Krista's Great Big Blog of Everything!

I am all for my toddler exploring her creative side, just not the mess that goes with it. I've seen a lot of articles and blogs boasting about bath tub paint or crayons. I love the idea but they get pretty pricey! So I did a quick google search and found this genius idea! Take some vanilla pudding, divide it up and add food coloring. That's it! Quick, easy, fun, no worries if your kid eats it, like mine did. And it easily washes right down the drain!  SUCCESS!!

Just a normal Saturday morning, having a garage sale at a friends house. She's selling off all her furniture preparing for a cross country move. The gentleman who decided to buy her couch already had a vanity in the back of their truck. It was ugly shiny black, but it had good bones. I could already imagine how beautiful it could be. As I'm drooling over the vanity, one of the guys says I can have it since they can't fit it back in the truck with the couch. SCORE!! So this is what I brought home...  It was very poorly painted and a bit wobbly, but I figured it would be a quick easy project! And that was my first mistake! Once I got it home I quickly realized there were more than a few coats of paint.

This is my very first post on my new blog! I had a blog called The Crafty Navy Wife, but I felt limited to only craft posts. So I decided to make a fresh start. This blog will be home to all forms of my crazy! My life, my family, and my projects-both the successes and the disasters! I am always working on one project or 4... and life always seems to interrupt. I am a master procrastinator, but it makes it that much better when I finally finish something! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you all have a wonderful day!
