It's a brand new car!!!!

Dr. Pepper said I was having my Vanna White Moment.....



I am pretty excited!  Now I can bring home EVEN MORE stuff from the Goodwill! ha ha ha



A little addition to the Man Cave.....

So as most of you know I am addicted to the Goodwill and to Thrift Stores of any kind.  While I was shopping around last week at the Salvation Army I came across a piece of wood that made me think of my next project. A little something to spruce up the "Man Cave". I paid a whopping $ 0.99 for it and it came out pretty good if you ask me! Here is how I did it......

      Step one:

              Find a piece of wood that you can work with easily.

     Step two:
  

                                     
                Pick your paint color and start to cover......

        Step three:

               Cover it a few times if you need to so that the original color doesn't show through easily.

 Step four:
                                                 
          Pick the color for your lettering & write away! You may have to go over this a few times also.

 Step five:


Distress it or scratch the paint wherever you wish to make it look great! Remember it is going in the man cave so it needs to look WORNOUT! ha ha
I took a screwdriver and scratched the parts that look a bit shiny and then rubbed my finger over the black paint for a smudged look.
                                      

Dr. Pepper ;oved it and it hung it in his "man Cave" as soon as I got home on Sunday. :) I can't wait for him to see the project I am working on for him for his birthday.......I think he is going to LOVE IT!!!!

Happy Birthday Oscar!!!


      Yesterday was my sweet little puppies 1 year birthday!

    Isn't he the cutest little thing ever?!  


One happy little guy!
