Finding My Creative Streak

I am the least creative or artistic person I know.

lol

But one of the reasons I started this blog was to motivate

myself to try things, even if I'm not good at it!

So the first artsy project I tried was whitewashing three wooden

boxes that I want to add to my laundry room.

 

I know this sounds like the easiest project on Earth and no

one can really fail at whitewashing, right? It doesn't exactly

take much skill or intellect to do!

Oh well, it made me feel better about myself!

Anyway, I did it! And it turned out just fine.

Maybe I could have used more water in my ratio but whatever,

it looks good and I'm proud of myself for completing a project!

 

Slowly but surely I'm getting this laundry room makeover done.

My husband comes home from deployment very soon,

we're talking DAYS.

I have a lot to finish up around here before then.

I'm glad I started some projects though because I really feel

like this deployment has flown by!

TOYbox May Signups!

I'm extending the date to sign up for May's TOYbox!

The new deadline is May 8, 2013.

We definitely don't have enough signed up yet to make matches.

Also, with everything that's been going on in my life, I haven't

been able to promote it as much as I'd like.

This has been such a fun activity for those who have participated,

I want to keep it going!

If you know a military spouse who could use some smiles,

tell them to sign up!

I will repost the information about May's TOYbox for those who are new :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will now be accepting sign ups for TOYbox May!

May is National Date Your Mate month so May's theme

will be DATE YOUR MATE :)

Links to sign up to send or receive a box are at the bottom of this post.

Sign ups are monthly, so if you signed up for April for either one,

you will have to sign up again to participate in May.
