I shall be using this from now on! Laura Thoughts: Make-up Magnet Board. We all know with craft blogs that original ideas are often hard to come by, we find ideas we love and make them our own but we didn't come up with the idea ourselves. I feel like I've finally done something original here and I'm excited about it. I'll show you the finished product and then explain. Behold my Make-up Magnet Board. I have a friend who is beautiful and stylish and has always loved make-up but recently took a course that intensified her love.

Her renewed interest has worn off on me and it made me remember eye shadows I'd hidden away that were gathering dust. I pulled them all out and was shocked at just how many I had. The basket was a mess and I was overwhelmed with all my choices never knowing what to use, digging through to see what I had and find what I wanted was a pain. I painted it (The hard way, with a brush instead of spray paint. I went to the hardware store and picked up some metal and had them cut it to fit inside my frame. Here comes the brilliant part though. Www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A%2F%2Flaurathoughts81.blogspot.ca%2F2011%2F03%2Fmake-up-magnet-board.html. For the Love of: Mason Jars.

Herb Garden Lights. Chalkboard Masson Jars. I do a lot of little projects around here. I rarely share them here on the blog. I have decided that it was high time I did so. You shouldn't just come here to snicker at my rose eating camel or my sandy nosed kids...no you should also come away with at least something interesting that you might try at home.

So today, if you are willing to give it a try, we will make something with one of my all time favorite things... Chalkboard Paint! And because I'm feelin' a little groovy and retro I'm doing most of this post in black and white...well I'm not black and white my pictures are. Ok, come to think of it I usually am quite black and white...but that is my issue and I won't burden you today with it...maybe tomorrow. First I started with my glass jars that I store my bulk foods in... I must say right here that not only do I buy lots of food in bulk but I also have this slight addiction to glass jars...love the things! I dig each and every one! Here is my oatmeal jar all taped off... How To Seal a Bag Of Chips Without a Clip.
