This world-wide event (ok, just here in my little corner of the blog world) will be hosted bi-weekly by yours truly and will feature a theme of some sort. The theme this week is Quick and Easy, and boy do I have the tutorial links in store for you:
I must say I received an overwhelming, shut-the-front-door, knock-your-socks-off, kind of response to the QUICK AND EASY

Rachel shows you how quick and easy it is to slap some vinyl and call it good over here.Saving glass from the trash is one of my favorite things to do and the beau hates it. Maybe if I made something as vintage-y as Brooke's Olive Oil Bottle, he'd have a change of heart.
