The Pinterest Project: Vases!

This has been such a great week! On Monday, Sean and I went for a run after work and it made me realize that I NEED to start training for a half marathon again because I'm so out of shape right now! On Tuesday, Hootie got a haircut and now looks like Paris Hilton's dog (see picture below). On Wednesday, I went to the Farm Progress Show for work, which was AWESOME. Pioneer was everywhere! Sean and I then went to the Funny Bone with our friends Amy and Adam and had a great time. If you've never seen Brad Williams do stand up before, PLEASE look it up on YouTube. Hilarious! Today, I worked a half day and then went with some co-workers to volunteer at Meals From the Heartland. We packaged over 26 boxes of meals that will be shipped to feed families all over the world. Needless to say, it's been an awesome week and there is a 3 day weekend AND Cyclone football on Saturday!!!

"Enamel Painted Glass"

My attempt:

Last year, I bought a few clear glass bottles at a garage sale for about 10 cents each and have had them sitting on my dresser. I wasn't crazy about them because they weren't very clear and were tough to clean. I came across this DIY project and had to try it to make my vases into something that I love. Not only was this super easy, but I now love my vases! I bought a small container of sample paint from Menards and I only spent about $2.50 for the sample. I love that you can get a small sample of any color paint that you need for that cheap! It makes my Pinterest ideas way more affordable. Long story short, I love my vases now and they cost me less than $3!
