Happy Thanksgiving!

Annie hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving for all of us. Here she poses in front of her fireplace at her new house.
She proved herself as a top-notch cook and hostess. The ham was the best ever, the turkey was wonderful. The stuffing was hands-down, no-contest, the best I have ever had.

She set a gorgeous table. Note the bench on the left side. It is a very neat find.
She even took it to a whole. nutha. level...

Turkey cheeseball!


Mesa's Dresser- Before and After

I had bought a dresser several years ago at a junk shop. I didn't really know what I would do with it, but it had two huge drawer and a mirror on the top. I started stripping the paint right away, but put the project aside when I got to the mirror. It had some router work on the frame that was giving me fits when I tried to remove the paint.
So when Mesa needed a dresser, I just stained the dresser and then did some painting on the mirror so that I could get it done. (instant gratification)

The colors on the mirror frame match the colors of her curtains, which are bandanas. They also match the little decoupage that I did on the drawers.

One drawer says "Cowgirl" and the second drawer says "Gear." The next time we want to redo her room, we can just scrape these off pretty easily.
