Getting ready for the BABY!!!!

I told myself two days ago...."Self...you need a tiny chest of drawers or end table that you can have in the family room that will hold Baby Essentials" So I got myself in the car and drove down to DI...Low and BEHOLD...this $8 perfect find....
So I decided to paint it white and then told myself..."Self I need to make some number stamps and birds on a stick stamps..."so i whipped those out with my NOT SO ARTIST sketching ability. All you need is sticky matted foam "stuff" in the craft isle at Walmart.
Draw your art on the back and then cut out, peel the paper off cut a piece of wood and stick it to it...EASY CHEESY! These are my numbers and my other bird on the wood....
Then sand to your liking....I went outside to get my sander and my Darling little Derby (Our newest member of the family,  wire hair fox terrier) chewed the cord completely off the sander...NOT A HAPPY moment in my life....so I had to resort to hand sanding it....which I H.A.T.E! But i do LOVE how it turned out.
Add a coat of Clear Spray paint and Vaaaww-La!
 A place for diapers, wipes, plugs/binki's, clothing, burp clothes...that I can send my kids to fetch for me.
