a finished project!


Thanks to Carla's encouragement yesterday I completed a project that had been pending since September.  Four months ago my favorite thrift store was selling everything at 50% off.  I spied this little lamp for $7 and got it on sale for $3.50!  It's been needing to get painted ever since then.  Yesterday Carla encouraged her readers to "get that little 'something' you’ve been meaning to do forever & a day, finally DONE!"  Knowing that it wouldn't take long to paint the lamp I chose it as my project to complete!  It's not perfect...I didn't tape off the underside so there is a bit of paint splatter underneath where the light bulb goes.  But, it's finally DONE!!!

@sft, LBC, Carla, HP and Bette - thank you! Now I just need to clear off a space on my desk and get it plugged in. Paint does wonders to any project! :)
