What is the one event you looked forward to the most?…

    As Promised….

    I had made myself a promise that I was going to finish various things I have started recently.  One being the trunk I bought last year at a garage sale.  I really didn’t like the trunk as it was…..one of my daughters thought it was alright….the other had no real opinion.  Me ~ I had specific ideas for that trunk when I bought it ~ it has just taken a while for it to come to fruition.  It still isn’t quite complete, but moving along.  I wanted to show you before and after…….   Before…..brown with a yucky plastic liner.  I ventured to guess this had been stuck away in some one’s garage for…
