Spring Banner Tutorial - Show and Tell Friday




Welcome to Show and Tell Friday! 



Someone left a comment a couple weeks ago and asked how I made my banners so I thought I would put together a quick tutorial on how I do it.



It's fairly easy.  The hardest part is finding letters that aren't too thick and heavy.  Sometimes I have to go to a couple craft stores to find the right ones.  They can be wood or cardboard, either will work.

Spring Mantel - Show and Tell Friday






Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I took down my Valentine mantel and put up a Spring mantel.  I didn't add all my Easter décor yet so I can update it later when we get closer to Easter.








I added my nest collection...











...and I made a "Nest" banner.  I wanted to spell out "Spring" but they were out of the letter "i" so I decided to go with "Nest".  Next week I'll do a

Valentine's Day Mantel




 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I'm sharing my mantel all decorated for Valentine's Day!





 

I pulled out some of my pink china to decorate.

 

 



 

I went to two stores looking for mini pink roses but I couldn't find any.  Last Sunday I went to the farmer's market and found some pink mini carnations.  I'm not usually into carnations but I thought these were really cute!

Valentine's Day is coming - Show and Tell Friday





 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is next week!  I've had the urge to get all my pink things out and decorate but I just haven't had the time!  This week I'm sharing some Valentine inspiration from past years.




 

I sold this hutch about a year ago when I moved because I didn't have room for it.  Every time I see photos of it I miss it!  It

Healthy Breakfast - Show and Tell Friday


 



 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  This week I decided to share the breakfast recipe that I've been eating the past couple of weeks!  They are veggie, egg white cups.

 



 

I don't really use a recipe though. I just take some veggies...this time I used spinach, mushrooms red and green peppers and green onions.

 




 

I chop up the mushrooms and peppers and saute them in a non-stick

Show and Tell Friday




 

Hi all, welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  I'm late getting this post up this week.  I usually have it up by 6pm PT on Thursdays but it's been a busy week and I've got my second case of bronchitis. I finally just got over the one I got Thanksgiving weekend and now it's back again! 

 

I have nothing new to share so it's all about you this week! Share away!

The Painted Mirror - Show and Tell Friday






 

Welcome to Show and Tell Friday!  About a week ago I painted the mirror over my fireplace.





 

I used some white paint I already had on hand and then used some Rub 'n Buff in turquoise to highlight the design.  The turquoise was a little too bright so I went over it with some white Rub 'n Buff to lighten it up.  It made a big difference!  I thought I remembered getting a French Blue
