Craft Saturday

So today I worked on a few projects. The first one is an end table that I pick up off a Facebook page for $10.00. It has a lamp with it and was a little out dated. 

This was when I was sanding it.

But it wasn't going to look outdated after I was done with it!!! I sanded it down and painted it this beautiful cream color. It looks white bit it is a cream. 

I also spray painted the lampshade and I will be putting my own twist on it later. There is these magazine holds on the bottom of the table that I can't wait to find something to do with. 

My second project for the day was painting a whole lota of signs. I have been making these signs for every show or open house I have and these sell like hot cakes. I have a good friend of Tim and I's (oh Tim is my husband) who goes to Oklahoma City and gets pallets of boards from a cabinet company. These are their left overs. They work for a lot of different ideas. He sells them to me a dollar a board. 

This last time I got a whole pallet of them.They range in size but I like the different sizes. I just paint the boards, make the vinyl sayings, and boom I sell them for $12.00 each. I know $12.00 is a weird amont but I do it for two reasons. One when I go to show I have to charge taxes and in instead of me trying to figure out the taxes I just add it to the price before hand. And 2 I price things a little high because a good selling  point is I tell everyone all the prices are negotiable and people think they are getting a good deal. I know I would think I was. Here is a few things I have done with the boards...

I can cut state out of them.

Shelves...

The vinyl...

I can't letters out of them...  (I kept this one because I feel in love with it.)

This one is the one I sell the most of. Love!!!

The last thing I did today was this bad boy....

I love this so much!!! I thought it would be hard and it was at first but I think I have the hang of it now!!! The board was free and I had the paint!! Pure profect baby. I love those projects. This one I paint the chevrons, then sanded and paint the Kings and numbers. The longs part it do the chevrons. I don't like do them but when they are done it looks so cool.

Tomorrow is church but after I will be right back at it!!! I need to get stuff out the the shop. Busy busy busy!!! First show of the year is in March so I have to get stuff done! Now to sleep.

Update on everything...

So there has been a lot going on in my life in the past year. With my family, work, and everything in the middle I haven't been able to update this as much as I would like to. But I am going to start updating more offten. 

I would first like to give a little update on my Relay life. I am not with a different county and an amazing team. We had a meeting the other day I tell you what there was more people that showed but for the meeting then there was in my whole committee last year. We have some awesome stuff we are doing. The power wheels is back and this time it is a Ford F-150 truck!!! Super cute!! We are having our car/craft show again. This year I am just in charge of the car show! We are going to have more classes and some of the money is going to the fire department. The last really big thing we are doing is a unmask cancer ball. This is going to be so much fun. Big things in the works this year and can't wait to show you everything. 

The next thing that has been takin up a lot of my time is I have started a new business in the craft world. Southern Treasures is a project that has been in the works for a few years and I am happy to say it now a business. I will be posting some of my stuff on here and showing you how to do it too. I do everything from pallet chairs to hand painted signs. I am going to craft shows and learning everything as I go. I have 2 big shows coming up and I can't wait!!

Here is to the future of fun and excitement!!! Please stay tune and join me on this new a fun ride!!!
