Week to weekend~

I have a terrible addiction to blue.

Blues of every color.

So when my sister gave me the idea to paint the chairs  I was trying to sell in her

 yard sale...I knew the color.

I took them back home, (kicking myself for even trying to sell them in the first place. I had forgotten you could take old stuff and make it new:)

~Remember the desk she re-did for me?~

I took these....

....pulled out the blue....

...and turned them into something I would use in my home.

I can't wait to get my paint on the old dresser in my room.

(Is it wrong to want to paint everything?)

This weekend I am taking these:

and am off to  Calgary to run a 10mile race around a mountain trail.

I have never run 10 miles straight before.....maybe 9, but not 10.

I am really looking forward to it. If nothing else....I am always at home in the mountains:)

AND, I am going to be with the person who inspired me to start running in the first place.

See her blog  HERE.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend....

Desk Re-done

Isn't it great that all of us like to do different things....and we don't all have the same talents as everyone else?

If that were true, it would have meant I would have had to re-do this old ugly

 desk I bought when I was a teenager.

But I didn't.

My sister  did.

And I am so grateful she has talent in this area!

She turned this desk:

Into this desk:

So happy she has talent in the make-over area and enjoys doing things like this!

I have a lot more old, ugly

furniture sitting in the basement......(hint, hint)

thanks, sis!
