I love all your makes, but you must have so many! Do you then sell them at your Booth?
You have FAR more interesting things in your Thrift Shops! I’m so envious of the things you pick up. Plus you have Dollar Tree!!!! Our craft shops are really expensive (UK)
One of my favorites is the lattice board with the roses 🌹 actually both lattice boards. Actually all of the make overs were all beautiful!!❤
I love the music uou use. ❤️
I can't wait to recreate the metal pan wall shelf…beautiful Sherry! THEY ALL ARE!!!
Who could live with all that clutter?
Red roses n the pan beautiful
I think you should keep the wall. Shelf made out of the white iron pan with the red trim
Wooden calendar 😊
I really like the glasses and the butterfly wreath.
Keep the enamel pan♥️
Love the sewing box as a planter❤
Butterfly wreath. Love it! 👍🤗 ❤️
I vote for the enamelware shelf
Loved it all
The next time you want to apply vinyl to glass, look into the "wet" method. It gives you some wiggle room to work out bubbles, or fix wrinkles. Otherwise, great job on these projects!
Keep them all! Love the pan though
Loved glasses
Butterfly wreath
I am so amazed at how creative you are.👍
Beautiful
Those three-leged pots and the butterfly-wreath are beautiful!
And the scrabble-calendar is very cool!
Since I write as I go: The lavender wagon, fern box and glasses aswell! 😁
