Here is a sneek peek of a couple of albums I have been working on. 


Here is a baby boy album, for a friend who just had a little boy.... 


I like the color combination of this album. I like using the black accents for a change.

Here is a project I did the other day. I have been wanting to refinish this armoire for a long time but didn't know what I really wanted to do. I have been following Miss Mustard Seeds Blog for a while  and she just started a new line of milk paint. You can see her blog at www.missmustardseed.blogspot.com, I have watched her tutorials over and over and finally got the courage to give it a try. I have done a lot of painting over the years, but I have never painted furniture or used milk paint. How bad can it be? Right? Here is the armoire before I started
Actually.. I started before I remembered my camera to take pictures


Here it is after the first coat of  Kitchen Enamel Milk Paint


And here is my helper!

Actually... him sleeping was a big help!!

And here is a picture of the finished product




I thought it came out great for a first attempt. I am now looking around the house to see what else I can paint. That is the way it happens!!
Enjoy...
