DIY Polka Dot Art

DIY art is my favorite. It means no one else has the same piece, and you get to personalize the crap out of it! 

This is a fun DIY project I saw over on a blog called Cinsarah. All you need is a pencil, some paint, and you're set!

Dip the pencil eraser in the paint and dot away.

I used two colors of paint to create an ombré effect.

You could very easily just stop here, mat and frame your piece, and be finished!

However, I didn't have a mat and the piece looked somewhat unfinished, so I decided to add something more.

I love this quote!

And I love polka dots. 

...and birds.

Happy DIYing!

Love Week: Birds

Wondering what Love Week is?

Sigh...it's stolen. I will totally admit it is not my idea. I stole it from a friend {who stole it from someone else} {it's a vicious cycle}.  BUT it's this adorable idea for Valentine's where every day for the week before you post about something you love. 

Who doesn't want a week full of talking about things you LOVE? {eeeek!}

To start with, I love birds.

I'm pretty sure I picked it up from my mom.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about real birds here. I will never, ever, ever, ever have a bird as a pet. Because....yuck.

But fake birds? 

Different story.

Pretty and porcelain.

I think part of the reason I love them so much is because of what they embody~ freedom, singing, sweetness, springtime, happiness.....

I totally love birds.

You guys should jump on board this whole Love Week thing. It kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy....and full of love.
