My newly painted lamp shade!!!

Back on June 26th in this post, I mentioned that me and my fiance went to Goodwill and I found a lamp. Well, I didn’t like the colors of it. It was purple (which is my favorite color) and green. I don’t hate the color green, but I just don’t like the combination of purple and green. Here is what the lamp looked like before.
Like I said before, the green just wasn’t doing it for me. So I got some paint and decided to paint over the green with pink!
I love how it turned out!!! It would be perfect for a little girls’ room!!! This lamp is the only decorative thing we have in our room now, but it looks great!!! You know what would be perfect? To save this lamp for when I have a little girl!! I could give her a whole room filled with purple and pink things, starting with this lamp!!!
So, what do you think? This is the first item I’ve ever fixed up so let me know how I did!!

And don’t forget that I’m only 32 followers away from having another giveaway!!! I’m going to see how many of my current followers can refer new followers to my blog. Here’s how it’s going to work:
When you refer someone, have them email me telling me that they were referred by you. And make sure they tell me your name or it won't count. Once I get to 300 followers, I will see who has the most referrals and then the top 3 will get to fill out the entry option on the Rafflecopter form called "Refer a friend", which will be worth 3 entries. I will be sure to email those 3 people so they can do that entry. And if anyone fills out that entry that isn't one of the top 3, I will delete those entries. I hope you all have fun with this and good luck!!!!

My class is finally over!!!!

My class ended tonight and I am pleased to say that my unofficial grade is an 86%!!! I say unofficial because grades won’t be posted for a few weeks. But with my calculations, it comes out to an 86%!!!! That puts me at a B which makes me happy!!! Now I don’t know what I’m going to do on Tuesday and Thursday nights. It’s going to be so weird on Tuesday when I don’t have to leave at 4:00 to go to class. Maybe I can use that time to clean up the house a little bit, do dishes, blog…oh the possibilities are endless!!!

On my way home from class I stopped at Acmoore. I wanted to get some more supplies for my Etsy shop,  Nicole's Creations. I also bought more paint so now I have all of the basic colors. Go check out what I’ve got and leave me any suggestions on anything you’d like to see me attempt to make.

Oh, bought some stuff to make a coupon binder so I’m going to finish making that and then I will post about that tomorrow!! Have a great rest of your night everyone!!!

Etsy Shop

I decided a little bit ago that I wanted to try to make and sell something on Etsy. So for the past week, I’ve been trying to figure out what I wanted to make. I finally came up with something…painted wood pieces. So, I got some supplies and I made two pieces and I have them up for sale in my shop on Etsy, which I named “Nicole’s Creations”. I’m going to allow buyers to fully customize and personalize every piece I sell so that they can add names, dates, initials, etc. I will also have stencils available to choose from and the colors can be completely customized. I’m not sure how this is going to work out but I’m willing to give it a try. If you run an Etsy shop and have some advice you could give me, I’d be happy to hear it! Check out my shop and spread the word!!!

Right now these are the only two items to choose from, but as my shop gains some business, I will put up more choices to choose from.
