i CAN be crafty!

I have to admit- I am so jealous of people who are crafty.
I try. Really, I do.
But usually my crafting experiences usually end sadly.

For example, the very first time I met my dear friend Jamie, we were at a girls sleepover in college and we were painting terra cotta pots. Lets just say that was a tragedy I would like to forget, but Jamie will never let that happen...

Anyway, I recently decided to try my hand at crafty-ness once more.
I have been wanting to paint my bulletin board to hang my necklaces from.

So I went to hobby lobby.
I bought brushes.
I got paint and stencils...

Behold, my treasure!
