((Much Needed)) Wall Makeover

Geeze..I cannot believe I had such a boring setup for so long. I was workin' with what I had! Some family gave us a few new additions that I painted to match the color setup that I wanted! All I need was some cheap acrylic paint to completely change my living room wall to what I had been wanting. It only cost $4 to mix it up! Let me know what you think.

Home State Love

The latest painting project!


TUTORIAL:

Print a picture of the state you would like. Outline the paper in marker so you will be able to see the lines through the canvas material. 


After that, tape the paper to the back of the canvas and begin tracing the outline of your state on the right side up of the canvas.


Now here comes the best part..the painting! Paint the inside slowly so you don't go outside the lines. I chose mustard yellow for the inside and cream for the outside! 



For the final touches you can add a heart or star on top of your home city and a border around the outside of the canvas! I also did a California one for Wes! This craft is a creative way to have a little touch of home inside your home.

CHOICE

For about a year now I have been a contributor to the CHOICE program. This program donates to  villages in struggling countries. The decision for me to start and to continuously donate to this non-profit organization is an easy one for me. It's so important to help those who are less fortunate, who do not have as many opportunities, and who struggle on the daily to make ends meet. I work for DownEast, so that's how I heard of this organization...but you don't have to work there to contribute! It's so simple! I feel like it is definitely worth your money and time, even just $5 can go a long way for these villages. To learn more about Choice Humanitarian  CLICK HERE.
Thanks everyone :)
