Lots of pretty colors.

When ever we get a chance to get out of town one of the things I love to do while there is visit the antique and thrift shops. I absolutely love to do this. And if I can, I get some yard sales in too. I love anything old, used, vintage, or antique. Here are a few pictures of color I got at some of those places.

Floating glass balls.


Fiesta dishes.


More Fiesta.


And one thing that my husband loves to do is to go anywhere hot rod/car show related. These are shifter knobs my friends. Pretties there too. (Actually cars are very photogenic, and I love taking photos of them.)

DIY Ring Toss Game

Friday, January 22, 2010

11 comments
This is one of the games I made for my son's last birthday party. It started out as a surf theme but ended up being more boardwalk because there were just so many more activities that we were able to incorporate. This game is fairly easy to make.

I choose Tejava tea bottles because I liked the size. Dumped the tea in a pitcher and put in the fridge. Peel labels, wash and dry.

Next I painted the inside of the bottles. This step could be optional but I wanted them to be colorful. I tried several paints and techniques but spray paint seemed to work best!

I had the wooden 7up box (cause I like old/secondhand stuff and just seem to have things like this laying around.) I found the rings at the dollar store in the summertime over with the seasonal pool game/toy isle.

I gave the guests tickets to play games and each one won a prize when they played.

If you are planning any party's this year what theme are you going with? And what are your ideas for that.

This post on Joy' s Hope really makes me laugh! And I know it's because I am in CA too and know exactly what she is talking about. And let me just say that she is not exaggerating at all. 3 or 4 days of a mild winter storm and we panic. So funny Julie, thanks for making me laugh.

Ella's Bear

Monday, January 11, 2010

3 comments
Ella's Bear has been successfully moved to our yard! Thanks to the hard work of my awesome husband. His (my husband) mom Ella, well she loved bears. And before she passed away she planted this bear bush in her yard. With the recent talk of my father-in-law and step mom in-law moving, my hubby knew he wanted this bear. He asked his dad and he said yes. It's a good thing because had he said no he would have woke one morning to find this baby gone. Really!

So now she sits in our yard right by the front entrance. She is good size at about 3 feet tall. We are now keeping our fingers crossed that she takes to the move and will continue to thrive. She is a sweet reminder of Ella. Check her out!

New Site

Monday, January 4, 2010

No comments
Hi there! Just wanted to invite you to come check out the new site. I tried having it here on blogger. But blogger's not very user friendly when trying to use it like a website instead of a blog. So check out the new Cap Creations site. I will soon be adding more custom pieces and in the future I hope to add other products that are handmade by myself. As for this blog, wellllllllllll, I'm gonna use it like a blog. So you may see some changes here and from time to time you will be hearing from me. Maybe more often than you like. he-he! Thanks for reading. Talk to you soon with some fun stuff!
