</div><div align="center">Well, I finished the project a while ago, and it took longer than intended.<br />
Ive recently started a full time job after 3 years of being a stay at home mom.<br />
I worked on this an hour a night for a few nights..<br />
when i finally had the project done it was time to write the tutorial<br />
but I've been having problems writing it up.</div><div align="center">I first tried writing it up on Word 2007, but it was just a trial, and</div><div align="center">of course my trial expired. </div><div align="center">so then i tried typing it up on notepad.</div><div align="center">I had it all nicely typed up and after saving it i went to bed.</div><div align="center">the next morning i went to open and send it to Heather, and</div><div align="center">of course my computer cant open it.</div><div align="center">It tells me the file is to large to open...UGH!!!!</div><div align="center">So I'm hoping that maybe by posting the tutorial here, Heather can still use it...</div><div align="center">(sadly, because of the unability to use word programs we were unable to use the feature...but thats ok!!)</div><div align="center"><br />
Now to the Tutorial.....</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Ive been seeing alot of Pottery Barn inspired projects lately.</div><div align="center">I thought I would see what the big hype was about and I requested the catalogues.</div><div align="center">I have to admit, they have some pretty cool items in there, but nothing in there is very cheap!</div><div align="center">I liked the spinning shelf, and the bed/dresser combo, but i could never afford them.</div><div align="center">I can see why so many people were making their own inspired projects.</div><div align="center">The second I saw this, I knew what project I was going to do!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfHW_KuJu4BheMlzrFVQkF7OEDQn6u3WqBgslpgErAQa_wyB0tdNPuFQ6Oq2SU-PUM-aKv_EW_vSPHgdxCAFm9KsZCpezS-AK0Oyb6A2Dlu0JoD72_VDIDqU1peOmpP0Ih2xyoKpSx80k/s1600/img66m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfHW_KuJu4BheMlzrFVQkF7OEDQn6u3WqBgslpgErAQa_wyB0tdNPuFQ6Oq2SU-PUM-aKv_EW_vSPHgdxCAFm9KsZCpezS-AK0Oyb6A2Dlu0JoD72_VDIDqU1peOmpP0Ih2xyoKpSx80k/s320/img66m.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">a cool 'Flying' Crow Mobile!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62ijWoTz1MVxDzozDenGJ4sRdHkYNAZ7QdQ8xxgfgUF2ru9NQe_aZuIQ1l8UP6jeaDoR9n65hhg5ZIsmedPbkozcVOidPTNyyTCQ5nEs9IJOUbubB88LZkKyYMZ5mL9Wb8u8XZKZp2QY/s1600/img27l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg62ijWoTz1MVxDzozDenGJ4sRdHkYNAZ7QdQ8xxgfgUF2ru9NQe_aZuIQ1l8UP6jeaDoR9n65hhg5ZIsmedPbkozcVOidPTNyyTCQ5nEs9IJOUbubB88LZkKyYMZ5mL9Wb8u8XZKZp2QY/s320/img27l.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">It has a $39 price tag though!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy3DVjAqNmudvmu1gKs9TUhhj19_sCMZS_XSmi75o9iEQfTnbyR3wT_zqE6zxkXOOuMmvxwV-p8EuBfiLk6W8OJidt0KrGE5Ml_shjf71-nWIB2LZFBbESypZKfsm0MuX7z25Lwpa9f-M/s1600/img43l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy3DVjAqNmudvmu1gKs9TUhhj19_sCMZS_XSmi75o9iEQfTnbyR3wT_zqE6zxkXOOuMmvxwV-p8EuBfiLk6W8OJidt0KrGE5Ml_shjf71-nWIB2LZFBbESypZKfsm0MuX7z25Lwpa9f-M/s320/img43l.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After seeing this I knew I wanted to make my own 'Flying' crows!</div><div align="center"><br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Potion bottles</span></strong><br />
It all started with jagermeister bottles i had stashed. <br />
I cleaned off the labels by soaking them in <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">soapy water. The labels came right off.</div>I laid those flat to dry and kept them for later use.<br />
then using Dollar store scrapbook labels<br />
(rubbed with black paint)<br />
I put a label area on them<br />
most of them currently don't have names..lol<br />

</div>And there is so much more.<br />
these are just what i could find that are currently in my own dollar store.<br />
<br />
Just because The Spirit store only comes around once a year<br />
doesn't mean you HAVE to pay their extravagant prices.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong though...they do have some pretty awesome decorations for indoor and outdoor that you can't find anywhere else. <br />
Costumes too!!<br />
<br />
and just a hint for you:<br />
After Halloween keep any eye on the Spirit stores.<br />
They will be clearances on ALL of their leftover merchandise.<br />
Its always a good time to get costumes and decorations for next year at 50-75% of retail price!!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY HAUNTING!!!</span></strong><br />
