LMLIM Week 2 | DIY Vase

It's DIY day and I went with a project that Talia could help me with.  I loved this vase when I saw it in the pages of All You Magazine and thought,

I had to buy the vase. 

  seems simple enough....yeah well er.  LOL  No actually it is pretty simple to do but I of course was in a tad bit of a rush so I think I'm going to retry it this weekend.  All in all the steps are easy and if the kids are looking for a cute gift to give Grandma or some other special mother this is a great one.  Just add some fresh flowers and viola.  It's pretty cost effective too.  One thing I did do was save on the Mod Podge at Walmart.  It rang up over $5.00 but when I showed the cashier the price from the article I had she changed it to $2.00 #SingleMamaDollas Lovs it!  The price for the tissue paper was a bit more than they listed but hey I live in Cali.  So my cost was around $6.50.

This is a great project to do with your daughter and let your creativity flow.  The possibilities of color combination, placement and adding bling are endless.  One tip from me is:  Watch your brush strokes.  It might be better to use a sponge brush as suggested but I couldn't find one.  The Mod Podge goes on pretty thick and needs to be spread quickly.

I love this Chevron print...it's so NOW!

Whatchu Doin Wednesday - Things are Blooming

It's March and things are really BLOOMING!  One of my social media girlfriends is doing something really cool for the month of March too!  She's calling it March in Bloom!  Every week @Mika_Joi (IG Handle) places a new floral arrangement in her home near her most creative space.  I absolutely love this idea and stopped by Von's and picked up my "bloom" for the week.  They are a pretty dyed spyder mum in orange and white - talk about being creative!  I hope you'll try her idea this month and let your creativity bloom.  Check out her YouTube vid on March in Bloom and be sure to subscribe for even more inspiration and creative things to do in your life.  Post pictures of your flowers on Twitter and IG and use the hashtag #MarchInBloom and don't forget to tag me (@curvymomager) and Mika!

With Style,
