Old Made New

So we have this beautiful lantern in our front yard, however, it is a hideous pink color--sorry for all you pink lovers, I have never been a fan.

So we made a trip to the hardware store this morning and got some spray paint. Black Textured Metallic for the basic color and Metallic Champagne Mist for the accent color. We are gonna do all our outdoor fixtures, and I will post those too. What a difference a fresh coat of paint makes!

The Making of Tedyada

We have a friend "Ted" and he has a great sense of humor and he and my husband get each other "gag" gifts for their birthdays, so this year my husband decided to make Ted a Pinata. I don't know what was more fund the making of the Tedyada or the breaking of it:

 Make the "frame" out of cardboard.

 Shred newspaper for paper mache.

 Tedyada is formed!

 Paper mache head.

 One side finished!

 Tedyada!

 Cardboard chest with hole for candy/goodies to get them inside!

 Cardboard for Tedyadas face.

Here is Tedyada....just needs paint!
