Late to my own party!

So here’s the deal.

Sometime within the last few weeks, I thought to myself, “Hey, I think it’s been a year since I started blogging!” I checked my handy-dandy blog dashboard, and sure enough, I started in July 2010. And I could swear that the first post was on July 25, so I decided that would be the day to start a giveaway. Well, guess what. Apparently I have been wordier than I thought, and there was another, older page of old posts! Huh. Apparently my “blogiversary” was on July 14! But…better late than never, right?

I browsed though my “project” folders on my computer, and I’d thought I’d share a few of my favorites…most from before the days before I knew anything about picture editing or staging (and I still don’t know a lot)!

This may be the project that started it all. I wanted a wall unit for my front room, and this is the result. I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to re-paint them in a creamy white now…bookcases

A pink chandelier for my daughter’s bedroom…

light 001

Learning to use my secondhand Cricut (I’m a Silhouette girl now)!

bed1

A polka-dot headboard…

polkadot 018

Learning that spray paint comes in such fun colors!

cardfile3

A bench makeover before I learned how to re-cane furniture…

Dee 023

I wanted to keep this library table so bad. My husband wanted to keep his IKEA desk. What’s up with that??

library2

Recycling an old canvas…

P1000415

Still in love with these schoolhouse chairs!

numberchairs3

I’m a sucker for red (and more numbers)…

red7

I love numbers on pretty much anything!

SAM_0251

And not just numbers…I just love typography, as demonstrated by my French chocolate coffee table (my most popular project ever)!

P1000731

Hope you enjoyed your trip down memory lane with me!

Most importantly, I want to say

image

to all of you who have taken the time to make kind comments, give advice, encouragement, and support. I love the “blog world,” and I’m happy I joined up!

Now, for the giveaway!

The winner will receive a beadboard sign of his/her choice!

If you have a particular saying, color, size, etc…I can work with that.

Here are a few ideas to get you going, but I’m open to all sorts of possibilities!

    one good thing that happened--Louie (the grand dog that I have permanent custody of) ASKED for a bath! I was getting ready to take a shower, and he walked in the bathroom, and looked into the tub. Usually when I mention "bath" he runs. But, not today... he just kept looking at the tub. Not sure why he wanted a bath, but I love it when he communicates with me like that! (now I get to cuddle with a clean pup)

The good thing that happened today was the joy of a really great laugh. My mother-in-law used her new waterproof camera to video herself going down a waterslide. Her and I laughed until we cried as we watched it together. It is amazing what a good laugh will do for you. Thank you so much for all of your amazing projects and inspiration! Can't wait to see what other wonderful ideas you show us!

    Good thing that happened to me today:

    I was holding my breath all the way to Home Depot with big sheets of metal in the back of my truck that if we were in an accident, would cut off our heads. I held my breath pretty much the whole way there and after exchanging for another color, the whole way home. Big sheets of metal for the chicken coop roof. :) The fresh eggs sign would look awesome on their coop when we finally get the dumb thing finished.

    I work at a nursing home as a C.N.A/Team Leader in the Dementia Unit. And when I got to work, one of my residents looked at me and said, "Where have you been, Sandi? I missed you. It's not the same without you here." And that made my day. This resident never called me by my name before and is a very quiet resident. So her acknowledgeing that I wasn't there (I had the day off) just melted my heart.
