Giveaway Friday

Utah Grammie made one of these dry erase tiles, so I thought I would give it my spin.
I painted this using Folk Art Enamel paints. Have you used those paints? They are not the easiest to work with. you can't use any water and it has to dry before you add any other colors. Anyway. I made me one and one to share. This is my GIVEAWAY Please leave me a message I will pick a winner on Monday.
I have to show you this before and after...I put this little shoe on ebay...(the one above) It didn't sell...so I changed it up, added little roses to the nest, Ribbon instead of wire, I made a few little wool flowers. changed the color of glitter on the pins.

AFTER
I just put this on ETSY... Thank you for all your support!!

what a pretty message board! and I love the makeover you did on the shoe, what a neat design, I wish I'd thought of something like that to do with my childrens shoes as a keepsake/craft item. (after I'd bronzed the first ones of course, lol!)

I went to etsy to get the pin cushion and it was already gone! See, I told you to think positive! I love being right! But I would have liked it even more it the cushion was still there. Do you like to use the folk art paints? I like what you normally use-I don't get a kick out of making things more difficult than they already are! But, that being said I think the tile turned out beautiful!
