LASSIEZ LES BON TEMPS ROULER!!!!



 Top of the World and Lassiez Les Bon Temps Rouler!!! For those of you that are not Mobile AL or New Orleans, LA natives it means " Let the Good Times Roll!!!" FYI, Mardi Gras was started in my hometown  Mobile, AL. So I know that many of you will be attending Mardi Gras Balls and Festivities. So here is a quick and easy DIY project. Many of the things used are from last year Mardi Gras 2018 centerpiece. I purchased the feather boa from Dollar Tree. The fabric was purchased from Joann's fabric. Many of these trinkets are from a Mardi Gras balls that I attended a few years ago, which makes excellent centerpieces. The thankful jars are actually from Thanksgiving which I filled with purple marbles. There is no particular way to decortae for  Mardi Gras, just have fun!!!! So I hope that I gave you a little inspiration to get you started. Lassiez Bon Temps Rouler, have fun and be safe.

EASY DIY PERFUME DISPLAY




 Top of the world people and Happy Saturday!!!! I am back with another quick and easy DIY. So, if you are like me and have a lot of perfume and nowhere to put it. So... I decided to make my own.  Plus Valentine Day is around the corner so here a few suggestions of my favorite perfumes displayed. So, for this DIY, you will need 2 crystal handle holders that can be purchased at the (dollar tree), 2 gold platters that were gifted to me but can be purchased at the (dollar tree) fine loose glitter(Joann Fabrics), foam paint brush , mod podge and E6000  which can be purchased at any craft store. Step 1: Mix glitter and mod podge and cover candle holders. Let them dry overnight and repeat the previous step. Step 2: glue the two candle holders on top of one another. Let them dry for a couple of hours. Step 3: Glue one plate on top and the bottom, make sure that your plates are level( evenly). Finally display with your favorite perfumes. I hope that you all enjoyed this fun and easy DIY!!!! See you in the next post.
