally} once everyone went to bed. I will NEVER do that again... It made for some interesting dreams, I did wake up laughing, to say the least. I will post some pictures, and MAYBE tell a little about my dream {you may laugh too!} Later!

ANYWAY... to get on with the super fun and interesting.

Jars, and paint, and flowers... Oh My!

It's OFFICIAL!


HI!! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Melissa, I am a SAHM of 2, crafter, photographer "wanna-be", decorator, and a whole lot more! I have decided to start this blog to document my craftiness... we will see how it goes.
After lots of fear of failure planning, here is my new blog! I am very excited to share my crafting, and this crazy thing I call everyday life.
SO... with that said lets get to CRAFTING!


I found these in a magazine, and it was LOVE at first sight. The price was another story. So, I thought I could make the perfect "knock-off". And I did!


First I had to find the PERFECT jars, so I headed out to my local antique shop.
I suggest running them through the DISHWASHER first.
My sister-in-law joined me, and we got to work.


We added 1 coat of primer...

Then let them dry over night.


Then we added 3 coats of porcelain color paint, that took another 2 days. I've discovered found if the paint has a chance to "cure" between each coat, then it sticks nicely to the jar. Otherwise, the minute you bump it...


Anyway, here is the end result! I am quite happy with it!

AND in honor of my blog being official, I would like to give away one of these lovely jars {designs vary} to one of my NEW readers, YAY! I'm slightly excited, can you tell?


So, just leave a comment, and someone will be chosen at random on February 18 at 8pm {pacific time}


ENJOY!
