Meet Gilda & FD Gift #3

LINKY PARTY IS UP TODAY! Please, go add your favorite creations and become a FROG Favorite!

Have you all met my best friend Gilda? I love Gilda with everything that I have. She has been there for me whenever I need her for the 12+ years. I must admit she has seen better days and will soon be laid to rest, I am afraid but I wanted you all to meet her at least one time before that happened.



Here she is! Isn't she a beaut? She is laying on her

blankie. She refuses to go any where without it. She

says it is for safety so she does not burn anything but I

think she feels more comfortable with it under her.

Here is Gilda with her babies. I tell you what those little

boogers sure to disappear but I always bring her more

so she does not feel so alone.

(HAHAHAHAHA)

OKAY LET'S CRAFT!

LOVE MY SPRAY PAINT! I bought one of those

giant paper mache letters. I am not sure the size

but here it is after I painted that BIG boy!

Beautiful, huh?

I also bought this at Michael's w/ a 50% off coupon

and my loyalty card. If you don't have a loyalty card

you should get one. Unfortunately, then you can look up online

just EXACTLY (down to the penny) how much you have

spent with them. It ain't pretty folks!!!

I traced my letter on the wrong side, cut, and

then Gilda helped me glue on all of that moss.

I would have taken pics for you all but

my hands were SUPER busy and I am sure

Gilda would have been jealous. Don't tell her this

but I do not think she likes the camera AT ALL!

Now I am hanging this puppy in the house, which

you will see later this week (fingers crossed). So, I

sealed it with a clear coat and this...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(That is my evil laugh! Scary, huh?)

I told you, I would never, ever, Ever, EVER

mention another spray paint. Unfortunately, my brand

does not make glitter spray paint. I did request it that  they

start though!

ANY WHO, After I sealed it with the clear, I added glitter

and

TAAAAA-DAAAAAAAAAA!

Well, that does not look very good does it.

the clear kind of gave it a frosted look. I DO NOT

LIKE! So, I headed back to the store for more glitter

and now my GINORMOUS 'R' is beautiful!!!

See?

Does this remind anyone else of the movie Legend?

(Anyone remember that movie?? Tom Cruise and a

unicorn?)

So, how did I do? I am sure that you can go out and google this and find a TON of tutorial. I saw a pic of one on a website and thought it was soooo cool but I cannot not remember where. Any way, we all know how much I love follow directions. SOOOOO, I just made it up as I went along. Now, go make one! I want to see!

TODAY, is a HUGE day here in Frog Blog land. Linky Party #1 Feature! Linky Party #2 Should be up and ready! I hope it goes as planned this time! Another America the beautiful post is heading out the keyboard shortly.AND this beautiful post!
