Hi Everyone :)

Last week was a great week got some projects done. Went to my mom's Sat. and gave her the card I made her for her birthday.

This is a picture of my mom taken in 1983. I grayscaled it and then used pastels to color in the hair, cheeks, flowers and some things you can't see because of the flowers ;) The flowers are handmade by me :) Some of the doilies and laces are vintage and the paper was Colorbok paper from Walmart :) She really liked it and I'm so tickled that she did ;)

I bought a vintage secretary desk w/ hutch on top at Goodwill. It was regularly $199 I got it on half price day and I had a $10 frequent shopper card so I got it for $99. I was going to paint it white but after getting it in my room today I've decided that the dark wood helps show off my shabby chic stuff better.

I'm not going to paint it but I do have to fix some scratches and make some minor
repairs and then I will sand and re-stain:)

Still plenty of room to add more stuff :)

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again :)
