My New Mailbox!
« on: Jan 06, 2009, 02:42:14 PM »
I'm not sure just where this posting belongs! I hope this is the right place. 

But, I got a mailbox for $5.00 at a second hand store.   I decided I wanted some decorations on it, and since I can't afford a professional job, I thought I'd do it myself. 

So, I bought some acrylic paints at Michaels Craft Store and used some old paint brushes that my 10 year old had laying around.  (After this experience, my advice is to spend the money on some good paint brushes, and ya, I know they are expensive!)

Anyway, here is the finished product. 



I think that it does reflect my love of outdoors/gardening/flowers, etc.
Just thought I'd share, Have a good day! Peg
How are you?  I'm great!  Glad to see you! Hope we meet again!

I love it, Peggy! I bet it gives the mailperson a smile to see it, too... :grinnnn:

They had arcrylics on sale at michaels when I was there so I got some.  Now you have given me an idea of where I can use them.
