So for those that might have noticed I was gone...

this is what I have been up to! Why am I posting this, you ask? Well, this little baby (and another just like it that I am working on) is going to make me want to spend all my waking moments in my craft room...hah!

This "little" project gives a whole new meaning to "sweat equity", since it was at least 115 degrees in my garage while I worked on it. To confess, I am really not what you would call a "junkin" type of person, but my daughter and I saw this beauty:



at the Salvation Army and I felt it had potential! I have been wanting to redo my craftroom and had been looking at tables...apparently in the wrong places. This puppy was $65 but I did not have a way to haul it that day, so I went back the next day with my hubby's truck. Well, if it wasn't half price day at the SA...score baby! My cost $32.50.

So with a little elbow grease, I got it to this stage:



A little more lovin' got it here:



And this is the finished project:



What do you think...worth the effort? Total investment about $50! I am currently working on another table and my desk to go with.

I am hoping my new craft room will get me out of my "funk" and the creative juices will start flowing again!

Have a creative day!
