We love it, but some how (and I'm sure me or Kristin screwed it up) but our Social Network buttons quit working and so did the tab buttons at the top. So we contacted <a href="http://www.simplyklassicdesign.com/">Kristin</a> from Simply Klassic Blog Design and she hooked us up! We also had Pinterest added to the buttons. Twist of Dazzle now has its own account so head over and follow us!<a href="http://pinterest.com/twistofdazzle/">http://pinterest.com/twistofdazzle/</a> Be sure to head over to Kristin's website and check out all her stuff. She was so helpful and super easy to work with.<br />
<br />
Happy Monday everyone!!!<br />

I finally decided to give it a little makeover. So I sanded it down</span><br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sq5mNDDerGU/TyXahoy423I/AAAAAAAABE4/De7dVDZZvjc/s1600-h/P1010012%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="P1010012" height="239" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_wu7gmXyUgo/TyXahyHOLmI/AAAAAAAABFA/sTSFI0Tu7rw/P1010012_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: inline;" title="P1010012" width="179" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KzvUZj1dwYo/TyXaiWXT2uI/AAAAAAAABFI/ivygjYbZNTU/s1600-h/P1010013%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="P1010013" height="241" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-NgCzYIpsZ0k/TyXaiuLuXtI/AAAAAAAABFQ/3NLiHkWDk0o/P1010013_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: inline;" title="P1010013" width="321" /></a><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Then painted it with Valspars Exotic Sea</span><br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3Dul5VJLdNk/TyXajJsnMfI/AAAAAAAABFY/oTt9rroonFo/s1600-h/P1010015%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img alt="P1010015" height="287" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dpzaJ5DKReU/TyXajWx7bHI/AAAAAAAABFg/A4-AaN0yhjE/P1010015_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: inline;" title="P1010015" width="382" /></a><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">It was a little bright for my taste so I glazed it with Valspar Antiquing Glaze</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">My daughter loves how it looks in her room that we just painted. I will get a post up about her room redo as soon as it is complete. We are putting the final touches on it.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Bodoni BT; font-size: medium;">Seriously people this is the best stuff!! I have gotten out nail polish, grease from the garage, wine, paint, make up. You name it, it comes out. I pick mine up at Lowes. I used to find it at Walmart but mine doesn’t carry it anymore. Don’t walk people….RUN! (they should give me a free bottle for loving them so much ha! but I’m pretty sure they don’t even know who I am)</span><br />

Send them back and find something else or 2. Add to them. HMMMM  well I can’t sew, but Kristin assures me that I don’t have to sew them, I can iron bond them.  So I head to the fabric store to find some fabric,  knowing that I wouldn’t find the same fabric as my curtains.  The lady at Hobby Lobby helped me find a neutral fabric that would match my curtains.   And it was time to get busy!</font></p> <p><font size="4" face="Andalus">    </font><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-WjFipK4kaN8/Tx-JSI1rKoI/AAAAAAAABCo/6w_1lR735Cs/s1600-h/IMG_0059%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><font size="4" face="Andalus"><img style="background-image: none;

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Unfortunately for my sweet sister 2012 has not started out so good. She broke her leg in two places jumping on the trampoline with her beautiful kids and is having surgery on Tuesday! I feel terrible for her. She is an amazing mom and so active. This is going to be a tough one on her. We are praying for a speedy recovery for her!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">On a better note, BIG things will be happening in our house this year!</span><br />
