Welcome to my blog! I'm Shawndene and I started this when planning my dream vintage/rustic-inspired wedding, which was on September 17, 2011. I've decided to keep this blog, although I will no longer be posting wedding-related posts (ok, maybe just a few because I can't help myself)! You'll find mostly DIY crafts, baking, who knows what else...anything I'm into for the moment probably :) Please feel free to comment on any of my posts! Thanks for stopping by!

Decoupage

Decoupaging is my new favorite thing!  This project is not wedding related but whatev.  Since O & I decided not to get eachother gifts for our 4 years of dating anniversary (1-pretty much all our $ goes to the wedding & 2-we're gonna have a new anniversary), I thought I'd make him something.  Sometimes I feel bad because our house is a little girly, not too bad, but it is definitely more me than him. 

I had this tray I got from Marshall's a while back for $4 in the bathroom with candles, etc on top and decided to make it a remote control holder for O (we always have 3 remotes on the coffee table scattered about & it drives me crazy) haha, so maybe this is for me, too :) 

The before:

 I cut out clippings of his favorite baseball player and used Mod Podge to glue them down and then added more coats to the top
 This was my first attempt at decoupaging, I think I need to get a roller of some sort to smooth out the wrinkles
 The after:

 So there you have it, we have a non-girly thing in our house...it's still cute though, huh? :)
He loved it!
