All Ready for Jax

This 'n' That

27 May

Free 2013 – 2014 Catalog

My sweet niece Jade got her Mum, my little sister Jacqui (Jax for short) airplane tickets to come visit in October. I can not wait, it has been a long long time since Jax has been here, I mean she has never been to this house and we have been here since 97 I think.

So today I thought I would get the bed painted, I didn't think I would totally get it done, but I did.

Remember I got a screaming deal on this bed a while ago. The paint was a greenish/whitish look and painted really rough.  I wanted it shabby but not this much and with the bedding it needed to be more white. So yesterday I picked up an off white and today I painted it.

I am not the best painter and probably spraying it would have been better, but oh well and oops I should have sanded down some of the original painters drips, but I didn't…here it is after I painted it…see the drips? They stick out like a sore thumb at me now…speaking of which I cut my thumb this morning slicing a tomato…ouch! I don't want to try to fix them cause I think I will make more of a mess.

…and then I used my sanding block that is for the coordinations paper and I sanded it here and there.

I love the details it has on it.

Here it is…I guess with all the pillows you can hardly see the headboard let alone the drips. I love it and can't wait till Jacqui comes and sleeps in it.

Well this old gal is off to bed, my plain old one we have had forever…might need to look for one for us eh?

Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
