Bright Side of a Negative Nancy

So I forgot to take a before picture! I am new at the whole tutorial thing. I had recently come across a mirror. Oval and with a really nice border. I was so excited but it did need work. Instead of it ending up in the garbage I took it and decided to redecorate the mirror. I had purchased some glossy white spray paint and planned on painting the frame white. Than leaving it at that. I wasn't really sure how to cover the mirror part so i figured I could scrape the spray paint later. So first I started out with the first coat of spray paint. I did it really thing and liked the way that it was taking to the frame and decided that I wasn't going to do a clean white frame that I was going to make it look more antiqued. I then got some clean acrylic paint and watered it down a bit and went over the mirror with it. The dark paint ran down in the corners of the frame accenting (That's a word right?) the cracks and dings in the mirror making it look older. I went ...

Recycling has been something I have been in to since I first discovered it. People have recycled for a long time, but many trash services have made it a lot easier. Which I think is fantastic! I am not saying that I am super green and that I always recycle, because I don't. My goal is to become better at recycling the things I use and I figure this blog would be a great way to put this in to practice. Since I have started separating my trash out accordingly I have found that I actually have a lot less trash. Meaning less stuff being thrown in to the landfills and actually being reused! Although that is not the only way to recycle. You can always re-purpose old things that you used to have. A shirt that doesn't fit anymore or an empty coffee can. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. I plan to put a new post up weekly with some great recycling ideas I have found on the internet as well as some I have come up with myself! I hope you are ready for this. Sh...

A few weeks ago I was driving down the street and I seen a homeless man that has been around for years. A very peaceful man who just goes from place to place minding his own business.  I must say I can say sadly that I have never thought anymore about it. I have wondered how hard it must be for him to stay in the heat and the cold. How he makes it day to day. I never thought more deeply about it. Never thought about the fact that he may need something.  Few hours had past and when I left my friends house and he was still sitting there. As I was driving I noticed a truck stopped in the middle of the road with the door wide open. First thought that hit me was "What are they doing?! They are going to cause an accident". Than when I looked over I noticed that guy in the truck was actually bringing food to the homeless man.  The fact that he had actually thought to do something so nice and selfless for another person was amazing to me. It inspired me to want to do bette...
