As Latarius Dante Jones would say... "TADA!"

A quick background on the title. I was a counselor at Camp Wezbegon (oh, yes.. an asthma camp). Punny isn't it? Anyways, one child there had the best voice ever. I mean this kid is recorded on my phone so if you ever ask me about him I'll proudly play you the clip. It could brighten my day any day. Moving on...

I've finally completed two (si, dos!) crafts. I must say, I'm quite proud at the craftiness. Seeing that Mathews offers beautiful scenery, but not much nightlife, I made my self useful by creating decorations for my soon-to-be abode in Raleigh.

I've really gotten into the eclectic art (as seen in previous posts). So I used an old oval, doubled pane frame (bought at Eastbrook Flea Market in Montgomery, if you're in the area and want to check out antiques, go here. It has incredible finds!) to create my birds on a tree look. I bought the fabrics and paint at Hobby Lobby. So here's the finished look of my first craft!

TADA! I tried to not have the glare of the flash sneak in. (Thanks to Meegan's idea off her blog: Naturally Meegan .. you should totally check it out!)

So after I finished the bird tree craft, I moved on. I had too much fabric left over from the first one. I took down one of my old picture frames and removed the back. I used the glass to paint/draw the dirt, grass, flower stems/leaves and glued my left over fabric (which I cut into tulips). It took me probably 20 minutes total. So easy, so quick. I used acrylic paint and a paint pen, which went on the glass smoothly. The bad thing about acrylic is that is goes on a little thin and can smear easily when applying another coat. But overall, it was an easy craft. You should try it! Drum roll for my second craft please (this with two pictures, woot!)....

And a close up!

I'm probably going to go back over the frame in a darker color. It was originally hot pink (gasp). Those who know my room at home realize (or should) that I had a concussion when I decided to let my room drip in orange, yellow and pink (gag). I've gotten over that slight delusion that I should be ultra-girly, cause I'm not. Either way, please let me know what you do think of this.

Onto the next craft! Once I figure out what it will be. Until next time, reader.

PS: I want to congratulate my friends Bethany and John on their engagement! I'm so excited for you two and can't wait to celebrate it in Auburn! Woot! (PS: that was for you Neubauer, since I know you read this. Hah..)
