Wood Signs- Happily Ever After Starts Here

My best friend got married on her dad's farm a couple of weeks ago which gave me the opportunity to make lots of pretty things to make her day the best day it could be!  I made this Pinterest inspired wood sign using wood I bought at Hobby Lobby, I stained it and then used a sharpie paint pen to color in fonts I traced from print outs.  Super easy and super cute. 

Dollar Store Craft

I needed something to put all my junk on my bathroom counter on, so I took a trip to the dollar store to find some plates, bowls and candle sticks.  I probably should have taken a picture of the unpainted dollar store finds, but I forgot.  Sorry.  Everything pictured was just glass plates, bowls and candle sticks.  I sprayed each one individually and then hot glued them together.  After doing that though I think I probably could have just glued them together first and then painted it.  Also I think the next one I do I will use a stronger glue.  This serves it's purpose but I think it could be a bit sturdier.  I'm sure I'll be making more for Christmas that I'll share later.
 Tada!
