so tired.

Being a mom is the hardest and most amazing experience in the world. Here it is 1:25 am and I'm tip toeing around the house because I can finally have some me time. The trouble is I'm so tired I don't know what to do. I want to paint or make something. Instead I end up doing dishes and picking up toys. I am exhausted. Mentally, physically and somewhat spiritually.

Vinyl chalk decals!!!

Many, many months ago, maybe even last summer, I bought this spice rack at a friend's yardsale. It was brown and had all these cool glass spice bottles inside. It was very dusty and some of the bottles were stained, but I just knew I could make it the spice rack of my dreams. So, finally, many many months, maybe a year later, I painted it and found these awesome vinyl chalk labels to put on the bottles. It took a while but I filled the bottles with dried spices from my garden. Here is the result.



You can find these awesome decals at http://www.etsy.com/shop/chalkandtalk .
They are an awesome shop on etsy with tons of decals to choose from and if you purchase their chalk marker I can tell you it works wonderfully. I highly recommend going there. Another great shop to buy larger decals from is http://www.etsy.com/shop/LetsTalkChalk . I got this fridge decal from them
 
I ordered the larger chalk markers off of ebay. Whew, baby is awake so that's all I can post now, at least I got that much done...!
