Bookcase

I have not forgotten about my coffee table project however, I have been saying that I was going to do something with my mom's old bookcase forever. So I figured I would start (and finish) that project first.
My mom had this bookcase for as long as I can remember. It was such a nice piece. However with time the knobs became dated.

And after being left in her old house with renters and being moved around and well just being old it acquired lots of dents and scratches. So when mom decided to sell the house. I brought it to my house with the idea of fixing it up. But life got in the way and it sat alone in the garage collecting dust :-(

When the movers came they asked if I wanted to take it. As dusty and as banged up as it was I did not want to part with it. I figured a little sanding and paint and it could have a new life.

So last week I went and bought myself a new sander (my old one died a sad death in Indiana-RIP Sandy the Sander) took the adjustable shelves off and started sanding. Right after I took these photos today I removed the doors and sanded them down.

I am hoping by next week to have the whole thing sanded down and the nicks and deep scratches filled in. I'll update then.

Doggy Ice Cream

I love to spoil my pets. I also love saving money. This recipe helps me to do both. Also this is much better for your dogs then the Frosty Paws they sell in the store and it's so easy!

All you need is:32 oz Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt
2 T Peanut Butter
2T Honey
1 Banana (or other dog safe fruit)

Mix together and put into ice cub trays or small plastic cups.

I bought these cute little plastic ones at the dollar store. They were 8 for a dollar. They hold exactly 1/4 cup.

Then pop them into the freezer overnight

And that is it! You can try different types of fruit or just peanut butter and honey depending on your dogs tastes. Tyson loves these and I love that they are good for him.

Love,
Crissy

My New Blog

I decided to start another blog for all my cooking, crafting and projects. Not personal like my other blog http://mykidshavepaws.blogspot.com/ I will still post there too just now it will be sticky life stuff. Miss Mumaugh came up with the name of this blog. I liked Crumb's because it's a little bit of this and that.

Love,
