I am loving these cute snow globes!

These will have to be my next crafting project.

But for now I'm off to visit my daughter.

She is working at Disney!

I will have lots of pictures

from the 

Magic Kingdom to share
when I get home.

 Last weekend was a busy one!

 But it seems like lately all of my weeks have been busy!

Having a booth in a shop makes for an extra busy

holiday season.

I have been making some holiday things to sell.

 It has been fun

The glue gun is my best friend ,

and also my worst enemy .

I can't tell you how many time I have burnt my fingers.

 Some vintage ornaments I found at an estate sale last summer.

A dressed up mason jar.

This has been the state of my craft room the last couple of weeks.

I have cleaned and organized it,

but it won't stay organized for long.

My sister is coming today,

I think we will have to fit in some 

crafting , along with

cooking turkey,

cleaning up after crazy boys,

and of course shopping!

Flea market

This weekend is 

Carter's Cottage

Holly Day open House.

 The shop looks beautiful.
we have all been working on Christmas for 
awhile, so it will fun to see all of it in the store!

 

Last weekend Was Kane county flea market.

I have been going to the 

Kane county flea market 

for a long time.

So I decided that it might be time

to take the plunge and rent a booth

and try to make some money

instead of spending it!

It was a lot of work,
but really fun.

Christi and Laura

from Carters Cottage

(where I have a booth)

were there with me.

We were really happy with

how well we did.

I sold lots of furniture,

which my husband was happy about.

Not so much about the money I made, but about

being able to park is car in our garage again!

We will definitely be back in the spring.

We also sold a lot of paint!

So if you are a Kane county 
shopper, 
make sure to stop by in the spring and say hello.

Kitchen redo

This is what my kitchen use to look like!

This was suppose to be our 5 year house,

9 years later we are still here.

So I decided to take the plunge and redo my kitchen to match 
the rest of my house.

I had some one come out and give me an estimate

to paint the cabinets and it was going to be over 3500. 00!

So I decided to do it myself.

I used Anne Sloan chalk paint in 

Old White.

I put on 2 coats of paint,

distressed them around the edges

and added clear wax.

I then had a professional remove the panels of 3 of my doors.

And add glass.

It took me a day and a half to finish,

and only

3 quarts of paint!

I love chalk paint

I use it all the time. 

But I really love the look of it on my cabinets!

I wish I would have done this a long time ago.

I finally feel like my kitchen goes with the rest of my house.

Here is a peak at my cake plate collection.

It coast me under 400.00 to do this.

I still need to get hardware, but I saved us 

3000.00 to do this myself,

So I might splurge a little bit on the hardware.

I am linking up with 

White Wednesday

over at 

Faded Charm 
and also with
Jennifer Rizzo.
 Make sure to visit Jennifers
 blog and take a peak at her beautiful
kitchen!
