I'm in the market for......

 IF YOU GUESSED A CRAFT TABLE YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!! DING, DING, DING!!!!

These two craft tables are sort of similar to what I am looking for! I will be going to Ikea on tomorrow to get what I need.  I had a beautiful GLASS, dining room table that I worked on, and even though it was long and wide, it wasn't really functional.  I was always scared of breaking it! and eventually that's what happened.  It broke! I walked in my craft area and it tipped and fell over and shattered! I was devastated.  That was December 18th! R.I.P to my craft table.

I even shed a few tears.......


SERIOUSLY!

Now that I am no longer in mourning, I picked myself up by my bootstraps and decided to get a more FUNCTIONAL table,  yet STYLISH AND THE MOST IMPORTANT AFFORDABLE.   I have a kid in college and one who will soon be on her way! I HAVE TO SPEND MY NICKELS AND DIMES WISELY! KWIM??????


SO, i decided to get my table top and chair from Ikea, but my shelving units are from Target and in typical DANA fashion, my table top, bookshelves, and chair are not the same color! Nope! But, I am not going to spoil anything.  Once I get it all set up.  You will be the first to see it!!!!


I am so excited! Just hope nothing gets in the way of me going to IKEA on tomorrow!  Hubby promised he would take me to get everything on tomorrow! Can't hardly wait!

I have been challenged! !!!

I was challenged by my friend Julie to showcase my art. So,  I selected a few of my favorite creations.  I took various screenshots of my work on pinterest and instagram.  I know.  Lazy!  But I have a busy day ahead and I wanted to make sure I got it done!  I included art journaling entries,  12x12 layouts, atcs, tags,  smashbook entries, and a mini album i created!!! I hope you enjoy! 

Until next time!

December Daily FAIL!

About this December Daily thing...
The plan was to have everything done by January 7th, so that I could focus focus on Project Life. Well.......that didn't  happen. I'm not done with my December Daily nor have I started Project Life. I'm really behind schedule. I like to give myself deadlines, because if I spend too much time on one project,  I get bored fast! Am I the only one????? LOL


I plan on finishing up this week. The goal, at this point, is to simply GET HER DONE!!!!!

PLUS, I am so Over this December Daily, Christmas, Christmas Decorations (btw, mine are still up,just let that sink in for a minute), Christmas movies, Bah Humbug and Ebenezer!!!!

I can't wait to start something new and fresh! I get so excited when I start new projects I know I am NOT alone. However, I don't like to have TOO many projects going at the same time. KWIM??? Maybe NOT! LOL

The next time I post, the DD will be done. Or let's just say.....I HOPE!  Please feel free to link your DD's in the comments.  I would love to see them! Sidetone, Please say a prayer for my husband's grandmother, she is 93 years old and suffering from pneumonia. That is her pictured with my husband a week before Christmas.  Thanks again for stopping by!!


Until next time!
