HOME is where the Heart is

I took advantage of some free time I had this weekend and got to finish a couple projects that I had been wanting to work on.  We had a space in our entryway that needed some decorating. The top of the storage unit was just too bare and needed a little something to prevent it from becoming a drop zone for clutter.

Here is what I came up with.....

I purchased the wood letters and base from Michaels, they were white so I used some craft paint and painted the letters and stand black.  I had traced the letters on the back of some heavier weight scrapbook paper and cut them out prior to painting.
Once the letters were dry, I used Mod Podge to stick the paper on the wood letters.  I put a thin layer of mod podge directly on the painted letter and then placed the paper on the letter.  I painted an additional two coats of mod podge over the paper and let i dry,
This was defintely a quick and easy project, the longest part was waiting for things to dry!

Jaxscene: Things To Do Saturday 2/12/11

Getting back into Jaxscene, it's come to are attention doing "Things To Do" isn't going to be as easy as it once was. We stop doing Jaxscene thinking Facebook had a good enough platform for promoters to get the word out. Well with time people have become lazy. At least on MySpace you can put a flyer of weekly events that never changed and you also had a calendar on your profile page. It was set it and forget it.

This is just an idea I had and the only way it is going to work is if you contribute. We are trying to make this as simple for any promoter as possible. All you have to do is comment. Say Chicken and Whiskey is at Lomax just comment, "Chicken and Whiskey tonight at Lomax." Got info, a link to the flyer or event page add that as well. Not a promoter but you know of an event and want to support it, comment, let people know.


Go ahead and give it a try. I don't know what the permissions are set to on commenting but we will work it out eventually.
