I'm a crafter. I'm so right-brained it's crazy. The Lumberjack is left-brained: he's great at math, logic puzzles, reasoning. Me? I find things, pick them up, find ways to make them new. I jump from one idea to the next, seeing potential in things others leave behind (because one man's trash is another one's treasure, right?) I often joke that between the Lumberjack and I, the boy got the best of both worlds: he loves science, and loves to draw, dinosaurs and dragons being his favorites.
From memory, y'all. Memory! |
I've had this bookcase for years. Right outside my bedroom door, looked at its brownness for years. Finally, I decided to do something with it...
Brownness. Not pretty. |
Getting a little better. |
Much nicer view from the bedroom! |
Left on the side of the road, these frames needed of love, so they came home with me (that trash to treasure thing). Black-frame, painted mirror. (And polka dotted socks!)
With one coat of white paint, they started looking really good.
Another coat of paint...happy, happy, happy frames (and pink-toed socks).
New chalkboard paint on the mirrors, scrapbook paper on the backs to keep them cute and pretty.
Happy little chalkboards now, just big enough for a hello and hi ya'll!
On to something else!
