favorite blogs by category

This is my confession: I abuse post-it notes. Okay, I said it...I am one of those people who has stacks of random notes on my desk. I've designated a little basket for my notes...today I was going through my notes, and I came across a list that I had started of different blogs I liked. I wanted to put this list somewhere. I'd like to a create tab on my blog someday, but for right now, I'm just going to make it a blog post. So this post, is just going to be a small list of the blogs I've written down. I plan to update this with more blogs as I come across them. 
Thanks for stopping by!

owls, owls, owls....

So I guess you could say that I'm not that great at blogging...it has been months since my last post. I work full-time, and sometimes more than 40 hours a week, so completing projects and then blogging about them can be a challenge. I was thinking about it the other day though, and realized that I had done quite a few owl projects over the last few months...

I have twin daughters that are juniors in college in Tucson....which is about 2 hours away from home. They live in a condo, and they like owls. So as I've recently become a thrifter/garagesaler, I am always on the look out for owl items. Usually, I just spray paint them with Krylon gloss White...I will always use a primer...whatever white primer I have on hand. I've found that just about anything will look modern and clean with a fresh coat of high gloss white spray paint...here are a few of the projects I've completed:



vintage Owl Mail Holder:

from the same garage sale, vintage owl bookends
this week I found this owl pair at Savers
and yesterday, I found this little guy at the Salvation Army...I'm including a pic of the bottom, where you can see the signature of the artist, Nell G 1974. I didn't paint over that, I thought it was cool.

So that's my little blog post. I am going to try to post more often...I've been trying to fix-up the header. Soon, I'll figure out how to change the color of the text on the header so you can actually see it!
Thanks for stopping by!
