My Project

You know how a lot of people work on home-improvement projects while listening to Conference on Saturday? This was mine:



It didn't look like much after I was "done", so I changed it a bit. Everyone who knows me knows that I do not know when to stop! The frame ended up a solid pink and the numbers were hand-written in white on the second go-around. This was not attractive, to say the least. So I started over with the frame and completely spray-painted the base. Again, I do not know when to stop! Finally, after it was all put back together, I hung it on the wall. Something still was not right. Oh yeah, Tole Painting! (catch the hint of sarcasm....)

I finally knew I had to stop.

I'm not sure if I like it or not; on the one hand, my pride is telling me that it fits nicely into Siena's room, but on the other hand, I have looked at it too many times and "something is just not right."

So this is where I am at the end of my home-improvement project... at a crossroads of emotion.

I've seen you work and re-work things, this turned out really good. Change is always fun! I like the positioning of the numbers and the cute flower holding the hands. My moto is "less is more" when it comes to projects.
