Mod Podge & Glitter

I had the best Friday night that I've had in a long time! I recently ordered the most adorable "Let It Snow" from Uppercase Living and couldn't wait any longer (ok, it was only 24 hours but a  l  o  n  g   24 hours) to get it up on the wall.  It took less than an hour from start to on the wall so it's super fast and easy!

Here's what I did to fancy it up: Bought an 8x8 frame and white glitter at Michaels, grabbed my Mod Podge and a sponge.




I put an even layer of mod podge on the frame and then heavily poured on the glitter. Once that layer was pretty much dried (a.k.a. when you run of of patience & just want to get on with life) I did a coat of mod podge and glitter on the sides of the fram as well as the inside.


I decided it would be kind of boring if the background was just plain white so I flipped over the beautiful flower picture that came with the frame, slapped some MP & glitter on it and called it good. 

I applied the sticker... picture... sticker thingie  "Let It Snow" to the glass annnnnnnd 
**ta-da!**

 Ignore the nice lil air bubble in the "O" and the terrible lighting that is making my wall look like not such a nice color...

 I'll get a better picture during the day-time tomorrow of what it looks like but here's a dark and glumy shot



Until next time.

Welcome! Ever since I moved into my house last January, a blog has been on the back of my mind so I've decided to make it a reality! I can't promise exhilarating, earth shattering blog posts every week but I sure will try my best. You may wonder what is "424b'? Well, it's my house number... creative, huh?

First off, I owe a HUGE thank you to Becca Paro over at Jumping Jax Designs  She designed the blog for me and I couldn't have asked for more! Go check her out!

Since the snow started accumulating yesterday I got the big itch to start winterizing the house. It's my favorite season to decorate for! I'll take better pictures during the daylight in the next few days but here are some snap shots from my phone of the holiday/winter decorating I've been doing.



Aren't those skates adorable?! I'm sortof proud of the burlap wreath I made. Super easy! When I make my next one I'll be sure to do a blog post on it.





 Table still needs some help but you got to start somewhere!


 I've been loving the Candy Shoppe Scentsy warmer for this corner. It's still available, too!




 I know, the snowflakes aren't symmetrical but for once I planned it that way!



Over the few days and weeks I'll be adding, fluffing, removing and creating more winter decorations. Stay tuned!
