Brilliant! Freebie!

While I'm dreaming about recieving a pay check. I'm planning how to be smart about being a good steward of my money. I have not been a good steward of my money and, while I had a mind to saving for my future. I didn't use it as a goal.

Anyway I found this really nifty printable diy envelopes for envelope budgeting. I feel like I need to cut my debit card out of my life.

Love 'em

How to Make Your Own Golden Stemless Goblets

In preparation for our Purim Celebration-or Valentines Day- I want to equip you with some inexpensive, decorative projects and crafts to set your table and beautify your house.

I LOVE Life:Beautiful magazine. I think the photography is absolutely gorgeous. It's full of eye candy.

Our project today is inspired by the table setting featured in their Celebrate Love table setting. You can download the lovely printables for this month from their website as well.

For a set of four, this project cost me a total of $7.

Materials:

Glasses you are going to use

Gold Spary Paint

Masking Tape or painters Tape

Paper long enough to cover the top of your glasses.

Step 1. 

Wrap the upper half of the glass with newspaper/tissue paper or paper towels.

Be sure to cover the opening and lip of the glass to make sure spray paint doesn't  enter the consumption area. 

Step 2. 

Tape the paper to the glass with the painters tape. 

Make sure there is a tight seal between the paper and the tape.

Step 3

Lightly spray one a coat over the bottom of the glass.

*be careful about spraying more than a coat, the gold pattern looks cool, 

if your tape isn't sealed tight it will just look like a mess.*

Let the paint dry.

Step 4

Take the tape and the paper off and voila! Beautiful!
