Isn't it festive and, most importantly, glittery. heheWe recently bought some cheapo coffee (that was yummy) at Big Lots. I loved the vintage look of the can and for a while was putting whatever brand we bought into the can. Since then I've changed to a nice glass jar but I still like the can. Nick, my older son, is amazing at making stencils and spray painting designs. Today he surprised me by taking the can into his room and tracing the design, making a stencil and making this great canvas board of my coffee can. It looks just like it. I should have taken a pic of the can. Nick took this pic with his camera.
It's actually more of an olive green with orange lettering than shows in this photograph, but you can get the idea. I have it on my coffee shelf with my french presses and tea pot and tea tins. Maybe I'll take a pic after my birthday in March. lolOk..enough for today. Goodnight guys.

I can see why the can appealed to you. And I'm really impressed with your son. A sweet and very arty thing to do for his mom!
Colette, I agree. I'm a lucky mom. :)
Oh, Lisa - I would love to come over and photograph your stuff for you! I would, you know.
Your son's rendition is wonderful hang it in the kitchen now!!
Wow - your hubby is handy too... :)
Cool, Nick is so sweet to do that too.
Wow, he did an exceptional job. Good for him!
What a lovely thing for your son to do - time is so precious that it means a lot that he gave his. Great tin too.
As to the pics - I have a faithful but taped together 2mp camera and have found that daylight is the solution.
Have a great day.
Lisa - love the glittery card Joyce sent you.
And I agree with Colette Nick is a lovely and thoughtful young man. What a great thing to do for his mum!
I agree with Julie that daylight is a solution to clear photographs. I take my pics in my sun room in the mornings and they turn out clear and light. We want to see every detail of your art :)
Your blog is a highlight of my day Lisa. Love seeing what you have been creating. And reading about your life.
