PRINCESS LOVES HER TENT

Fabric Cards

 

Here's the first round of fabric cards that I made from the FREE fabric sample books.  They are sitting on top of the envelopes.  Shown front and back.  Most all of the supplies were recycled and free.  I used a few scrapbook items (the initials on the card fronts).    The fabric was cut with a pinking sheers.  The back (paper) of the cards are from old greeting cards that I cut up.  I used green ink on one of the paper backs and envelopes.  Aileen's craft glue was used to put it all together.

Marshall's CLEARANCE

 

I stumbled upon Marshall's Bi-Annual Clearance (according to the gal at the check-out) and got each of the candle holders and the jewelry box for $2.00 each.  The "window box" with 3 boxes inside was $3.00 and so was the glass.  I also got a designer hairspray for $2.00.   That was fun!

I'm participating in Thrifty Monday on the SOUTHERN HOSPITALITYBLOG.com.

Blue Cheese Bites

              

I made these little gems with dinner this week.  They were DELICIOUS!  Here's the recipe:

BLUE CHEESE BITES 

1 pkg. refrigerator buttermilk biscuits
3 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. blue cheese, crumbled

Melt butter and cheese together in small saucepan. Cut each biscuit into 1/4's and lay in bottom of glass pie plate. Evenly drizzle butter and cheese mixture over biscuits. Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve warm.

FREE Fabric Sample Books

CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE.  After reading a blog on THRIFTY MONDAY (Southern Hospitality Blog),  about the gal that got a FREE Pottery Barn Slipcover Sectional on FREECYCLE, I was immediately motivated to check the free section of Craigslist.  A local custom drapery store listed free fabric sample books.  15 minutes later I was at the store and they were helping me load them in my car.  As soon as I got the fabric I started crafting  FABRIC CARDS like MAD!!!  I'm having a blast!   Joey helped me disassemble the books, which was a strenuous job and perfect for a strong man!  I can't wait to show you my completed cards!  COMING SOON!

Lamp REDO

FREEBIE!!!!!!!!!!  I found this in the "free" area at one of my favorite thrift stores.  It was brass and really in bad shape.  I spray painted it in the same Satin Antique Bronze spray paint that I used on the hardware of my latest jewelry box redo.  I'm really happy with how it turned out.  We needed a small lamp next to the love seat in the family room.  

FREE & and it only took 10 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
