This is a re-post, but I'm not feeling creative and it was posted long ago. I thought I might be able to pull off sharing it again.

Here's a fun way to make inexpensive but cute house numbers using a platter. I got this platter at the Dollar Store for......$1.  It's blue/white and matches our house colors. We went forever without house numbers because I knew I wanted to do this but wanted it to be "just right". I wanted to paint light blue numbers to match the platter and be, oh so pretty. Granted, that WILL look much better but I finally realized I'd better do something to help out the UPS man until I finally get around to my "big plans". So I bought some of those cheap, rectangular stick-on house numbers at Walmart and then just cut around the numbers and stuck them on.

Doesn't look as nice as painted blue ones, but the reality is, who knows when and if I'll ever get to that. As it is, it's still more creative than regular old numbers. Quick & easy, too! Be creative in considering what kind of plate, platter....whatever to use. You could even change with the seasons. You can always find a nice seasonal dish or platter at the second hand store.

And, as I've learned in my old age:

Not everything worth doing is worth doing well!!

Sometimes it's best just to DO something. Come back later and fix it if you have time but don't let perfection stand in the way of progress. Learn what needs to be perfect and what doesn't!
