The 3 little R's

My children's changing table (10 years old now), 2 cans of spray paint, my neighbor took down their fence so I grabbed a few pieces cut them down to the right size and this is what I came up with.  Two days "not bad" now I would like to find an old chair to set beside it and I need a few more things to put on the selves.  I am happy with it.  YEAH!!!  Trash to Treasure. <3

Project and Card

Hope everyone is doing well, it's been a bit busy in these parts.  Baseball, swimming, scouts, and horseback riding we are busy every night of the week, argh...  so I just wanted to stop in and share a little project that I am working on and a card.

 

So here is a little something I am working on, it is primed and ready to paint.

And yes it is (was) my kids changing table which by the way my kids are now 9 and 10.

When it is all done it will sit on my front porch.

Good Luck

So that garlic chicken dinner turned out pretty good although I did make some changes after looking at the reviews.  Eric thought it was really good.  So my show on Friday went pretty well, a little bigger than some of my girls are used to but we all had a good time.  I already showed you guys one of the cards so here is another one that they made.  Thanks for stopping in.

Westeria Wonder

So I am busy cutting and getting ready for my show this Friday, and what a good day to be doing this.  It is supposed to rain all day and since my kids have gotten on the bus it has not stopped.  I have to head out in this mess to go pick up dinner I am trying a receipt from Pinterest, Garlic Chicken it sounds easy and YUMMY, you can check it out here.  I did read some of the comments and I will add some liquid (broth) to the bottom of the pan, I am also going to cook it at 425 for about 20 min and then broil it for about 5 min.  I will let you know how it turns out.

So here is one of the projects that the girls will be working on this Friday.  Hope you like it and thanks for stopping in.

Project Complete

Oh My Goodness this project took 4 days and a total of nine hours.  If the weather would have been nicer it would not have taken that long.  The poly coats took forever to dry, and they needed two coats.  I guess if Nicole and I didn't make extra large ones it may not have taken as long either, but the girls and I had a good time working together.  I have found out that I like working with the big boy tools, yes I know I need to get some safety glasses and maybe some gloves, I got a few splinters.

Paint, Paint, Paint

oh what is this you ask.  Well lets just say this is part one of what is turning out to be 3 days to get this project done.  I will post the finished project next week when we finish it.

 17 different colors of paint from my house and Nicoles on 20 boards

 Colleen (above) and Nicole (below) we started at 10:30

stopped for lunch and ended at 3:00.

 Here are just some of the boards

 Me cutting the boards down to 2 feet (total of 80 boards)

I can't wait to show you guys the finished project.

What to do

Oh what to do with all that Bakers Twine, which by the way I love...  Okay so the spools were to big once I got the twine wrapped around it so I cut down a couple of straws and that worked perfectly!!!  I got the salt and pepper shakers for .97 cents what a bargain, right.  I have seen some neat ways to store bakers twine on pinterest (awesome place).  One of those cheese shakers is what I was looking for but did not find one in my outing today.  I think this will work just fine for me.  Okay so go store that twine.
