Gussied Up Photo Frame

Hey there everyone! Today was my day off, so I baked some cookies and watched some t.v. and redid this nifty little picture frame!

Now this frame is SUPER cheap, as in it doesn't even have a stand on the back to prop the frame up. Before this little redo it was sort a lovely muddy brown with a gold stripe around the edges. Tell me about it- super fashionable. Nothing a little paint and glitter can't fix!

A little coat of white paint, some Mod Podge and some glitter and soooo much better! :) I have more than a few picture frames around the apartment that are... less than pretty. To say the least. Maybe it's time for a makeover for all!

Anywho, tomorrow I'll be working in the morning, but in the evening time I'll be making another batch of cookies for that charity bake sale I mentioned last week, so check back for a baking post! And get excited, because I'm sharing an old family recipe for which you will be forever grateful! :)  Happy Tuesday, darlings!


Much love always!
P.s. I'm thinking of doing a little giveaway, what do you guys think? Give me your thoughts in the comments!

More Glasses Talk. Are You Sick Of It Yet?

Hi folks! I had a super dope night at work, as usual, but a late night to be sure. So just a short post tonight!

Remember all that glasses talk from a few weeks ago. If you do, then you know that I'm on the hunt for the perfect pair of cats eye glasses. It's a toughie, because even though lots of glasses makers have hopped on the vintage/retro inspired train, finding the right shape, width, height, color, etc takes hours of trolling the interwebs. So I was on Pinerest today, doing it up, and I realized that I completely forgot about one of my favorite bloggers and her TO DIE FOR glasses.

Keiko Lynn! The picture is taken from this post on her blog (which is freaking amazing, by the way. If you haven't gotten over there yet, PLEASE do. She's incredible.). I followed all of her little linksies and found the glasses!

Now, these are Ray Bans... In other words, more than a wee bit expensive for a watiressing girl like me. Maybe with some profitable weekends and saving up some money I can afford them (or maybe they'll see this post and I'll get my first sponsor!), but we'll see! If you guys have any other super neat places to find cat eye glasses, let me know!

That's all for now, loves! The second batch of colored glass jars is in the oven and I get to work another late night tomorrow. How are you guys finishing up your weekend? :)


Much love always!

Colored Glass Coolness!

Howdy lovelies! Happy Saturday! Guess who gets to spend another Saturday at work? *Gestures to self* This girl! Color me all kinds of excited. I'm hoping you guys have better plans than I do this weekend. Honestly, one of these days I'm going to take an ENTIRE weekend off and just...do nothing. Just kidding! I will take the weekend off sometime soon and just do WHATEVER I WANT. :)

Anywho, as soon as I got home from work, I popped my glass jars into the oven. And wow!

I love it! They look super gorgeous. Now, for sure, the color definitely changed from the way it looked when it was freshly poured into the jar, but soooo pretty. I already have another batch in the works for tomorrow.

I killed off an entire bottle of Mod Podge and I'm running out of glass containers, so until I get that figured out I'll have to come up with some other projects! What do you guys think, any ideas? I'm on Pinterest so I always see nifty things on there, but oftentimes you have to scroll through tons of  pins until you find something you actually want to do. So send some ideas my way! And I'm also making some goodies for a charity bake sale through work this week, so stay tuned for an old family recipe! :)

Enjoy your Saturday, kids!


Much love always!
