Up-cycled Kitchen Canisters and Cutting board

Well after this big move I am still putting things in places but decided I better start making my daughters Christmas presents.  She finally decided to go to college and get her own place, and she wants a theme of Coffee on her kitchen.
I bought the canisters at the GW ended up being a $1 and the cutting board I found and the general dollar store for 70 cents so I scored big time.  I also picked up a tin coffee mug it is huge and a candle holder and salt and pepper shakers they are in the works now
I found the images by using google was actually wallpaper border I decoupaged them and voila this is what I came up with may tie some burlap around them for accent.
Thank you for visiting and HUGS from Ohio

Chocolate walnut whoopie pies

Sorry its been so long since I posted but with the huge move and still sorting thru things and putting away I found time to make some whoopie pies for my baby he loves them and they are so easy to make!!!

Recipe
Cake mix any flavor
Block of cream cheese (softened)
3 medium eggs
1 TBL vanilla 
approx 1/2 c water
I did add a cup of crushed walnuts because he loves them so they are optional

Mix ingredients well may have to add or decrease water just make sure it has a thick consistency that you can drop by spoon full on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 6 to 8 min
Let cool and and spread frosting on bottom of cookie and put together or you can just frost like a regular cookie!!!
I have tried many different cake mixes and they have all turned out yummy!!!
Hope you all have a great week HUGS...

Shoe shine box and brushes...
Was out doing my normal weekly thrifting and seen this shoe shine box at the goodwill $4 passed it up and went on to some yard sales came across all these lil shoe shine brushes most of them were a buck and the small ones were 50 cents the wood shoe thing was $2.  So I raced back to the goodwill and it was still there thik I am going to give it a coat of stain or would it look right if I painted it black?  Let me know what you would have done with it!!!
Thanks HUGS JEN
