Mirror, Mirror in my hand...

You know that magnified side of the mirror on 
your standard "from the drugstore" 2 sided 
mirror that makes you look like a monster? 
Or makes you appear larger than you 
actually are??

I removed that clear sticker that told 
the purchaser that the side was 
magnified... MISTAKE! 
Every time I picked it up I was 
looking at the back of my hair and 
scaring myself LOL... so...



I used this fabulous sticker image of the 
Eiffel Tower to mark that magnified 
side of the mirror! 
I already had the sticker in my 
stash of travel stickers so 
this quick project 
cost ZERO $$s!!

AND it's beautiful too!

Til next time...

Oh my gosh! Brilliant idea.

When I was little and picked up my Gramma's mirror and that big side made me I freak out! I already thought my face was UGLY but it looked uglier big! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh~

I had to laugh...but it is definitely a good idea for those who don't want to be jumped out of their pajamas looking at the magnified side! I will to remember to do that if I end up with one of those mirrors.

Hi Sherry!
Thank you so much for your kind words! And thanks for the advice on painting the cherub....It was my first inclination to just repaint over it too....I think I'll see if I can give the eyes a softer look, but if I still have psycho cherub..I'll paint the whole thing white *winks* Vanna
