Craftiness Complicates (and Enhances) My Life...Yet Again

What the heck is going on over there, I'm sure you're wondering since you are visiting my blog to see if there is a new post, right? We had a busy weekend...

Family was in town visiting. We had a birthday party for Lil B on Saturday, I attended a big-girl birthday party for one of my friends Saturday night, then on Sunday I helped host a baby shower for my sister in law who is cooking up a playmate for Lady B. She is due in August--YAY!

So since my life isn't complicated enough I've decided to tackle yet another crafty project....

Some background: I'm a devoted fan of some craft-a-licious blogs such as Centsational Girl, Thrifty Decor Chick, and The Shabby Nest. When I read these blogs and see all the crafty goodness that awaits me I am struck silly with inspiration and ideas of grandeur for my home.

The other day I decided to pop into my local Goodwill store to see if there was any furniture that might satisfy my crafty itch so I could try out a painting technique I read about. And just look at what was calling my name.....
I almost missed it because it was sitting on it's side. But her legs were what caught my attention. Those cute little legs. On that trip, I ran into a friend at the Goodwill (random, I know....you know who you are....Lisa!!) and she convinced me to indulge myself on the $5 purchase. Yes, you read that right...this baby was a whopping $5. Which is why I bought it because if I brought home one more table that was worth one penny over that amount I think my husband might put me out on the curb for Wednesday's pick up. However, I billed this as an "experimental craft project" that could be thrown away if it went south....so stay tuned for the transformation....
