It's finally done!

A long time ago my grandma gave us an old dresser. It was a very ugly color. Kind of a brownish/yellowish color, and half of the drawers fell out if you pulled them to far. But we were very grateful to have it. So I painted it, and lined the drawers. I remember the color (white chocolate) because I loved the name more than anything. When we got our new bedroom set (my parents graciously gave us) we good willed the dresser, but I kept the mirror that came with it. I just couldn't get rid of it. I kept it until I knew what I wanted to do with it. When we moved into our new house I new I wanted to put it in the entry way. But that I didn't want it white anymore. So I finally painted it black. Then I stressed it a little (or a lot actually). I painted the emblem a chocolate brown. Then stressed it too. The picture really doesn't do it justice. Even Richard thought I did a pretty good job. So next time you come over oooh, and ahhh about it. I'm not usually one to pat myself on the back. But I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Now I want to get a black table to put under it. Then when I buy a new frame for our family picture. To replace the old frame that one of my adorable children broke, (I won't mention any names) my entry way will be complete.



p.s. You guys like my C. It is probably my favorite decoration in my house.

Photo editing

I have been trying my hand at some photo editing. It has taken me a long time to be able to do this so don't laugh. If your wondering why it's blueberry picking you can read this old post.

The original photo I took.

One last thing I have been trying some HTML editing. I made the third column on the left all by myself (kind of, I used some help from tips for new bloggers). I also made this cool (well I think it's cool) link for Elliot & Mollys adoption profile. Go ahead click on it. It really works.

finished product

Here are the book marks I mentioned. They were for are stake FHPE night last night. I was asked to help out and kind of volunteered for making the book marks. Silly me, what was I thinking. It actually was a lot of fun. I love having a project to work on. I even had some good help. Thanks Coreen & kari!I had a lot of fun getting to visit with everyone that night, but had to leave early cause Tate was being a stinker for Richard.
