Paper + Tea = Lovely

I am a self confessed paper-holic!
and my addiction is fuelled every so often with a visit to my favourite little Paperie.


I just love the stuff,
to the point I've glued some scrapbooking squares to my daughters' bedroom walls....

....and filled my house making delightful fleur poms for almost every occasion that passes by, from birthdays and baby showers, to engagements and women's conferences, plus some more 'just because'....

I've made music birds,

and cute owls,

and covered some candles,

and cake boards,

and then last night covered some tea tins too...

Who would have thought paper could ever be quite so lovely?!!


Yes it's true, I'm a paper-holic 
and proud of it!

cupcakes & coffee tables

I love a weekend project & this weekend was no different! I headed up to the shops to buy stuff to make cupcakes for Miss Delight's 5th Birthday Celebrations & came back with a coffee table! 
A good find I thought, 
second-hand from the RSPCA Op-Shop, solid timber & in need of a little TLC. 
I was afraid Mr Bright Spark may not see it's potential & it certainly wasn't love at a first sight in his opinion, but after a busy weekend of Birthday Parties, inspiring Leadership Meetings and the only place to be on Sunday, he came in at the end of the day to sit on the lounge & was pleasantly surprised at the finished product. 
I was pleasantly relieved that it could stay!!!


So here it is, 

 Before

 me giving it a sand

 Miss Sunshine & Mr Loveable painting it white,

then we painted pale blue over the top & rubbed it back a bit

 Home Sweet Home

 Perfect!

Oh & the cupcakes were made too...

(with the best company in the kitchen!!)

Yum!
