I found this AWFUL looking chair at the Goodwill for $5.
I thought, Hey, I could do something with that chair.
So I spray painted it white and then i put the zebra print on the seat.
I'm not sure if I like the zebra print. Maybe i should go for a bright fuchsia pattern?
Either way, I think this chair looks 557% better.

I love it! However, I'm a big fan of pink so I will ALWAYS vote for fuschia over leopard print. Hey, I emailed you yesterday and I didn't hear back. Maybe it went into your spam filter. Anyway, my question is this: would you rather wait for the large print edition of Miss D (not sure exactly when in May it will be available) or would you rather have me send the black and hot pink version now. Let me know, thanks!

Nope! KEEP the zebra print! Very, very nice! You are so artistic! (I'm going to be doing just as much crafting this summer and will show you also, the results! ...thanks for reminding me to take before pics!)

...if anything, I would have made the chair, bright fuschia... but KEEP the zebra! BEAUTIFUL!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts.

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
