Meta Monday

Just some simple things for my MM post this week. Check out Between Naps on the Porch for lots of incredible ideas by some of the most creative ladies around.

I finally found the perfect thing to use for tacks on my study bulletin board--magnets! I found them at OfficeMax, along with a bunch of other b/w stuff for my study.

I glued flat backed tacks onto the magnets with a glue gun. If I ever want to use them as magnets I can just remove the glue. Easy!

Ta-da! The finished product.

Another one. Cute!!

I wish I had taken a picture of the before on this one. I got this topiary on clearance for $3.00 at Marshall's because some of the sticks were loose under the ball, so it leaned to the right. I whipped out my trusty glue gun and glued them back in place. The pot was unpainted terra cotta. I just had to pretty her up to go in my study. I tied some black ribbon at the top and painted the pot white. Originally I planned to paint large checks on the pot, but I changed my mind and added dots instead. It still need something, so I went digging in my ribbon bag and found the perfect girly fluff to finish it off. Isn't she cute?

My last metamorphosis is my "Bunny on a Stick" post from Thursday (below). It's the same container I used for my Christmas arrangement.

Can't wait to visit all the other MM posts!

Happy Decorating!
