Guess what came in the mail today from elsie....
Yup that's right a super cute painting and a vinyl sticker.. Too cute! I can't wait to get this little beauty in a cute frame.
Sorry no layouts but i do have something to show..
Okay so i finally decided to go ahead and save my boring shelf and here is how it turned out:
Before:
After:
What do you think?? I started at the very beginning of the red velvet bolg and then started going backwards.I was just looking through EVERYTHING, i scrolled down and saw where Rachel did this to her little boys shelf! So i thought i would give it a try..I thought it was the cutest way to revamp the shelf :) Contact paper is used for so many different things i think i found a new love...
<3 contact paper:)
It wasn't that easy to find though. My mom and i went to walmart, kmart, home depot and Lowe's. But still no paper :( then finally we stopped at the dollar store to get some things and there it was 2.00 for a huge roll. My mom and i just looked and each other . We thought it was so funny how we went all over the place and couldn't find it but it would be in a dollar store...It's just the way things work :)
oh, great idea with the shelf! i saw that too on the rva blog! rach is fantastic!
