ALS Auction Dresser!

The Dresser.

Swoon.

The process.

9" Craft Rings.

 Thankfully I traced the pieces before this happened.

 Gorilla Glue. Ooh Ooh! Ah Ah!

Clamped and Dried.

My plan was to spray paint but Henry is more cooperative than the weather, so good old dover white it is!

Signed Sealed and Delivered! The ALS Gala and auction is November 1st. Fingers crossed this chest of drawers pulls in a pretty penny for the cause. I'll report back!

Family Photo Year 2

Last year we hired a photographer to take 3 month photos of Oscar. We could only muster up enough cash for 2 prints. I had no idea how much the pros charge for the prints, holy cats!

We ordered this 5x7 of the little dude (I stole this image off of the photographers website with the gold ol' PrtScn button and I don't feel guilty.)

I sweet talked Henry into selling an internal organ for this 16x20 print of our family. I didn't even get a chance to steal a digital copy of this photo, so Oscar better love this print long after we are gone.

We thought it would be fun to take a pic in the same spot this year.

I love seeing the side-by-side comparison of how our family has changed over the past year. 

Dresser Posting Delays

I am biting my nails with anticipation to show you how the auction dresser turned out. You will LOVE, and I hope the bidders LOVE! 

Unfortunately, there was a hiccup in the process, here in Northern Minnesota the outdoor spray painting season is over! It is too chilly for the paint to dry evenly. Consider yourself warned! So, Henry helped me haul the dresser back inside to tackle it with the old fashion pail and brush method. 

To keep your crafting appetites wet, here is a little glimpse of what is shaking down in our living room.

Are you so excited?
