the finished project

This is it. It is finally finished. My three dollar chair is beautiful!

Bubba ended up doing the painting for me as I am not much with a paintbrush.

The color that I chose was cocoa by Devine designs. The colors in this line are amazing.

I found the "Vintage blue" ribbon at a store downtown. I so much like ribbons and bows and any thing feminine, but I don't want to go over the top.

Please let me know what you think...ribbon or no ribbon?

I know not to mention my "ailments" but I have to share this funny with you anyway.

This past week I developed a fever blister on my bottom lip. It quickly grew to the size of a cantaloupe, well almost.

I have never had one of these and I was amazed by it. I gave my magnifying mirror a permanent spot on the vanity and watched it get bigger and bigger. I felt like it was taking over my face.

A couple of days ago when I was getting ready to take my shower I looked down on my stomach and noticed a large ring. It was flaming red and its circumference was the size of the mouth of a glass. I thought, "Oh my goodness, some strange virus has overtaken my body."

Bubba was called in to consult and he said it looked like I had pressed something that size to my stomach and caused the indentation.

Thinking back a couple of hours I remembered that my black spray paint can had busted and I was was trying to fix it. I must have pressed the can into my stomach for a long time.

In a couple of hours the huge circle started fading and disappeared.

After many swabs of hydrogen peroxide and L lysine cream the blister is going away too.

I must say I miss the thing. It was intriguing to watch.
