Pretty in Pink Desk Makeover

The hubby picked it up for me for $29.00 at Walmart.. 
It is just what I needed! 
A simple place  to put my laptop and a place to put some things I use when I am on my laptop
Right now it is a hodge podge of stuff that can be put elsewhere!

I ended up making a list of all the things I need when I am on the computer
Pens ~ Ruler (for etsy) ~ Notebook ~ Hand Sanitizer ~ Note Cards
That is really it!
All the rest is clutter~


I wanted a pink and white and black look and decided to create goodies that make me smile when I am at my desk
Here is the LINK to my notebook from  last week

And now here are two more projects that I created this week

Hand Sanitizer Bottle and


I did not peel off the label ~ I just covered over it like this
 
I put some tacky glue on the bottle and used the polka dot paper to cover it 

 
I added a strip of striped pink paper

 
Then a scallop of pink and a scallop of polka dot and a vintage button
BUT then I decided (before it was dry) that I wanted to add the black

 

So then to make the pen holder I took a pink bucket that I had for a long time 

I glued on a strip of ribbon
 
then some more chalkboard vinyl from the dollar tree
smoothed over the bumpiness

 
I created the same paper flower for the top of the bucket

Still to come... 
Cute sign and bulletin frame... in a VERY unconventional way!

  4. Just saw your comment on my blog. I saw earlier that you are a "Follower" (that's such a weird word) but just saw your comment.

    I think I have 4 Nicholas Sparks left to read too. I just started "The Last Song". I've got to get that one read before the movie comes out in April (I think?). That Canning Tatum is...something else, isn't he?
