I'm oN A Roll
Just so you know, I wake every morning inspired, what to do next? I am a ball of energy. Some of you gals asked when do I sleep. Well I have to tell you I get my solid 7-8 hours a night, and wake up refreshed and raring to go. I now look around the house. As I do not want to go out and spend money that I do not need to. So today I decided I would redo a little white shade I had tucked away in my closet I already had my supplies on hand. Just took a minute to figure out what I wanted and here it is
Can someone say BORING?????
Can someone say CUTE???? I love poppies this season, and just cut a flower off one I have, and hot glued it to the ribbon...easy peasy!
Ahhhhhh....that was fun~!
Made the cute little tea towel with fabric I had left over from making my table runner
As you can see I put the lemons back on the table....and my husband pointed out to me, that my new color scheme this week is the Howard Johnson Colors....leave it to Mike to make that observation!
Linking up to some of my favorite parties this week. Thanks for hosting!

I really like the flower on the lampshade. That is very pretty.
Hope you have a great week. :)
Oh, I wish you lived near me...you're so creative!! I love the lampshade.
I snorted when I read your hubs comments - that is way too funny...I wouldn't have noticed...
p.s. did i tell you that my most favorite part of this post was when you said, "I am a ball of energy"- it gave me SO much inspiration. Thank you!
Deb, that lamp is adorable with the poppy added to it and the fabric. You are just creating away, my friend.
Hey I loved Howard Johnson's when I was a kid, lol! You did a great job, very creative as usual. Loving the Poppy, it looks so great with the picture!
Absolutely adorable. That shade went from see me to Look at Me all with just a few additions. My kind of project.
Love the blue and orange together.
Love it Debbie! You think of the cutest things! I like the lamp shade alot but love the handmade tea towel. Fantastic! That's funny your hubs must be a traveling man! LOL!
So cute! What a difference that simple touch makes. I love your table, too.

I love how the poppy you put on the lampshade goes so well with your poppy picture above it! Great and simple idea to dress up a lampshade. I'm trying not to spend either; I have at least 3 projects sitting waiting so I will have to breakdown and get some more black spray paint.
Hey Debbie I just love what you did to the lampshade it looks so pretty!! Great job my friend! I 've been doing projects like crazy painting and distressing furniture I really gotta stop though,all I do is walk around and look to see what next(LOL)!!Hope you had great weekend!
The lamp shade looks great! Kind of like a flower for your hair. You are energetic...wow!! Of course I love the oranges in your trifle bowl. ;)

Great idea! I have a lamp shade that is boring me and didn't know if I could commit to an entire recover. But I could handle this.
What a great idea!
Love it and it's so easy!
What a sweet lampshade! You are awesome!
Hi Debbie! Oh, honey, I wish I had just a bit of your energy! :) Love your little lamp shade redo and love it even more that it's gracing a Rooster! :) Love them yard birds.

Hi Debbie, You're like the "energizer bunny" you keep going...going... and you always come up with wonderful creative designs. Thank you for visiting and leaving your comment on my Thrifty "RED" finds, I flipped my "LID". I loved getting that pretty oven set for $3.99 what a deal! Have a great week. I was happy I was able to link up this week. Now that you got me thrifting, I'm hooked...but I did pop into Home Goods today, cuz I knew they were suspicous that I haven't been around...don't want them to know I'm cheating on them. Your secret is safe with me...I'm not telling and you're not telling...so all is good!
Have a great week!

Found you from Kreative Krafts-so glad I did. What a super cute, little makeover! I espesically love your yellow cart in the photo! My mom had one of those growing up, of course it wasn't such a luscious yellow color-but..
So thrilled I get to check out the rest of your blog!! Just your title alone had me hooked!!
Please, stop by sometime and visit! Love meeting new friends!!!
Happy Monday!!
Ha! I am stupid! I am blaming it on the strong narcotics!! As I was stalking your blog-I am thinking-Duh duh duh Tausha!! You know Debbie and all of her fabulousenss already! Yea, I am a little slow. I had to come back and comment so you didn't think that I am a total flake-only sort of one!! Ha! Hope I gave you a good giggle!! Maybe this is a sign I should go to bed!
I love the color orange and additions you made to the shade are fabulous -- especially with the poppy print above it!
You totally changed that lamp shade from boring to FAB! I love it.
That Poppy on the lamp shade is awesome!
On the black ribbon, even better.
thanks

Your house is so cute! I can't decorate outside of brown and leather (the hubby likes)! Looks like I may need to rethink some things! Jilly

That lampshade is just sooooooooo cute. What a great idea. Now who would have ever though of such a thing, but it is just fabulous. I love how it ties into the picture, and the teatowel and lemons on your stand are so pretty. Love the lemons on the table and the touch of orange with it is wonderful. I am so in love with orange and blue and green and blue. Great combinations. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
