Princess Mirror...

This past Saturday we had a birthday party to go to. 

This lil girl is on my cheer leading team...her mom and i are the coaches. 

She is such a character and so full of life!!  When I asked her what she would like

for her birthday she said "a princess mirror...

they have them at Wal-Mart"...she thinks everything comes from Wal-Mart :)



Well I just so happen to have a cute mirror laying around my house that

was not being used and decided I would

transform it into her Princess Mirror....one that no other lil girl has!

The back of the mirror was not pretty at all.  I know I know "who's

going to see it anyway" but still...I had to do something with it. 

So I had this fabric left over from re-doing my older 2

daughters bedroom.  This would be the perfect backing.  So I cut

it to size leaving an inch hangover.

I covered up the mirror so I wouldn't get paint on it...or at least

try my best not to!

I ended up having to put about 3 coats of paint on the mirror.  I

wanted a heavy coating so I could scuff it up some...make it

look old...antiqued!!

After the paint was completely dry, I flipped the mirror over

and started on the fabric backing!  All I did was fold under

the inch overhang and hot glue onto the back of the

frame...making my creases sharp & crisp with the iron! 

This is one of the crowns that I made out of felt (2 in all)

that I glued directly to the mirror in opposite corners!

No Princess mirror would be complete without

a CROWN!!

On two corners of the frame, opposite each other,

I added some dark pink and light pink rosettes and a combo

light and dark purple pom!  To the back of the rosettes I added

baby pink tulle to add a lil flare!

She was THRILLED with her Princess Mirror!  It turned out adorable

I must say so myself...my girls are wanting one now :)

The pics really don't do it justice...in need of camera BAD!!!

And also this past Saturday I celebrated my 30th Birthday as well!! :)

Yeah the big 3-0!  My hubby was sooo excited to

embarrass me that he posted this outside our house...

Gotta love him...and I DO!!!  Happy Monday!
