You may have heard that Minnesota got a "little" snow yesterday. A little early for most considering our winter was so VERY long last year. I decided to make the most of it and finish up a project that has been in my head for a while...
I purchased a few of these rustic apple basket lids at the Junk Bonanza in September. The first thing I saw was a snowflake. Do you see it too?
I took a sponge brush and some white craft paint and literally slapped it on. Keeping with the "rustic", perfectly/imperfect look that I love.
Then I used letter stamps to add a first snow "appropriate" words...
I "wonder" why it had to snow so soon ;)
Actually, when you live with these 2 happy kiddos...how can you not find...
JOY...
...and DELIGHT in the WONDER of the first snow?
Especially when that results in a "Snow Day" off from school :)
You might also remember the basket lids turned chalkboard signs I made last fall.
(See that idea and more FALL junk HERE.)
What do you think?
Does the snow inspire you to "cozy up" and do some projects?

As cute as it can get! But not as cute as the kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI love your basket lid snowflakes...such a cute idea! Looks like you got more than just a little snow. That would be considered a lot of snow here in northern Virginia.

ReplyDeleteNo way! Those are so cute! I have about ten of those sitting in my garage just collecting dust and spiders when I could have been making "cool" snowflakes with them. Great idea!!! BTW, the Buckeyes are coming up that way this weekend. Can you make it a little bit warmer for them?
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of an apple basket lid before, but that I have…. I want like 10 of them! I love how super easy, rustic and gorgeous this project is. Great idea :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Laurel! They look great with the chalkboard too!
ReplyDeleteI thought of a snowflake as soon as I saw white. Great idea.

Great projects and idea, I love it :) Thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteIt feels like winter here, we received only a sprinkling of snow but it was 19 degrees this morning. I think the little ones are adorable and I'm sure they welcomed the snow. Love your chalkboard.

I do see snowflakes and I love what you did with these. So darn creative as always. I won't be holding my breath for a snow day around here, but I can certainly see why your little ones were happy! Thanks so much for sharing with Vintage Inspiration Party.
