Another new computer-yikes!

Well, blogbuds, I am now on my 3rd computer in 4 months! This time, I bought my own so this one better last forever! You might remember that right after the holidays, my desktop crashed. Then I was using the office laptop. That crashed on Saturday morning (that one had been used by several people in the past so it wasn't totally unexpected). My computers do not seem to like holiday weekends, since that is when they pick to crash! I now have a brand new one and (knock wood) I think this one is a keeper. Meanwhile, I lost all of my pictures that were on the old laptop, as well as all of my borders and web dividers, because the motherboard died and the laptop can't be opened. At least I have the pics that are on my 2 slide shows that I can download. But I will have to replenish everything I lost.

Did you hear that I won a giveaway!!!??? Yes, I won Beth's giveaway at http://ragggedyangel.blogspot.com/!!! I am so excited, because I have NEVER won a giveaway, ever!! So thank you Beth, and I'll be sure to show pics!

I still haven't had a chance to finish all of the GW goodies, but I did want to show you what I did with the shelf. It looked like this when I got it:and I painted it and aged it to look like this: I decided to be practical with this one and use it in the kitchen:

I'm really getting back into some prim colors, so I redid one of my spoon holders to look like this.
You can't quite see the black peeking through in this pic -- I really like the black as an undercoat and the prim colors as a top color and then sanded. You can see that with the little drawer thingie that is now finished.
Well, the guys are here doing some maintenance in the apt, and making a mess. Of course. BIG FAT LAZY FURRY BOY has to be watching, supervising, and just generally getting in their way! Good thing they like kitties! He just has no fear of anyone!Hope everyone has a good day. As soon as the guys leave, I'm off to see clients, and we're having a rainy day here. In fact, we're supposed to have rain for the next 3 or 4 days (April showers bring May flowers, right?) Later! Have a great day, everyone!
