It's been awhile....

It's been awhile since I dug out my crafting supplies and had some fun! T.K. gave me a book while I was visiting her. Love it!!!
  
Opened it up to page 17... and I was off! Off to the thrift store....Where I spent a whopping 50 cents for two of these :)
 Don't know where I'll use the second one, but for the extra 25 cents, figured it's cheaper than paying for the gas to go back even if I don't end up using it! ;) 
Next I was off to the hardware store where I picked up three wooden knobs for $3.00, brought them home and got out my black/brown paint...
Got out my tube of awesomeness. a.k.a. shoe goo...

And in just a short time... I have this sitting on my counter!  A base for my trail mix jar :) Hubby said he thought I'd lost my mind at first, but he really likes it! Double win!

Thanks T.K.!

Thanks for the book! A friend of mine came over, loved it... said she had some weights at home that used to be her sons. I told her I got mine at the thrift store down the block... "Oh yeah" she said, "I donated them!" Oops! LOL
