<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I got some wood from my mom that was my dads. He was </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">an amazing carpenter and I am so glad that I got to use some wood that was </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">sentimental in this project.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So once again....being me....I didn't get a before! Can someone help me with this problem?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sheesh!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Anyway....but I do have some during picture. The first couple are with my phone so excuse the</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">quality.....K!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">So this is what the wood started out as. I sanded it because it was pretty weathered. </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I didn't take a picture of this but before I painted the wood I stained it with an ebony stain then painted over it with the turquoise paint then sanded it to get the dark to show through. I like how it turned out. To finish I lightly sprayed it with a polyurethane to seal it all in</span>. </div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">And this is what I did with it! It's not completely finished yet....there's one more,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">final touch that I want to add to it...but I'm pretty happy with it for now. </span></div>

Little update on this little guy I did a couple weeks ago....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't loved the knobs on this....and haven't really dared to spend flippin $4 a knob to get what I wanted....so till then I came up with a little solution....But you can't see it yet...You'll have to stay tuned...I'll post it soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But today I finished another project...I'm on a roll! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's a quick story. The hubbs and I got this table and chairs from the MIL for a wedding gift almost 8 years ago. It looked very similar to this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry...awful picture...got it googling. lol I'm bad at befores...remember!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway...so we moved into the house we are in a little over a year ago and this table looked like Barbie table in our large dining room...so we bought a new, very beautiful one, one which my daughter felt the need to spill nail polish remover on and ruin the finish on one corner. That's another story though...Anyway...I couldn't see throwing out a perfectly good table and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had always wanted a sofa table...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
see where I'm going with this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the hubbs cut it in half length wise, move the legs forward and VOILA!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobd40tPsINPz-LdnzqlBsNH_29IwkIC8ZC7GK1V4CYSDKfM7eWpVzYRCgoQf4rRyRVhlCiZJKteYpk-o53_EQjxEutgjfEbLyafjWqiUifdgalK21jUxYLl665SLi1EwcuDM15vYd5niR/s1600/IMG_0902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="454" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgobd40tPsINPz-LdnzqlBsNH_29IwkIC8ZC7GK1V4CYSDKfM7eWpVzYRCgoQf4rRyRVhlCiZJKteYpk-o53_EQjxEutgjfEbLyafjWqiUifdgalK21jUxYLl665SLi1EwcuDM15vYd5niR/s640/IMG_0902.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the table cut in half and half primed....again...bad at before pics...I think I need a support group for it or something...anyway...here she is in all her beauty! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color I went with is a cute turquoise (I also painted my pantry door this color)</div>

This first one is from <a href="http://www.diypartydesigns.com/category/diy-party-themes/valentines-day/">DIY Party Designs</a>. I've seen these done a few times...but I think they are so cute and simple and look like they would only take a few minutes to whip up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next up is a super cute and I think it could be a very personal gift too....if given to the right person.</div>

