DECOUPAGE TELEPHONE

The other day while in the midst of one of my many strange moods.
I sat at my desk trying to figure out what to do for my phone.  If you look
closely it has some blemishes and rough places and I just wanted it to look clean.
btw:  I got this phone at a yard sale for $3.00 after searching for one like it for months.

Then I see my Decoupage Finish sitting on a shelf and think to myself
"YES...that's what I can do to it."
So...I go to my stash of papers and find one I think I like and start
tearing paper and slappin glue then sticking it to my phone.
*crazy? not sure yet*

So then I had to finish around the dial with something and *giggles*
thought this white rope would be great!
Yes I did it!  Braided the rope and then glued it around the dial.
Then decided the reciever didn't look right so started in on that too.

Painted Decoupage all over the outside...2 layers.
I kept looking at it thinking *what did I do*
Sometimes even I wonder what is going on in this mind of mine!
Go ahead....it's ok to laugh. *giggles again*

So I decide to leave it alone for the night and see if I can adjust.
The next morning I walk into my office and it's the first thing that catches
my eye. *giggles again*  I shake my head and think maybe it'll grow on me.
UH...YEAH...No it's not working for me, in fact
it's pretty much a eye sore and all I do all day is look at the ugly thing.*haha*


 Everyone who see's it has a different reaction to it. 
 Daughter said she loves it,
Mom just looked and said *OH OK*  *bunches of giggles*
All I can say is *I GOT A WILD HAIR AND TRIED IT*
Give a girl a break!!
