Mission Possible Sweet Table

 

I got to make a sweet table for the

Stake Youth Conference

this weekend and had the theme of

"Mission Possible."

 

Friday night was the farewell party with games,

a bouncy castle,

cotton candy and of course desserts.

 

 

Some of the projects that I did were:

 

Made the stained world map on some plywood for a backdrop.

(cost $1.00)

 

 

Made bunting from maps for the front of the table.

 

(man wishing this picture was in focus....sorry we were kind of rushed in setting up)

 

 

.

 

 

 



 

got tons of candy, chocolate, cookies

(which a dear friend made for me and everyone noticed they were homemade)

and brownies to eat.

 

 

Covered a cupckae tower with maps 

and made 120 cupcakes with flags from the 4 missions that we sent the youth on.

(Russia, Chile, Madagascar and Philippines)

 

 

I think the conference was a success and that the youth

 had a great time.

 

(The classes and speakers on Saturday were

 phenomenal and our four RM mission presidents were wonderful.)

 

Hoping that this is just the beginning

 of their preparation

for hastening the work.

What a bright idea!

That's right I had a

"bright idea"

 when I picked the colour for this cute dresser.

 

 

She didn't start out cute though, but was in decent condition and had all of her parts, including the four wooden caster wheels that I fell in love with.

 

 

I took her apart and lightly sanded, taped and primed everything.

 

 

Then I went and painted her "Bright Idea" by Krylon. 

 This did take at least 4 cans

to get a good solid coverage.

 

 

I love how it turned out, so fresh and after many weeks of waiting for the weather to be warm enough to paint outside...she is done.

 

 

Look at those gorgeous wooden wheels.

 

 Really this is what inspired me to buy this piece in the first place. 

 

The family that I bought it from

had no idea how much I wanted it. 

 I tried to play it cool and even talked them

down to $10

 because one of the wheels was loose,

(which I fixed with some glue).

 

 

I painted the wooden handles a bronzed colour

to make them look like metal.

 

 

My daughter is so excited to have this in her room.

 

One of the

 exciting things

 about moving is that I

now have a whole house to decorate.

Yeah!!!
