Spazzy Love

I don't decorate for all holidays.
I actually don't know many people who jazz up their places for every holiday.
But I do the big ones...Christmas...St. Patrick's day....
I try not to pass along my disdain for certain things on to the kid, so I play along with society.
I send treats to school for holidays I wish would disappear from my calendar.
And I hang a little something on the door for each occasion.

This little number has been in my collection for a few years and I've never really liked it.
I think I bought it because it was $2 at the Michaels.
Each year I put it up and shudder.
Ugh...glitter....Ugh...love....Ugh...cheesy

And then it came to me a couple days ago...
Hello Simone...alter it!

It's not like I don't own just a few supplies that could easily be used to alter this little sign.
I don't really know why I didn't think of it sooner.
So I whipped out my Creative Imagination rubon skulls and such and went to town.
Now, if you have one of these little signs from the craft stores, the paint on them is very slick, so when you are applying the rubons, it requires a lot of patience and care.
But they worked perfectly and now the little sign that used to give me hives just looking at it is the thing that makes me smile when I come home each day.
It's still Valentiney...but in my own special way.

Lesson learned: Just because you don't LOVE something, it can always be altered so that you do!
