I found the cutest door project at littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com. Now I am kicking myself even more for not buying all of those antique doors for only $10. (For the full story, click here). See what I could have made with those! (And you thought I was crazy for wanting to buy old doors) Aack! Aack! I'm still choking with disgust about it. ( Just imagine me making little choking sounds). I just adore this corner shelf. Not to be repetitive but isn't it adorable?

Shelf Project

I love these big shelves. Someday I will either make one or find a good deal and buy one.

I hand-make these shelves when ordered. They are made of 3/4" pine and backed with bead board. After painting, the shelf is sanded and then stained to give it a distressed look. Dimensions: 48" wide, 19 1/4" tall, 9 1/4" deep. Drawers are decorative only, they are not actual drawers.

I offer free delivery to residents of West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and Bluffdale. All others can pick up there order at my home in South Jordan.

The Man Song

This song really isn't very funny until you get married. I love it :).

Cute Plate Project

When I was tagging along on Jakes business trip in San Diego this summer, I found the cutest plates while I was shopping with Jen in Del Mar. I really really like these plates. You know how sometimes you find things and you know it is yours. These plates are like that, they are totally me. I am totally in love with them. But knowing that I am a cheapo I did not want to fork out the money for them. Besides being cheap, I also have this fantasy that it is always cheaper and oh so fun to make things instead of buying them. I seem to always forget that I am not crafty. These projects always seem to be more fun in my head than they actually turn out to be.

So after some research on the Internet this is what I discovered.

Make a plate: makit.com or call 1-800-248-9443

Bad news. I found out it is more expensive than I thought it would be to make a plate. It costs $17 for 5 pieces of special paper they process on the plate. Then it is an additional $8 to process each plate. On top of that, you still have to pay $3 to ship each plate. Assuming you created 5 plates, it will cost roughly $15 per plate. Besides forking out $15 per plate I would still have to locate cute pictures and let's be honest, I know my plate would never look as good. Also, the company only sells white plates. So to create a cute plate like those above I would have to use markers and try to color in the entire background.

So I decided to forgo the project and go an alternate route to get my plates.

I found the plates I wanted to make online for only $8 -plus $8 shipping! So for only $1 more and a whole lot less hassle I could get the original cute plate. Wahoo!
