Vintage Wheels: Thrifty Sneak Peeks!

That sunshine I mentioned?...

well it turned to rain.

{how dare it!}

Party prep projects were moved indoors.  

{ahh well}

I thought it would be fun to 

share a few sneak peeks with you

of projects I have been working on this past week!

I will add tutorials later on.  

{my favorite}

This artwork I created using 

acrylic paints, burlap, 

tires from a wounded plasma car,

new spray painted washers,

and a #2 I found at Meijer while grocery shoppin'.  

Total about $5.00

Still have a few things to finish up on it,

can't wait to finish.

{so what am I doing on here-grin?!}

{our pretty new-to-us tray tier}

Total $5.00, not including spray paint or adhesive

inspired by this one.
I love that the middle tray is different,
it has some beautiful etching, I'll try to get a better picture.
A few days after I found it, I found a matching
serving tray at another Goodwill...fate!

-and-

{picture frame redo into framed chalkboard}

Total $3.00 frame, already had chalkboard paint.

All found at Goodwill.

{four wooden candlestick holders}

These were all found together,

meant-to-be,

turning into cakestands for the boys' little cakes!!

Just sitting waiting for me to work on them...

{hi, remember us?!}

They were $1.00 each from Goodwill.

{new sign, leaving the rest a surprise!}

Created from those same acrylic paints, wood, and some homemade stencils. 

{if you are coming to the party, don't share the next 2 with the kiddos, smile}

Our Toys 'R Us is going out of business.

{40% off all toys, oh darn!}

E and I took a trip there, 

restrained ourselves majorly,

but did pick up some items for the 

birthday boys a game and ramp for E.

These hot wheel cars for favors, 

about 65 cents each. 

I even found some with the number 2!

And favor bags,

paper bags we had,

some bakers twine I ordered

from Garnish, along with a few other items.

The lovely stickers

I ordered from my new friend Andrea's ETSY shop, 

Where The Green Grass Grows.

They highlight each of my boys and 

the 4 vehicles incorporated into their party...

Red Double Decker Bus, Train, Racecar and Trike

{so fun, right?!}

I hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday!

Over and out,
I have some little guys calling me...!
