Epic Fail Fix

So I wound up finding this cute little cardstock at Michael's for ninety nine cents...

& I disassembled the mirror... traced the back to insure a good, proper fitting...

& then I found my ammo of choosing... I sprayed the silver really lightly over the picture... not enough to do a color change... just enough for a dewy, shiny look...

I used to ModPodge to adhere to picture to the paper, then I coated it as well to seal it...

Luckily, it dries clear! To further seal and protect it, I sprayed it down with 2 coats of polyurethane, which can be found at any hardware store or department...

Feeling that it still wasn't quite right, I found these charms meant for bracelet making but ultimately, I think it was meant for this...

& Viola! Put it all back together & this is what I have!!

Monkeying Around

Over the course of today, I acquired a new centerpiece, for free... yayness.

Regan came over today and her little girl & my Labrapit enjoyed a fun filled 20 minutes playing tug war with Mav's monkey. She'd hold it and shake it... he'd prance over and snag it from her, walk in a circle around her and drop it off in her lap. Quite the continuous cycle.

Picture Happy

I went to Michael's today to fix my epic fail, I found the paper that seemed to be the best spouse for my newest idea and while I was there, I found the cutest basket for Sunday picnics for 60% off... making my little find a steal for just $3.00!!

I then came home & my friends baby girl was dressed far too cute to pass up so I pulled out my camera and proceeded to lay belly down in the wet grass, cooing and giggling with her. She was such a good little sport as we posed her and successfully made her smile this megawatt grin. She's soo photogenic, I love it!!

Wreaking Havoc

Toys in this home don't last long anymore... I try not to be so amused when you two gentlemen do terrible things. I tried not to laugh as the toy I brought home for you was destroyed in minutes. But it's just too funny.

When you act so proper and dashing, Mav...

Just to be a dirty, rotten thief...

I still find you dramatically amusing...
