Saturday morning and I am blog hopping. It is truly overwhelming what’s out there. Something that I keep seeing is how much we all want to connect and share our stories, talents, pain, our lives. But if we’re all locked on to our computers, how will we meet the actual flesh and blood people and interact in real life? I worry about this for future generations… but it’s probably one of those circle of life things. In 30 years, meeting real people will be the exciting new trend!
Gave in and bought another EK Success punch yesterday- a one inch scalloped circle. Today is going to be a fun playing around day- rainy and yucky- maybe I will even clean up here a little.
Now it’s Sunday night and I am sick. Cold, runny nose, feverish…
But luckily I have a cool thrift store find to show you. It was a plain wooden tissue box that I spray painted with Krylon Ballet Slipper pink. After the base coat had dried, I stuck a bunch of self-adhesive foam flowers over the whole box and then sprayed them pink also. It took hardly any time and could be tailored to fit the character of any room. This will go in the room that Trinity will be staying in when she comes for a month in May. Before I take it upstairs, I also plan to give a final coat of sealer.
Look at how darling that turned out! You just know she’s going to love it! Sorry to hear about the cold – let me know how it’s progressing and we can figure out lunch. The boys are off on Friday, so maybe Wednesday?
I love what you said about connecting on the computer and the whole circle of life thing. The tissue box is totally cute and having a cold simply blows…pun intended. Get well soon…and keep bringing us these great blogs. I’m hooked!
Adorable, Eileen! You make everything look so darn easy ;*)
