Last week I got a goodie box from my BFF Tracy. Her and her cutie patootie hubby Steve had done some antique shopping in PA, as well as their house…ha! She sent me some cool stuff.
This is cool, it is a glass flower frog and it holds the Smooch Spritz bottles.
She also sent me these awesome glass baby bottles. They are going to look adorable with buttons or something like that in them.
Here are a couple old bread tins. I asked her if it was ok if I painted them, she said "they're yours, you do what you want with them.
So…
How cute are they? I used the same Heirloom White paint I used on my desktop caddy thing. Jeff and I ran to Home Depot today after lunch and I picked up some more spray paint and I also picked up some paint called "Heavy Cream" to paint my studio ceiling.
Look how cute it is with the striped ribbon in it?
The other day I ordered the New Color Kit Watercolor Wonder crayons and they came the other day and look at the awesome packaging?
When you order the Color Kit, you get all the trays with the new colors in them and then you put the ones you have at home already and complete the sets. But look how cute the little box is that it comes in. This Color Kit would be an awesome Christmas present, and how easy to wrap this box, or decorate it and voila' easy gift for that stamper on your list.
So I have been spray painting stuff, and I even did a piece of wood and then put some clear on it, and OMG! my studio stinks with fumes. Blech. It is getting better today.
I wanted to show off some of the cards I got in my Secret Santa gift the other night. Jan Jew was my Secret Santa and this is one of the cards that was in my package. This is the first one, I'll show the other two another day.
Isn't that gorgeous?
I love how she did the leaves of the flower…see what it is?
It's ribbon! Brilliant!
Well I am trying to finish up my Christmas cards so I am gonna skeedaddle off here.
Have an awesome Friday and thanks for stopping in!
Very nice!!!!I really must try that kind of pottery look technique some time. I hope to get back to more stamping on a regular basis in 2011!
Luv ya

I have never seen antique baby bottles. Super cool find.
And the ribbon looks beautiful in those bread pans.
Your stamping space much look amazing.
Well, gotta get that wallpaper up before the glue dries, eh?
I really like the card and everything you have done with all of Tracy's goodies. What a cute idea for the frog. You just have been going to town with all you are getting and I can't wait to see what it looks like in your studio (hint). Enjoy your warm weather. Suday it will be in the teens with the wind blowing pretty hard-brrrr. I think I will be staying inside. Roscoe is enjoying the cold weather. If I had a fur coat (faux, of course) like him I would too.

Gorgeous card! How wonderful that you have a friend like Tracy!
Awesome stuff you got, Di! I love what you did with the tins. Hope your room airs out soon LOL!
Hi Diana. Love your work. I was looking at a post where you said you had been inspired by a Kleenex box – and it was the same one I had been inspired by a while ago. When I went looking for it again, I couldn't find it! Just wanted to post a link to the card I had made based on the Kleenex box design:
