My son, some fun...and guess what I won?

This may be rated PG for violence...we were doing a little "Top Shot" tonight!  (If you haven't watched that show, then that comment just went zooming over your head!  I watch it...can you believe that?  To me it's just another reality show...and I love my reality!)  William came over tonight and brought his school project.  To destroy.  And he did.  It was a booger of a project to do...and a little target practice was just the ticket to let off a little steam!  I was thinking it would explode when he hit it, but it didn't!

His project:  A styrofoam head...

Well...that was a little redneck, huh?  So, on to some fun stuff!

Why oh why can't I remember to take "before" pictures?  I bought a lamp from the thrift store for $3.99...U.G.L.Y!  No doubt!  Terra cotta lamp with a terra cotta colored shade.  And I didn't get a before picture of the lamp...but I did of the shade, so...use your imagination:

I painted it white (the lamp) and when I went to B'ham with 'Bama Girl, I bought a shade for $14.   An $18 lamp...not bad!

It's for my bedroom and I also hung this frame and an urn (?) which was flat on one side that I found in a box in the garage.  (If it's ugly...let me know!)

David and  I went to Attalla, AL this past week-end for a little antique shopping and I bought a set of TV trays, so I used one in the bedroom:

I also bought a chair and ottoman.  I'm going to redo this room for David's office, you can see a small portion of the wallpaper border...yuck!:

That was the fun...and this...is what I won!   Susan over at Days Too Short had a giveaway!

                                                                        So true!
