The "C" Plate

Here are directions to my crafty lady project #2...

I made a fall decorative plate based on inspiration from a craft store I was walking through a couple weeks ago :)

 Supplies Used: Glue gun/Glue Sticks $6
                        Frame/Plate Stand $6
                        Charger Plate $2
                        Scrap book paper $.50
                        Wooden Letter "C" $2
                        Gold Spray Paint (mini can) $3
                        Glittery Jewels (I used 30 total) $3
Time: About 15 minutes :)

I started off by spray painting the letter "C" and while I was waiting for that to dry, I started applying the jewels to the outside of the plate... I cut the scrap book paper to fit into the inside circle of the plate and glued everything down. 

 After the "C" was dry I glued it to the center of the plate and only had to wait a few minutes for that to dry...
 I placed it on the stand and here ya go!  {The flash on my camera makes it look really bright in the picture below}

I put the plate in our kitchen, and I love seeing it there!  It adds a little touch of fall to that room in our home :) 

What's going on today???  Of course errands and getting some projects accomplished.  This week seemed to be long and exhausting for whatever reason.  I have laundry going and have already cleaned up the house {thank goodness!} 

Last night we attended the rehearsal dinner of one of Dan's good friends, his college roommate!  I got to know him really well when Dan and I first started dating... {Dan is a groomsmen in the wedding Saturday, and I cannot wait to see my hubby in a tux! yum! :)} I love watching the wedding planning come together, and seeing the excitement of the bride & groom as their wedding day is fast approaching as well as the families coming together is such a blessing! 

Low key night around here tonight, and then the big day tomorrow!
