Welcome April

A month has gone by and only one post. One of my project 2012 goals was to post once a week.
My first quarter excuses:

January - I was focused on my Mom's party.

February - I recovered from my Mom's party! I was actually sick and missed a couple days of work.

Which brings me to March

My house has been for sale for almost a year with no offers. It really is a cute starter or start over home. The last person who looked at it said he didn't like the kitchen - and I told my realtor neither do I! She suggested I paint the kitchen cabinets because they were blue. So I painted them white which really helped. Then I looked at my lovely fake wood peel and stick tiles. I told a friend I wanted to replace them. She said she could help me lay ceramic tile. She and her wonderful husband gave up a weekend to tile. I had decided to add cabinets above the refrigerator and stove so I could attach a microwave. Th My kitchen is only 8 by 12 with 3 doorways, so getting rid of the microwave cart helped. I really love my kitchen now!

the new cabinets and microwave

the shelves are new too

The Craft Scrubbie does get off latex paint really well!

I hope to do some serious crafting in April along with some yard work.

Look Mom - clean hands!

I have no idea what I was looking for when I stumbled upon this product. I am a messy crafter. I usually have ink on my fingers. Glue and spray adhesives are the worst. I've tried loofahs and dandruff shampoo. I know I heard that tip from a rubber stamp convention. And yes I tried it! It didn't work any better than regular soap. Well this Craft Scrubbie from Ranger works. I didn't have to scrub forever. Now it costs around $5, which might be a little pricey for some. For me, it was worth it to get the glue and paint off my hands quickly. Where was this Scrubbie when I painted my house!
