DIY Headboard!! *First*


So I had yet to attempt a DIY project, at least involving anything power tool based anyway (dirty mind)!  So, after pleading and compromising for a couple of months...Mr. Fed (my man) finally decided it was time!! You have to understand that if he isn't ready then it won't happen for a while, BUT when he is...He gets what I call "Project Happy" and decides that everything has to be done now! Not tomorrow, but now! So, I had originally presented him with a plan from http://ana-white.com/, involving a headboard and footboard...But ultimately compromised on just a headboard. Hey, I'm not complaining...Mr. Fed wanted me to settle with a couple pieces of trim mounted in the shape of a square above the bed...I was not about to let that happen, lol!!  So, off to home depot he went (Mind you it's pouring snow outside)...while I stayed back and did womanly things like clean...Blah!  He got back unloaded all of the wood and proceeded to make the appropriate cuts (with my help of course!)

So handsome with his circular saw!! - See I'm helping!

Long story short...an hour later we had a headboard!  So easy!


and...after a quick paint job with some left over white paint...
VOILA!!
Highly recommend either refinishing or creating your own piece of furniture!  Not only are you recycling, but you are saving a TON of $!

Cheers!

Big plans for 2011!

Hopefully you are reminded just how grateful you are, for the time you have.  Take every moment to express your love...because gessh (explitive deleted*) once you hit 30, time flies!!  I Was able to spend Christmas in Phoenix, with my sisters and niece and nephew. It's absolutly amazing how quickly they grow up...I love love love watching these little people experience life :) So, I have been struggling for some time now to finally get a DSLR of my own.  For now, I have been borrowing my friends camera but it's not the same...Nichole you have been a blessing to let me borrow yours!  It's seems to be really difficult to save up and put down $500 smakeroos...BUT for myself I have to do this, I can not put it off any longer!!  This crazy passion within, I don't know where it comes from but it's not going away any time soon, haha!! So, for all you folks out there who need a FREE photographer or would love to model for me...Hit me up!! My BF and friends are getting tired of me documenting Everything...including the weather with my IPhone! ha

Goals for 2011 are:
  • Purchase my very first, very own Canon EOS Rebel
  • Take a photography course through Colorado Free University http://www.freeu.com/
  • Go back to school (.) Period! 
  • Become a carpenter!!  (Seriously excited about this!) - Nervous about learning how to use the circular saw though :(
  • Oh yea...and loose the same damn 10 lbs that I promised to lose in 2010.  My diet starts Monday, lol!!  I swear!  I'm 30 now...no excuses!
  • Figure out my creative nack...It's there, I just need to tap into it!
Here are a few pics from my Christmas visit in Phoenix....Enjoy!








Cheers!
