Makeover Mishap

Due to my procrastination and poor-quality spray paint...today's makeover project is canceled. I thought I could pull this whole bird-themed makeover together within a few hours (it was going to be titled "For the Birds") but, alas, twas not to be.

I bought two cute birdies from Jo-Ann's and thought I could transform them into bright yellow birds for my mantel. Things I learned:

• There is a reason Valspar spray paint is cheaper than Krylon.
• If, after spray-painting an object, you are not liking the way it's looking, DO NOT put said object under running water to rinse off wet paint. You will have a sticky mess on your hands...literally. (I spent 10 minutes scrubbing my hands with Goo Gone.)
• Some crafts can still be successful under a time-crunch...some cannot.
• Spray painting in the house is a decidedly BAD idea...fumes!

So, anyway, no makeover today but hopefully a non-makeover post sometime this week. And, while I have many makeovers still to complete, I will not be posting them every Monday any longer. You saw this coming didn't you? We had a good run anyway. :)
