It all started with a pin I saw on Pinterest. Someone spray painted a thrift store lamp and made it look freaking awesome. It looked so easy. I'm crafty. I can do that shit. I decided to see what my local Goodwill had to offer in the lamp department. I walked out with two lamps and a new-found addiction. No really...it is an addiction. Goodwill is like my heroin. As I approach it on my way home from work everyday, my knuckles tighten on my steering wheel, sweat beads up on my forehead, and I tell myself, "I do not need another lamp, I do not need another lamp, I do not..." Yeah. I need another lamp. I'm an upcycling addict
So I made myself a lamp. And then another. And another. I gave one to my mom. Then my sister asked me to make her one. And then the other sister asked for one. Friends asked if I was selling them. "Nope, I'm not selling them." It dawned on me, holy shit, I could totally sell these. I just might.

| My very first upcycled lamp |
After spamming my friends' Facebook newsfeed with my upcycling projects, a friend suggested I start my own crafting blog. So here I am. And it begins. This will be a place for me to show off projects, thrift store finds, and hopefully even post some projects for all of you other crafty bitches and upcycle junkies to try. I hope to post on a semi-regular basis, but with a kiddo, full time job, and operating a homemade bath & body business, that may not always happen. But stick around...this is going to be fun!
