pretty covered boxes - finished

A few weeks ago while I was waiting for my camera to charge so I could tackle my giant stack of potential eBay revenue, I decided I was tired of looking at my super trashy kitchen organization. Of course I still don’t have glass in the cabinet doors, but at least I can make what’s…

Star Wars painted rocks

This is pretty funny. I was looking for information on the 3D Star Wars release date for my husband when I stumbled on this little gem.
