Busy Bee

I have been super busy lately being crafty so I thought I would share with you just a glimpse of what I've accomplished:

I saw this cute idea on a crafting blog I stumbled upon. I cut out a bunch of butterflies and wrote a life goal on each one and stuck it to the wall. When I complete a goal I take the butterfly off and put it in the jar.
On the jar I wrote, "Live life how you picture it."

I have close to 50 butterflies but I also wrote a few that I've already done so I could have some in the jar.

Next, I bought a $10 all-white dresser from D.I. and fixed it up a little.

I sanded the top down and painted it black and bought new drawer-pulls. I also sanded down the sides of the drawers and put candle wax on them so they would glide pretty smooth when I pull them in and out.

I have had way too much fun playing at the D.I. My latest purchase was four cute little flower pots. One of them was just a regular brick red terracotta pot which I painted black. I will soon be getting a variety of plant starts from my grandma. Let's just see if I can keep them alive. :)

My next big project that I have been wanting to do for months is update and reprint songs in my guitar song book. I broke it up into 5 groups: Pop, Country, Oldies, Movies, and Church.My next step is to make a table of contents so I can find the songs quickly.

I'm not even close to be done crafting for the summer. I also have a dress that needs to be made, letters to be decorated, crocheting that needs to be finished and much, much more. I love a summer full of crafting!!! :D
