The anticipation for the finished project is what takes you over

and

the gratitude when your projects

are finished

make you swell from the inside out with

PRIDE!!!!

It is amazing to see how many people laugh or initially think I am kidding when they hear what I do....I actually have to show them pictures of my work before they really believe me. 


Is it because I work in a professional atmosphere during the day?!?!
Because I dress up at work and wear heels during the day?!?!?!
Because I am girly and don't look like a tomboy....
until i am in the "workshop"...LOL
OR
Do they laugh and think were kidding because girl and power tools are rarely in the same sentence?!?!?!

HMMMM....will we ever know?


Trust me and if you visit my blog and have seen pictures...the heels come off and my shop clothes are on and I am a working fool :)
AND I LOVE IT!!!!!




YES....a paint brush is a tool :)
I do remember to wear gloves all the time now so I don't end up with man hands ;)



NO....a beer bottle is not a tool
(see the pride I had just finished the daybed/couch)
that was a well deserved beer I even put his tux Cooley on for the occasion....pretty sad my beer was better dressed than I was...bahaahaaahaa



Wow not many pics of me actually working

Dedication, determination and self discipline

(a previous post regarding weight loss but can be used and should be used in any situation....its amazing what anyone can do if they just apply themselves)

IT WORKS :)

YOU HAVE TO WANT IT
TO GET IT!!!!

NOW GO GET IT!!!!
