Anyway - I won't bore you with our choring but rather show you a cutsie little design element that I've added to our living room!!

A friend graciously gave us a fantastic kitchen table so our old tiny one has become a "show off" table - as I refer to it in our living room. You know, a place to show off photos, memorabilia, knick-knacks, etc. My hubby and I have been going through really OLD photos and scanning them in. So we now have this fantastic stack of old photos that I didn't just want to put away back in their bins...I wanted to show them off!! So I foraged around for a cool, vintage looking flower pot that had a nice patina to it to place them in. I put them in an arrangement with 2 other bowls. One holding yarn the other holding some sparkly nonsense that just looks cute. But it was lacking something. Something that said... COME AND LOOK AT ME!!!
So I set to work creating a little decoration that would catch people's eye enough to draw them over.

The new chipboard Owl set that I bought from SU! was just the buddy that I needed!!!

I sparkled up her eyes and twinkled up her little cute mouth with both silver and pink arts and crafts glitter. She deserved fabulous wings that I stamped using the SU! Wing It set - they were also heat embossed. And of COURSE she needed a fancy crown so I made her one!! Also from the SU! Wing It set. Lastly, she needed her toes painted...of COURSE!! So I dipped her little feet in Raspberry colored craft ink and heat set those as well. They came out extra cute!!!
And then she needed a perch!! Which also, conveniently, came with the chipboard set. I grabbed the vine out of the cardboard set and heavily coated it in a Moss Green craft in and covered it in my extra thick embossing powder and heat set it. It came out exactly as I envisioned it!!

I used my hot glue gun to adhere the two together so that they could perch perfectly on the edge of the vintage pot.
