{ french flower bucket and linky parties }

while it was doing this outside today

(again...)

i was  inside

doing this

taking an ordinary looking

galvanized bucket filled with my favorite lavender fleurs...

and working a little magic on it

with a paris flower market stencil.

after taping it securely in position

i did a little 'pouncing' with my stencil brush

and added a little french flair!

oooh la la!

tres chic?

i think i spent too many hours checking out all of the 

wonderfully inspiring linky parties

 

and could barely sleep last night

because my mind was whirling with so many wonderful ideas like

fences on my wall

coasters and trivets

an extra extra large chalkboard

french enamel tags

subway art

farmhouse signs

whew!

see what i mean?

i want to try them all!

if you've never visited a linky party,

you're in for a real treat.

(...ummmm...and maybe a couple of sleepless nights? )

 there are A LOT of very talented bloggers out there

who share their God-given crafting talents (and tutorials) on their blogs

which will most certainly inspire you to try your hand at something new!

 

so what craft did you work on today?
