Paint cans came in today!

I picked up my CASE of paint cans today after work. 34 shiny new cans! I've been making altered paint cans for awhile now, dh says I need to get busy selling them. I am working on pink LSU altered paint cans tonight. One has some bling & the other is a little less flashy. Matching ribbons to this fabric has been a royal pain, but I'm finally getting somewhere. I can't wait to try pink John Deere cans tomorrow. Guess I better get back to it, they aren't going to finish themselves, & it's past my bedtime.

I haven't seen Olivia Grace today or yesterday. Guess I'll track her down tomorrow, although I did see her Daddy twice. It's gotten cold so I'm just glad she is not out and about. At least I know she has plenty of blankies. (soft baby blankets are my current weakness)

My quest today...

I went shopping for LSU fabric to make more paint cans, apparently they are #1 in the country in college football or something. (NOT a big sports fan) Anyway, I didn't find what I was looking for but found PINK LSU fabric (terrible photo, it's ths same color as the JD) & PINK John Deer fabric! I think they will make HOT cans for local sales. I don't know how they will do on ebay, but I may have dh list 'em just to see.



I am so excited! I have a CASE of gallon paint cans coming in on Tuesday. The guy at Sherwin Williams kept looking at me strangely, when I would go in to ask if they had any empty gallon cans to sell me. I finally got up my nerve and asked him if he would order some for me. When he asked me how many, I asked him how much a case would cost me. He said... "Ma'am, there are 34 cans in a case!" The look on his face was priceless - guess I'll have to take a finished can or two in to show those guys one day. (I'm sure they think I'm insane.) Anyway, I have a ton more sorting and prepping to do IF I want to be ready for my CASE of cans on Tues.

I've been busy...

cleaning up my scraproom, sorting through old & new stuff, and actually making a few things. I made a paint can & altered a baby wipe holder for my new grand-daughter. (sounds weird). I'm still not used to the idea of being a grandmother, but I sure am getting attached to that sweet little girl. She turns and looks straight at me when she hears my voice. It's like she already knows how much I love her.

I'm a GRANDMOTHER...at 37!

Shopping did the trick!

Definitely inspired now... two hundred dollars later. :( BUT, I came home & started going back thru all my other stuff & got inpired all over again. (Bet my hubby wishes I had done THAT to begin with! )
So here I sit with all these amazing supplies, ready to get creative and swamp ebay with all these cute altered paint cans. Why am I still sitting here???? Well, let me just tell you why. I spent $4.50 each on 3 one gallon cans at Lowe's, had to pick through them high on the shelf just to find those 3 that weren't dented, etc. Drove 30 miles home, started those 3 & ran to the local Sherwin-Williams paint store for more. Still with me? THEY WERE OUT OF PAINT CANS!!!!!! All they carry is paint & paint supplies. Plus they acted like morons & couldn't tell me when or IF they would get any more!
So here I sit... I've resorted to putting supplies together in ziploc bags and gluing clothespins to my shelf above my work space to hang them from.
Hu-hum. Now what?!?!? I want paint cans, waaaaah! So here I sit, whining. Anybody feel sorry for me, anybody???

Not very productive right now...

I've been spending most of my spare time making games for my pre-k class. I need to stock up on paint cans. I'm feeling like doing some cute baby items, since I am expecting my first grandchild any day now. I guess I should tidy up my craft room and go shopping, hmmm... now that always gets me inspired! A shopping trip is definitely in order. See you soon... hopefully with something to share!

Problems

I'm sorry. It seems some of the pics on a lot of my post are missing for some reason. I'll get that fixed as soon as I can. "Hunny"!!!

Been a while.

It's been a while since I posted anything to my blog. Time gets away from you sometimes. I will try to be on more in the coming months. I have been making a few things. If you're interested, click on the eBay link on the left to see what I'm selling(if anything) right now.

See ya
