The Project Of Many Lessons

First of all, I'm not going to lie. I am a little surprised that Blogger let me log on. Can we say slacker??? I think yes.

Second, I want to share a little transformation with you, and the lessons I learned in the process.

The other day I happened to stumble across a picture that Amber had pinned on Pinterest. It was a dresser turned dress up station and I fell in love. Good thing for me I had a dresser with broken drawers that I had been holding on to because I couldn't bring myself to trash it. So I set out on a mission with a picture in my head of what I wanted. Now, on to your quick lesson plan on transform dresser 101.

Number one: Under no circumstances whatsoever should you ever.....I mean NEVER....use gray primer spray paint indoors. I don't care how many windows or doors you have open, it will end up in a gray haze over your whole house and I whole bunch of dirty socks no matter how many times you mop the floor.

Number two: If you are painting your dresser a light color, do NOT use gray primer. To my defense though, I was planning on painting it dark purple but found a light lilac in the oops paint section at walmart and forgot to switch the primers.....which leads me to my next lesson....

Number three: Don't use cheap walmart paint when painting a laminated dresser especially when you are too lazy to sand it first.

And last, but not least number 4: If you want a quick, easy, and not so much a pain in the butt alternative...just use spray paint. I finally had to come to terms that it's for my children and is going to get banged up anyways so when I couldn't get the cheapo paint to cover I settled for a three dollar bottle of purple spray paint and couldn't be more happier with the results.

Now all I need is a funky little lamp and I will be one happy girl :). Don't you just love Pinterest?

Overwhelmed With Cuteness!

Ok, so maybe I am a little biased but is this not the most handsome ninja turtle you have EVER seen????

 

And this fairy....to die for right?????

Yesterday we headed to downtown Barnesville to get our trick or treat on.

Last year when we went all the houses were decorated and we had so much fun.

This year? Not so much.

It was over crowded with an over abundance of grown up children which made it hard for the actual little ones to do more than stand in line and inhale second hand smoke. Not my idea of a fun time. Needless to say next year we will be hanging around our neighborhood and doing it the good ole fashion way :)

Hope everyone had a great Halloween and got lots of goodies!
