6 quick projects you can do now!

This has been a week of getting over sickness, being an accountant, making jewelry to fill some orders, meetings and normal life kind of things; not so much house creative stuff. But right before dinner, I remembered this cool vase I spotted at the Dollar Store this week...yes, a dollar! Then as I did last year with some fall colors, I pulled this one out in under three minutes.  And it cost....one dollar.  

Of course I didn't take a picture of the vase before, but you can get the idea.  I liked the texture, and it reminded me of a vase I saw for around $20 last week. 

I don't know yet where it will live, but I love the bright turqoise color....recognize that?  If not...check out this post!  This will be my third project with this little $3 sample of Lowe's paint...project #2 is drying in the basement.

#3: Drop some candy corn (or beans, or dried peas) on a vase and stick a candle in it. Then recycle it at Christmas with some cranberries!  (again, dollar stores are great sources for glasswear!)

 #4: Cut open a pumkin and pop some cool drinks in there: Cannot wait to do this for Halloween!
