Look Who Stopped By!

ok, I think someone is enjoying 'Back Yard Camping'...

My lil peekaboo kitty loves Trailer Naps...

 our little neighbor kitty stopped by,,, I think she want's to take a Trailer Nap too!

Look at that face,,, "Please let me go inside'...

Carol DuVal (Queen of Crafts) and Flamingos...

Ok, so what does Carol DuVal (Queen of Crafts-HGTV crafting show) and plastic Flamingos have in common?  Wellllll... over a dozen years ago, she did a crafting segment on decorating plastic flamingos.... from decopauge' to feathers  to glitter and even making them little outfits!
Well I had 2 faded flamingos,,, from 5 summers of guarding my trailer  in the summer sunlight...
I just can't bare to part with my flamingos no matter how faded,,, so I decided to channel my inner 'Carol' and Voila!

 the front one is gold with multi-colored wings and the one in back is all gold.

I did not apply glitter to the eye/face/beak...

Easy peasy project... all you need is plastic Flamingo(s) (I have seen small ones at the $1 stores),
'Tacky" type glue (I used Arlene's Tacky Glue in the gold bottle)
a 4oz container of glitter - color of your choice...I found 6oz containers at the $1 store.
sponge type craft applicator.
a comfy lawn chair,.
some Dean Martin music (or what ever your choice) in the background.
A tall glass of Iced Tea... steer clear of alcoholic beverages... or you may end up with more glitter on you then your Flamingo! lol!

Yep, Every Trailer Diva needs some 'Blingy Mingies...!  lol!

Re-Vamped the Candlelier...

I wasn't to happy with the result of my small chicken wire candlelier... so I changed out the ribbon and added more beads... now if only I could take a decent photo of it!

I also had fun vamping up my 'Liquid Lunch Box'... lol!
I decopauged on some fabric, added some Bling and now it's Martini Time! lol!

 Cute cute cute...

 I also had enough fabric left to make a sweet 12" cloth napkin or super mini tablecloth...

Got my Dean and got my Bling....

I am all set to go!

Match Holder..

Every vintage trailer needs a match box holder...  so when I am lucky enough to fine one in need of a little TLC I scoop it up, take it home and show it some love...

 'Trailer Trash' is my latest one... a little spray paint, a graphic, some rhinestones and Voila!

I buy the big sized box of matches and insert the box lid,,, the metal holder has side cutouts to let you strike the match on (on the box lid)... so simple, so clever.
I wish  I could have gotten a better photo but my camera is old,,, I am old and the match box holder is old,,, what else can I say? lol!
