Garden Box

Here is a garden box that was a request from a co-worker for her daughter.  My husband built it (I helped!!!) and I painted and decorated it!  Hope you like it!
These are the "before vinyl" pics:

It is a two tiered garden box.  Each section is 2'x2'.  The lower section is 12" deep and the upper section is 18" deep!  We delivered it yesterday and the LOVED IT!!!

Continuing Project

As I posted before, we have a project that we are doing in stages.  We are decorating a glass window that goes in a door at our local bar.  We first did the vinyl "preview" that we etched onto a mirror.  This way the owner of the bar could see what the project would actually look like, and we didn't have to spend tons of money on it. (I had a stray mirror already waiting to be etched!)  After it was approved by the owner, we finally etched the "real glass".  It did take us a few attempts to get it right on the glass (no bubbles and centered), but it is done...FINALLY!  Here is a picture of the finished glass.  Once it gets installed into the door, I will post a final picture of the project.
The glass is clear, we just used a white background so that we could take a picture!

Teacher Appreciation Gift

I "craft-lifted" this project from another blog.  I changed it up a little bit, but used the same printables.  My daughter's teacher loved it!

I used a basic vase and etched the teacher's name, #1 Teacher, and flowers on it.  Of course I wanted to put some "bling" on it, but since I waited until the last second, I didn't have time!  I still love the way it turned out.
