Welcome to my little farmhouse! I'm in decorating mode...like most of you probably are. I am working on Valentines for all my sweeties...college age kids...but they still like to receive chocolate...hahaha...and usually a small gift card in a sweet Valentine card. I wanted to do something a little shabby...with a Valentine flavor to it.
And type in:
FREE VINTAGE IMAGES, VALENTINES
FREE VINTAGE IMAGES, ROSES
(Very thrifty decorating.)
These would be an easy and inexpensive way to decorate for a baby shower, wedding shower, birthday party...etc. Fill with candies, small gifts, pencils, little tablets, pkgs. of gum, shower gel, hand cream, lip balm....
I find what I like and print it off onto white or beige cardstock.
Thank you so much for coming by and visiting! Have a blessed day.

These turned out fabulous. Great idea. One year when my kids were younger they did a similar thing for Mother's Day. The teacher had taken photos of all the kids and then decopauged them onto pots. Then there was a plant set inside each one. A very special gift that I'll always keep.
Regarding your comment on my clocks. None of my old ones work and my son once asked me "Why anyone would have so many clocks that don't work. What's the point!" He doesn't get it and either does my husband. The funny thing is both my husband and I are always running late. Do you think that means anything? Maybe a few more clocks that actually work(hahaha).
Enjoy your evening.

I just bought clay pots the other day at Michaels and I wanted to paint them, but I never thought about decoupaging them. I love the idea of putting another image on the back so you can turn them around. Thanks so much for this great idea!

Another great project. Thanks
what a sweet project...and a great gift idea!
Hi Debbie! I just did something very similar on empty spaghetti jars! (0; I'm not quite done with them yet, but almost. I'm not sure when, but I'll post them sometime soon. I've done many terra cotta pots! They are so much fun to do, aren't they?! I like stenciling or free-hand painting too! They make beautiful gifts! ~tina
Another fabulous idea, Debbie! I like that they will work for Valentine's Day and then afterward too. So smart!
Debbie,
Great idea to do different designs on front and back.
Why didn't I think of that? =)
Thanks for coming by
I'm off to see what else is new here.
