I painted our mailbox blue with pink and red hearts all over it.......sigh....I think it was a little loud for hubby...lol...i still get teased about it to this day....What can i say? Love makes you do crazy things.... :) Hugs! debjinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30835283.post-80953147741447702522013-07-24T09:16:38.609-05:002013-07-24T09:16:38.609-05:00Oh my, June, I would have cried if the dog walked ...Oh my, June, I would have cried if the dog walked over one of my pieces.<br /><br />The Christmas Teddy pig story reminds me of the cable knit sweater I made for my first serious boyfriend. It had gorilla arm sleeves. lol.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30835283.post-19069561145968146972013-07-24T06:41:33.679-05:002013-07-24T06:41:33.679-05:00LOL... Oh, Eileen... how many I could share. Like...LOL... Oh, Eileen... how many I could share. Like the first attempt at the petroleum jelly resist I used in painting. It's supposed to resemble a peeling paint surface. It didn't.<br /><br />Oh, and there's the time when my ex and I were first married when I was making salt dough ornaments for our Christmas tree. I wanted to make a teddy bear dressed in a police uniform to represent him, but it turned out looking like a pig instead of a bear. Good thing he had a sense of humor about it.<br /><br />Or, how about the time I was painting a family crest for a client... the crest was 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall, and the only place I could work on it was sitting on the kitchen floor... worked great until just as I was almost finished the dog walked across the plate of red paint and all over the canvas...<br /><br />Oh my goodness, I could go on and on and on... but that's all in the fun of it, right? I've always said I've learned a whole lot more from my mistakes than I have by the things I got right!ACreativeDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987061792709372219noreply@blogger.com
