Mirror, Oh Funky Mirror, On The Wall January 10, 2012

As you know, I’m OBSESSED with funky shaped frames and that also includes mirrors.  Here’s a couple I found on the cheap, I mean really cheap, like both for less than $10.00!  Throw a little spray paint on them and their transformed!

I dug deep, to the bottom of the pile of mirrors and mirrors to find this gold gem!

There was something about her that was reminiscent of Beauty & The Beast, which just happens to be my favorite Disney movie!

But that textured oval thing is so strange isn’t it? I wonder what the person who designed this mirror meant for it to be?

Nothing a little sparkly brooch and some silver spray paint couldn’t fix though.

I added a bright pink ribbon, this one just happens to be from the LOFT bags. . . I always save those ribbons from LOFT shopping bags because they are the most gorgeous colors, I have a big old jar full!

Didn’t she turn out so beautiful? I think it’s a mirror you would totally see in Beauty and The Beast, or Snow White or one of those Disney princess movies!

I also found this beast!

It’s a little too gothic looking for my taste but I knew some bright spray paint could fix that!

I went bright cobalt blue!

And flipped it upside down. I think that softened it up a bit.

GORGEOUS!  Well, maybe not gorgeous, but fun, right?

Don’t be afraid to buy something a little ugly and throw a fun color of spray paint on it.  You’ll probably create a masterpiece and love it!

Smiles!

When you have Aunt Jody?  (and my wonderfully creative sister, Kate)

Okay. . . maybe we needed Bakerella for the idea. . .snowman cookies.

But you have to admit, we’ve got some mad decorating skills! Remember this adventure? Or our adorable cake  pops?

This year Aunt Jody went to Bakerella for inspiration again. . .

We had regular sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, christmas tree sprinkles, circle sprinkles, candy cane sprinkles, chocolate covered sunflower seed sprinkles and we even had Tic Tacs!

How adorable are these?  Snowmen with stocking hats and ear muffs and big smiles. They were too cute to eat.

Aunt Jody had trays and trays and trays for us to decorate!

I got  a little creative, can you see Rudolf and Santa’s elves?

Thank you for another great holiday cookie decorating night Aunt Jody!

Smiles!

Megan
