DIY Easter Napkins

It was very strange putting together an Easter post in the middle of a snowstorm last week! The snow may be all melted now....but when I was writing this post, we were 'snowed in'!

Thrift Store Clock Makeover

It's fun to let friends share their DIY projects from time to time. So today I have my friend Lindsay from My Creative Days with one of her original projects.Welcome Lindsay!

Hello, DIY Beautify readers! My name is Lindsay and I write the blog My Creative Days. I am happy to be here to share my thrift store clock makeover with you. I am obsessed with DIY, repurposing and upcycling. I love decorating our home with treasures I have picked up and made over to work in our space. A few weekends ago, I scored this great clock at a thrift store.



I really liked the shape of this clock and all the potential it had.



 The "insets" on the top and bottom are a perfect opportunity to change and make more visually appealing.



This makeover was very easy. I painted the clock black. Then, I popped the plastic Roman numeral off the bottom and added some pretty paper.



 I Mod Podged the paper in both the top and bottom "insets" of the clock.



This clock looks totally different and only took about an hour to complete. That is the perfect kind of makeover in my eyes! :-)



I hope you have enjoyed this easy Thrift Store Clock Makeover. You can find more of my creative projects on my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and G+ !

Well, I've found a simple way to one-up the rotisserie...

To run or Not to run...

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and DripDrop®, but all opinions on running, not running and DripDrop are my own.

So...confession time.

I can't run. Yep, I own running shoes....but I don't run in them! They are great shoes for standing all day baking chocolate chip cookies (my other part time job!)

I've always admired long distance runners who are able to propel their bodies forward for miles at a time. They make it look effortless.

I've tried to run. Several years ago Mr DIY and I decided we'd go for a run every morning. It was going to be our 'thing'. I bought new running shoes, cute little stretchy shorts
