My last blog post was dated April 29, 2012. So much has happened with our family/living situation/jobs/life since that time. We lost our house (it is what it is and I have finally made peace with it). We moved to a small town. . . It took a little getting used to but I love it! Our son stayed to finish out his senior year and play football (I don't know that he would have ever forgiven us if we made him move). Our oldest got a great job with a great company and now lives on her own. So 3 kiddos made the move with us and it made this Momma sad to leave 2 behind. Change is inevitable, but that doesn't make it any easier. My little birdies are starting to leave the nest.
I have really missed blogging. It is my creative outlet. I love painting furniture, giving old discarded items a new life and new home. Sometimes it is the find that gives me the biggest thrill. With the discovery of Caromal Colours Paint, re-doing furniture has never been easier. It is simply the best. No sanding before you start painting your piece so you get to the fun part right away. This paint bonds to almost anything.
The very first piece we have ever painted was this:
Here is another one of our first pieces:
But, my very favorite piece of furniture we painted so far was this one, named Kennedy:
I found that naming each piece gave them a little personality.
So I may have already lost all of my followers, but I hope to gain you back one by one, plus a whole lot more.
Here is the first piece I will be painting in my second phase of blogging:
A tall, very plain, part particle board, part wood dresser that will be transformed shortly. Check back to see the results.
Also, last time I blogged (almost 2 years ago), I was having a contest and once I reached 100 followers, I was going to give away a jar of Caromal Colours paint. I am at 100 followers, not sure how many are left, but I will run the contest through to the end of February 2014 and will draw a winner on March 1, 2014. Just leave a comment below to enter to win.
Here's to many more posts, many more projects, and many more adventures.

Tif, I had to do it. I missed it terribly. Did you order your paint?
