Jewelry Box Makeover

Today I decided to spend the day being creative by giving my childhood jewelry box a new, adult makeover.

This is what it looked like before ...

And here it is after a coat of paint.

I am really pleased with the color! The paint I used is a Valspar Color Sampler from Lowe's. - I think it is perfect for little projects like this one! 

"La Fonda Mindoro" is the color I used.

A Caterpillar Kind of Sunday

I've been getting lucky lately when it comes to capturing amazing looking critters. First it was that amazing looking leaf bug, then a beautiful moth, and now this cool looking caterpillar!
