Mommy in the 'Dale

I'm a Mommy in the 'Dale to 2 kids, 2 cats, 1 dogs, and 13 chickens (stop with the unlucky 13..it's a bakers dozen!) I refinish furniture by redoing, revamping, and restoring one good find at a time! It's my version of recycling! I don't scrapbook because I'm a perfectionist and I suck at printing out pictures so this is as good as it gets for my kid's timeline of their lives. I'm also a part time social worker and this is my therapy to vent to keep me from going completely crazy.

Picture pages, picture pages, now it's time for picture pages

.......................Time to grab your CRAYONS and your pencils! (Bill Crosby--holla!!)

So, I am a waste-not kind of gal, I'm sure by now you know that. I prefer "Waste-not" over hoarder, so A &E step back!

Anyway, when I paint with chalk paint, which is priced like liquid gold, I am not eager to simply wash the excess paint on my brush down the el'sinko, so......I use the excess to dry brush frames that I have or buy mucho cheapo and upcycle pictures!

Perfect solution. So I give you the art show of September 2012, priced at "starving artist' prices-minus the cheesy "Starving artist" tv commercial.
