Which meant A LOT OF QUICK PLANNING. What do we want our booth to look like, colors we wanted, items we were selling...etc! It was so much fun though. I love goofing off, while having a serious goal in mind. ;) Also, finding Christmas gifts while you're out is P E R F E C T.
We were walking around and saw the spray paint isle --
"LOOK GOOOOLDDDD SPPPRAAYY PAAINT."
*nods* *points at my sister* that's her. Everything with gold sparkles and she'll adore it.
Within seconds we had declared that we could spray paint Christmas lights, old books, leaves, pine cones...like..everything??? *laughs*
So, we stop at our library on the way home, where they have been giving out free books. We walked up to the door and Bree said something to me which I didn't process, and just as I opened the door, I got what she said and..... burst. into. laughter.
#irepeat
JUST AS I OPENED THE DOOR I LAUGHED. IN A LIBRARY. The librarian looked at me, gave me this look of "why are you laughing?" and I couldn't help it, I giggled again. o.O
librarian : "Are you girls laughing in the library???"
me : "uhhmm... yess??"
librarian : *laughs*
me : *sigh of relief*
Sarah and I then spent a looooonggg time taping each and every light bulb on the sting of lights. Bree painted them AND THEY TURNED OUT SO COOL. Then, we go inside to show my mom, plug them in and only 1/4 of the lights turn on. o.O #shouldatriedthemfirst #ohwell
and yes, we probably spray painted over 30 leaves. heehee! THEY WERE SO FUN THO xD
btw, thanksgiving?? ITS IN 3 DAYS *nervous laughter*

Love your spray painting idea!! #needtotrythat Those leaves look absolutely fantastic. But what a bummer the lights didn't work! :( All right, I've gotta say those books are my favorite though. <3 <3 Give me one!
ReplyDeleteSophie xx
The leaves were my favorite. I stapled them to the barn wall at the booth this weekend - can't wait for that post! uhhggg...i know. :P BUT I'm going to try them again sometime ;) Hehee! Come on over - I've got a bunch now!
DeleteOH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS, JULIA! THOSE BOOKS...GAHHHH AND THE LIGHTS
ReplyDeleteI KNOW GIRL THE BOOKS ARE SO PRETTY!!!! I love how they caught the light in the photo just right. SO PRETTY
DeleteDUDE THAT IS A BRILLIANT IDEA. We're having a Thanksgiving dinner and I was trying to think of decor ideas and spray painting leaves is so brilliant like i would seriously do it.
ReplyDeleteExcept I have absolutely no idea where the spray paint is in the carnival of boxes that need unpacked yet. Oops. (also why did i just say carnival even)
DUDE YOU GOTTA DO IT THEN! You could even get silver spray paint or something..idk, just look around for some different stuff. Now I want to get Christmas-y colors XD
Deleteyou've got spare spray paint in one of your carnival of boxes?!?! *laughs bc carnival is fun to say*
I haven't actually spray painted before, I have only painted by hand which can be quite tedious when you're painting a wagon. Like, a wagon a horse would pull. XD But your projects came out beautiful and I enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, I am in the Christmas mood. At work we're prepping for Christmas and we made lots of wreaths this week, over thirty of them. Tomorrow we'll cut some more trees and finish decorating, and we'll be ready to open on Friday for Christmas tree season. Fun and lots of work, so I am ready for Christmas. But, I'm excited for Thanksgiving because I am so excited to draw names and find who I'm buying a present for. :)
Enjoyed your post and glad I'm following your blog, its very professional and I like it! :)
Wow, that had to of been so fun! I do sooooooo many painting projects - it's crazy. :P But, fun. ;)
Deletewoooooowwwww 30 wreaths?!!?!?! That's crazy! I love fun work tho ;)

yesssss, totally. It's funny, cuz the "back" of the leaf, too the spray paint well, whereas the "front" did not. So, just keep that in mind ;)
