Will the Project Ideas Never End?

And will I actually get something done?

Hit a thrift store after Baby Bee's basketball game Saturday afternoon and picked up a few items to sell on my etsy shop.

And there it was.....

another distraction to keep from finishing projects I already have and at the same time inspiring me to get started on a new one.

A vintage globe.....
yes, a vintage globe that Worker Bee* can not get his hands on.  
I have plans for it.  

Hmmmm.....what to do......what to do......
 Chalk paint?

 Decoupage? 

Adding some words?

Don't worry Mr. Globe.  You are in good hands.
(cue the maniacal laugh - ba ha ha ha ha)

  2. Such a good idea. I had one and didn't really want to use it to teach with because of how old it was (wrong info);P, this could have been perfect. Of course, my children already destroyed it :D.

  6. Oh I love that chalkboard one. Just don't let him see it until the deed is done. I hear you on the projects. I need to finish up my daughter's room and just get in there. Life keeps getting in the way.

  8. I think the globe has come to live the right place. The chalkboard paint is a great idea. Cannot wait to see the room done.

  15. Can't wait to see Mr. Globes makeover. I did kind of a map theme in hubby's office. Thought it would be fun to collect globes for him. After two he said, "o.k. that's enough". Darn, doesn't he know, the more the merrier? lol! You trained Mr. Bee right.
    Hugs,
