A Treat For My Sweet.....


Just added this... it has nothing to do with this post but I wanted yall to see what I painted last night...

I listed a few in the etsy... Painting Madison's bucket made me see how much I have missed painting...

It's now October so I guess its time for tricks and treats...I made a cute bucket for Madison to hold all of her sweet's... You can find these all over. I paid a dollar. I painted Madsion's on a bumpy bucket but from now on I will only get the smooth ones ...just like the one Im showing you here. This one came from Big Lot's and it was 1.50

I use this kind of paint...

And I just started painting....candy corn of course!

What bucket would be complete without a little candy. Oh my love....

I painted her name but you could do about anything... Boo...Trick or Treat... endless!

You know I had to add some ribbons

I loved doing this project so much...

I think I will make one for each child in her class..

If I have time I would love to make one for each of her teachers...

Maybe one for her dance teacher too!

Guess I better get busy painting Buckets

You know this would be cute too with your last name on it

Just sitting out with the rest of your decorations!

Oh Susie...CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!!! Those plaques and the bucket are fabulous!! Did you just freehand her name or use some kind of template? Cause it just looks perfect!

Good Morning Miz Susie,
I am in awe of ladies who can paint free hand without a stencil and you certainly have that talent in spades, look how stinkin' cute your sweet bucket is!?! I'm totally envious of your skills with a paint brush... I still haven't gotten any of my fall decorations down, I'm so far behind....
Have a wonderful day sweetie!

Hi Susie,
I may have missed it but are you coming to the Canton MS flea market this year? Mom and I go every fall and I was hoping to find you there next Thursday.

Suzann said...

How perfectly adorable! I wish I could paint. I can see lots of ways to use this and what a great gift! You are quite talented!!!

Self Confessed Lamp Tramp said...

So cute, I could do that but I don't have any little ones to give to! Sob, sob!

Stacey said...

Absolutely darling. You have been a busy girl!

Julie said...

Karen said...

that is WAY cute! I really have to go get me some paint so I can paint those picture mats. My mom is a good painter freehand. I am not so much.

Really need to get my Halloween stuff out, still have just fall going on here.

duchess said...

Ooo, I'd better run out & find me a bucket. I'm sure my daughter would love it.

Very cute - thanks for the idea.

Rae said...

You are so talented! I have one of those ugly plastic cauldrons I've used in the girl's classrooms and then I chuck it in storage because it's blecky. Wow! What a transformation you made! I'm going to have to try my hand at making mine adorable!

Mrs. Trixi said...

Every child in the class?! You go girl!!
I love the birds you painted. What are the circles? It almost looks like paint can lids. Very cute.

Adorable! That post sums up my life. I see something cute and spend 500 hours making one for everyone I know (or who's willing to take it).

The Berry's Patch said...

LOVE the candy bucket. It's sooooo cute! :-)

Inspired Kara said...

These are just the cutest. I will need to make a couple for my friend's lil' ones!

my thrifty victorian home said...

OOOOOO! So adorable! Do you just freehand the name? Sooooo cute!

Michelle said...

That's really cute....I might have to do one for Abby...

Not many people like candy corn...It's my favorite...nothin' says Halloween like Candy Corn. It taste great with Apples too...they should make some kind of Candy Corn Apple...maybe they do???
My kids still watch Noggin and I can't wait for them to start singing the "I don't like Candy Corn" song...do you remember that?

The Promoted Princess said...

Susie, I meant to mention earlier how much I like the cauldron bucket. I actually picked up one at a thrift store the other day and put it back because I couldn't think of anything cute to do with it. And no, I won't be selling at Canton, I'll be shopping. We (mom and I) always have a great time. I hope to see you there though.

Kelley said...

So cute!!

Kimba said...

Oh wow! Those little plaques are so cute. Love them! And your daughter's bucket is adorable.

Mrs. B said...

What a great idea! I definitely think I will be copying this one! They could even be painted to match their costume for the year! Love it!

Oh no, are those crown plaques I see in your sidebar? Are you trying to make me go broke or something?

Bella Casa said...

Love those, I should really do that for my son's preschool classmates, that would be fun :)

I mentioned you on my blog today :)

Girly Stuff said...

I'd like an orange one...thanks!

Katie said...

Love it, what great skill you have, did you just freehand draw to write her name or use a stencil of some kind. Love it!

Christine said...

Brilliant idea! I will have to check out my big lots and do the same thing for my daughters preschool class! Thanks for sharing.

Christine

Natalie said...

Love this! I may even be able to pull off a candy corn or two even though I have no painting abilities. The ribbon just adds that special touch. Adorable.

You are so talented, girl! What a cute idea, too! Madison will be the best looking trick-or-treater around!

Bella Casa said...

Hi Susie!

Ok, I got my buckets from Big Lots...and now I need paint and ribbons...but what is that fancy green 'stuff' inside of the bucket?

I am going to be busy, I am not very artsy and I have at least 12 of these to make, but I bought 15 just in case I want to make a couple for the teachers and then maybe one for our last name, cute idea!!!

Thanks!
Bella