What's this?? I'm back again??? Twice in a month....Hopefully I can keep this up! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway...today I'm here to share a little Lego party I did for my nephew. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a lot of fun to experiment with new things this time around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a shot of the whole spread...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you think?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />It was fun! It was my first time ever working with fondant. Fun to play with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have decided that I would share how I did the little fondant Legos, so here we go...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbHkojBUOPuUnVIUCG4ktW49U69GYKBojnPqKQM7Vkt71RNQneA_BV9EvfD7Ylygc4sZlFgMmxwJIRQFjCltKejisdEDdiCFjNonjbx-mR4UFiIDbIfK8GHjWI7DsOeMfsvaCeX-W64YMP/s1600/2012-01-21+21.09.09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbHkojBUOPuUnVIUCG4ktW49U69GYKBojnPqKQM7Vkt71RNQneA_BV9EvfD7Ylygc4sZlFgMmxwJIRQFjCltKejisdEDdiCFjNonjbx-mR4UFiIDbIfK8GHjWI7DsOeMfsvaCeX-W64YMP/s640/2012-01-21+21.09.09.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the fondant I used. VERY convenient that it came in the colors that I needed! I got this at Wal-Mart for about $10.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJo7UkV_AuuaEV6CG4QiQxiecFzl_F3tkV0C0lh-JMJDMdaj30lW_1qZzbWUowvhDdArxjgCNA_RRxXp3sepMU1zGde_AR0sRYxd6DO7qdrMnMVRWN9Qbf_-Q2UgiHJYaTAwf7N63z932W/s1600/2012-01-21+21.09.32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJo7UkV_AuuaEV6CG4QiQxiecFzl_F3tkV0C0lh-JMJDMdaj30lW_1qZzbWUowvhDdArxjgCNA_RRxXp3sepMU1zGde_AR0sRYxd6DO7qdrMnMVRWN9Qbf_-Q2UgiHJYaTAwf7N63z932W/s640/2012-01-21+21.09.32.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kneaded it a little and then rolled it out and cut out the size rectangle I wanted. I used a very sharp paring knife for this. It worked really well, but if you don't have that then a friend of mine suggested using an exacto knife. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-YSlX_22g9K3_YvjfL7ieLr4aVeU9A33TmE4pgrjTMnUnGbOcZFsR6klEeRsPuEMPoCZ0pV5juAZaIXHZmmL74GkaCJcYFTfFATBNFh_UyiIXxpcQm6HgHclkguRFtevbOk77nLwmJS8S/s1600/2012-01-21+21.16.15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-YSlX_22g9K3_YvjfL7ieLr4aVeU9A33TmE4pgrjTMnUnGbOcZFsR6klEeRsPuEMPoCZ0pV5juAZaIXHZmmL74GkaCJcYFTfFATBNFh_UyiIXxpcQm6HgHclkguRFtevbOk77nLwmJS8S/s640/2012-01-21+21.16.15.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got this awesome idea from that same friend mentioned above (Hi Becky!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using my plain circle icing tip to cut out my circles. Worked like a charm! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I glued the circles on the rectangles using vanilla extract. Becky (Thanks again...she's a fondant pro) said that any extract will work, but vodka works best....didn't have any of that lying around so this was the weapon of choice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Frosted the cupcakes and VOILA! The cupcake liners I found at Zurchers, they also happened to be the perfect colors. I used my son's MegaBloks as a backdrop/cupcake stand. I think it turned out pretty cute. </div>

And these little guys intimidated me quite a bit...but once I got the hang of it, it was fun and I felt like I was an artist. LOL Any of you know me, you know I an NOT an artist! So if I can do these....anyone can. I used a Wilton food marker for these. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
TIP: It wasn't a smooth process, writing on the chocolate....have a paper close buy to that you can get your ink going again when it starts not working so well. I hope I can figure out a better way to do this soon....but that is what I did for these Little Lego Heads.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So with the new year I am hoping to get my butt in gear and post more....and create more. I'm hoping to share some fab parties and some projects that I hope I can conquer. Also hoping to get some more readers, so tell your friends about me. I'd love the visits! To start out the new year I have a couple things I've painted that I wanted to share.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This first one is just a small little project.... </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> (I'm apologizing for the picture quality....took these with my phone) So I got the M at joanns. I used a 50% off coupon so I think it was like $5 or $6. Cheap! It is one of those cardboard letters. I painted it with an "oops" color from Lowes that I got for $1. I added a little glaze love to it and I like it. This picture makes it look lighter than it is....it's more of a burnt orange in person. So there you have it...the M!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I LOVE the color I chose! I believe the color is mossy green from Olympic (Lowes). And then lightly glazed it with a dark stain. I tend to stay on the safe side when it comes to paint colors...but I just threw caution to the wind with this one and I'm so glad I did! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The last thing I need to finish it up is to get some BOMB DIGGITY knobs! These are okay and will do....but I need a little BOOM with this! hee hee. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway....thanks for looking I hope you will see me and I will see you (kinda....that sounds creepy) here more often! </span></div>
