Hangin' It Up

I hope that you had a blessed Thanksgiving holiday
surrounded by loving friends and family!
I counted my blessings
and YOU are certainly one of them.
Thank you all for your kind words and sweet friendship!

Yeah....I love ya MUCH more than this.....

Now....the diet begins in earnest
[ugh...]
as well as a bunch of Christmas crafting!


Sooooo.....

got some plain, old, boring wooden hangers hangin' around...?

How about prettying them up a bit?

They'd make great Christmas gifts.

or....




you could just keep them for yourself.

I purchased these at a local grocery store.

Paint the hangers with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Pure White" and let dry
(which as you know, takes only a whisker of time).

Take out a pretty filigree stamp, and with your gray stamp pad

stamp it at the center of the hanger where the arch is.

Then, lay a piece of paper towel across the lower portion of the hanger.
You don't want any wayward stamping down there.

Take your favorite French script stamp,
(you could use a pretty music stamp, too)
and with a different color ink,
stamp over your filigree impression.

Spray the hanger with a clear matte spray sealer for protection.

{I went back and painted the hook part of the hanger

because I didn't like the bright silver.}

Ahhh.....

much better.

A pretty, vintage JDA inspired hanger.

I stamped a couple with my favorite little bird's nest, too.

Now....


go hang up something pretty ~


on a rack made from a piece of old trim and vintage wire hooks


that you made yourself, too.  :)

Hook rack painted in ASCP 'Old White'.

And stand back and smile.


You did well, my friend.

Have a wonderful creative day!
