My Latest Altered Thrift Store Find....

Hi Girls..

This is going to be one of those posts with lots of pictures so beware.

I recently altered a small boring wood planter box that I purchased at the Goodwill store for $2.99 using some spray primer, Martha Stewart craft paint and some pretty coordinating floral patterned scrapbook paper which I adhered with Modge Podge.

This was what it looked like when I first started, after sanding the planter...



 
 
The next step after spraying with primer was to give it two coats of Martha Stewart craft paint.  The paint color is called "Cloud"...
 



And to regress for just a moment, before starting anything, I first sized and precut all the paper pieces I would need.  Kind of like puzzle pieces waiting to be put together...
 
 

And to get back on track, once the paint was dry, I got out my trusty bottle of Modge Podge and adhered all the precut pieces into place.  And this is the end result...

 

 
 

This was definitely another fun alteration project and I hope you enjoyed seeing how it went from start to finish.

I'm going to keep this in my craft room to hold some of my crafting supplies.

See you again soon!!!

I was diagnosed about 5 years ago with HIV and have lived taking ARV and thought of having Herbal medicine to cure this disease completely. I wouldn't be able to bear Vomiting and my tongue would go white because of these diseases called HIV/Aids. I learned to live with it but I have definitely prayed and had hands laid on me, My friends at work knew about my HIV Status so on a faithful day my friend Hannah talk to me about this great man called Dr Itua From west African because my friend Hannah is from West African too she came to acquire degree here in South Carolina, I accepted the challenge and contacted Dr Itua Herbal Center...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com also chats on Whatsapp Number.+2348149277967. Then he delivered his Herbal medicine to me which was labeled as Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cure For HIV/Aids, I took it as he instructed. After two weeks I went to the test and I was tested Negative. I'm still writing on every blog site related to the following diseases such as HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus, Shingles, Hepatitis B/C, Because he cures this kind of disease.
