First

Well, Here is my first project for the year!

My brother has been housing Riley Bug's tortoise since we moved and Riley lately has been begging for him to come home!

My brother kept reminding me that I needed to get something to stick him on since I had no other space to put him! 

Yesterday, as I was looking at goodwill for something Dale reminded me that we had a dresser in the garage that we weren't using and that it would be perfect for what we needed!

So I went to Home Depot an bought the supplies I needed to fix up the ugliest dresser in history and came home!

It was just after 7 when I started.... I started the process inside with Kilz. I just laid a very large tarp down and rolled my hand muscles away! 

(My hand KILLED after..

Its been too long since I touched a rolling pin.)

Then I moved the dresser out into the freezing dark night to finish the job by spray painting!

By the time I was done my fingers had frost bite, my toes had frost bite and I think my snot turned into icicles. TMI? sorry...

But I got it all done and overnight it dried up and this is the result.

Complete with turtle and all!

Can I just say how BIG this guy is getting?! 

He used to be about the size of a quarter or silver dollar  and now he takes up the entire space of my palm. Its pretty cool! 

Dale and I love the finished result and I cant wait to start the rest of the projects I have lined up to finish!
