Little Weekend Project

Well...I got this wonderful idea from Pinterest.

I had this lovely old window waiting for me to do something with it.

So with the help of my wonderful husband we started sanding all the paint off.

(which we think was lead based)

After we got it all sanded and looking pretty, I put a dark wood stain on it.

(Sorry forgot to get pictures of it with the stain on)

Then I toke a water and white acrylic paint mixer and rubbed it on the old window.

Then I sanded it down to let some of the dark stain show through and gave it an old look to it.

Next my husband toke the metal sheet I purchased from Home Depot and cut it down to fit in the middle window and I screwed in hooks in the other two windows.

And then Luke hung it up in our room and I put all my lovely earrings and necklaces on it.

We had alot of fun doing this little weekend project and I hope to do alot more!!!

So in the last few months I have found Pinterest and fell in love. It started with a co-worker of mine finding it and sharing the wonderfulness of Pinterest. I havn't been able to stop!!!

So far, I have 15 Boards and to many pins to count. But I can't help pin things for "someday". Like someday I will have a house, someday I'll have children, someday, someday someday.

Here are few of my favorite pins and I have alot of crafts I can't wait to get started on.

Oh and the list goes on and on and on.....so look for more craft and projects to come.

Now go out there and Pin.

....Ready for 2012....

Christmas and New Years went well.
Had a great time visiting and seeing all mine and Luke's families. Got more than I expected for Christmas. And made a few people very happy with their presents.

New Years, we went to La Crosse to visit some friends and have dinner with them at a wonderful place named "Piggy's".  Wonderful food and great company. We celebrated all night and Luke was filling it in the morning. lol

Luke had to wear a tie and was looking good all night.

Kaylan and I were looking good too.

Christmas isn't even done yet, we have one more in a week for Luke's side and then we can pack up everything and get back to normal life.

Hope everyone had a very wonderful and amazing Christmas and New Years!!
