Ta Daaaa!

At long last a Ta-Daaa moment for my little arty/scrappy/journal project.  have you been curious to what I have been doing?  All will be revealed at the bottom of the page....so don't scroll down just yet.

It all started last summer...I found this at school, on the skip ready to be thrown out.  


An old drawer, complete with markered writing...


Are you thinking what I thought?  A perfect shape for a printers tray...I then put it in the 'little blue shed' (which is now little sea green shed) and promptly forgot about it until earlier this spring when I had to fight my way in to find the lawnmower. 


So I got the power tools out...and visited my Mum so I could look in the garage for suitable wood...


Being neat with glue has never been my strong point...Then lots of painting, sticking and stamping later...

TA-DAAA!


I will go into more detail and close ups with a blog post later in the week but I don't want to bore you to tears with photo overload all on one day.

I may add a few more bits and bobs yet, a work in progress maybe?
