Friday Find

Hello,  My name is Jenna and I am addicted to shoes!

I stopped into Tuesday Morning and found these for $5.00 each. What What! (That is me raising the roof  if you need a visual) Happy Friday to me!

Pinterest Drink Coaster Revamp.......

I finally did a craft project that I pinned on Pinterest.  It was super easy and quick. I inherited these ugly coasters that had roosters on them from my husband's bachelor pad.

Seriously, I have Never had a rooster decoration in my house.  that is one decorating band wagon that I did not jump on! Ha h
Enter my addiction to Pinterest.  I do a lot of looking and not a lot of executing when it comes to crafts.  I have had success with some recipes, cleaning and decorating ideas, but this is my first Pinterest copy.....

So, I cut the paper

Then gatheres up the additional supplies, Mod Podge and a a paintbrush.....

First, I added Mod Podge to each coaster .......

Pressed the paper on the coaster and smoothed out any bubbles. 

Then painted the Mod Podge directly over the paper......

Then let them dry.....

No more Roosters!

It's all in a name.....

Why Sweet Pickles?    My Husband has been calling me Sweet Pickles for about 4 years now. 

"Mr. Pickles" has been urging me for a long time to start my own blog because I am always talking  about the blogs that I read, so now here is my attempt.....at my own blog.

It won't be perfect or strategically planned.  It will actually be a hot mess as I am learning by fire.  So be patient with me and stick with me.  Hopefully you are inspired by our DIY skills and mishaps.  I hope you can relate to our crazy, hectic lives.  

The first post and last of 2012.   

We just returned from our last family vacation of 2012 to Gatlinburg, TN.  The most memorable experience was indoor skydiving.  WOW, what a thrill!   

Mr. Pickles and I are gearing up for 2013.  More to come on our resolutions, projects we have completed in 2012, blog plans, and life as we know it. 

Prayers for a Happy and Healthy New Year,
Jenna
