Krylon, Take Me Away!
I think I {may} be on the verge of quite possibly becoming addicted to spray paint{ing}.
It is the quickest, easiest, cheapest way to transform almost anything.
It all started when I spray painted the glass candle holders to make some little candy/snack dishes for Elliott’s upcoming party as seen again here…
I love them and they have perked up our mantel for Spring. I had visions of jelly beans in the little one and daffodils in the big one and haven’t gotten around to picking up either.
{btw, the color is krylon [pumpkin orange]}
Then, this past weekend we went to Lowe’s and I picked up another can of instant happiness and got busy yesterday morning…
{color is valspar [exotic sea]}
Keeping with the nature, outdoorsy theme of Elliott’s party, I have been collecting pine cones and branches on my Tuesday/Thursday morning hikes. Elliott even spotted a couple nice sturdy, long twigs down in San Diego last week.
I think they will add an organic, yet chic {and not to mention inexpensive} look to the outdoor festivities.
The aqua twigs will be fun on the mantel through summer, too. They also take on sort of a beachy feel.
Twigs and branches like these would be gorgeous during the holidays in silver or gold…oh man, I am already thinking about Christmas!
If you need some spunk or pop of color in your casa or backyard, grab a can of spray paint, shake, press with your index finger and watch the transformation take place.
And oh how I love the sound of the ball clanking around inside the can when you shake it!

Ha! Love the title of your post. There is very little that can make me as instantly satisfied and happy as spray paint when crafting. And LOVE that turquoise color!!
I do believe I am going to have to make me some of that Ginger Sangria this week as well. It’s our Spring Break…so I think it is in order! =)

Okay, question for you. I know you have lots of ideas for upcoming parties, decorations, etc. So do you have a notebook or some place you write down all the ideas? Just curious. I’m always interested in how people organize things.

Erin, yes! you simply must make a batch {or two} on your Spring Break! 😉 Sooooo simple!
Leah, I am a freak show when it comes to these little parties for my kiddos! Yes, I have a little journal that I jot down EVERYTHING from food to guest list to where I saw things on the internet…I already have Holden’s 5th b-day theme locked and loaded and, yes, I already have ideas of menu and games and decor! Seriously, I need help! I jot down where I see things if I am not ready to pick them up just yet ~ things that I know they keep in stock and will have down the road. My house may not be organized, but I know what I want to do for Holden’s party TEN months down the road! 😉

I’ve yet to venture into this spray painting world that you speak of. But I have a feeling I will be soon… 🙂 Those aqua twigs are amazing!
