PinterTest Kitchen: tree stump ornament...why do I keep crafting?

Happy Thursday!
I woke up to a snot face and a smile from this little sick girl


Now its the first thursday of the month
which means PinterTest Kitchen!

Its been a couple months since my last PinterTest experience
So I thought I'd give a whack at crafting again
FAIL
why do I keep crafting?

but here it is

 I pinned this little baby during the month of November



Come November 29th we picked up our Christmas Tree
and I gave the tree-cutter person specific instructions to slice a 1 1/2" piece off the stump



and then the poor thing sat in the garage 
alone
in the cold
untouched
for three months
until today

SUPPLIES


STEP 1
sand down grains on the stump

STEP 2
attempt to trace desired date on stump with a pen

STEP 3
realize that will not work because stump is still too grainy



STEP 4
try to ignore the screaming child trying to break into the kitchen


STEP 5
cut out individual printed numbers
and place on stump
and paint with desired color


               

STEP 6
let dry
and decorate


STEP 7
be content
remembering this is meant to be a keepsake
not a product for my non-existent Etsy shop

Linking up with Jessica

  1. i LOVE it! seriously cute, carrie! and duh. didn't even think to have the tree lot guy cut a piece off. i tried to saw it off myself and gave up in our driveway. no joke. and the stump was HUGE anyway. sad times. i love how it turned out. now go unlock that baby from her cage. ;)
