Crafty

The above adjective is not a word I would ever use to describe myself. I have had a bountiful amount of craft projects gone terribly wrong. It just doesn't come naturally to me. It actually hardly comes to me at all...I have really good intentions; I try really hard; I practice, and I have accepted the fact that I have been given different talents that help me out in a lot of areas outside of crafting.
Because none of this comes easy to me there is a project I have been working on for months that many people would knock out in a week or less. Despite it having taken so long to complete, I am very proud of it just for the fact that it turned out. It's not a disaster, and that's why I'm posting pictures.
Here is my dresser before (Don't mind the blue tape):
And here it is now:

I tried calling you so that I could say "Wow". You did a great job and maybe you just need to keep up at this crafting thing, it looks like it could come to you.

I think your non-craftiness has turned around! Awesome job!!!

Nice job Laura! I don't believe for a second that you aren't crafty! Just look at your living room!

Good job! I also consider myself to be a non-crafty person and I would never attempt something as big as this! Well done you!

SO cute! You did a great job! You are a lot braver than I am. I would never have tackled a project like that.
