Announcement!

 Apr 9, 2011

Small Announcement! 

Thanks to the unanimous votes of a few of my facebook friends (and yes, I'm counting the "like" button as a thumbs-up vote) I'm going to start a new feature here on this ol' blog!

I think it would be great fun, every once in a while, to see some of the projects that DON'T turn out "better after." The hilarious flops. We all have a few, right? Projects that start with good intentions and end with tears, lighter fluid or people asking where on earth you found vomit colored paint and what possessed you to USE it?

Are you excited? I am! If you have ever brought about a furniture fiasco, a crafting catastrophe, or any sort of spectacular design disaster, send your pics and your story my way! BetterAfter@live.com, subject line:

Lynda April 9, 2011 at 11:17 AM  

This will be good - - but so frustrating to the ones who spent the time and money doing a 're-do'. Looking forward to it.

Great Idea! You're an equal opportunity blog!

Shala April 9, 2011 at 11:55 AM  

I am so excited. This will bring tiny bit of validity to the projects that just didn't come to full fruition. Did I mention I'm EXCITED!!!!

Amie April 9, 2011 at 1:04 PM

Terrific idea! Apart from having a good chuckle, readers might be able to offer suggestions on how to rectify the disaster! Good one :)

Patsy April 10, 2011 at 7:21 AM  

I think that sounds like so much fun. I can't wait!

Margaret April 10, 2011 at 8:00 AM  

NOW you tell me. I could have provided photos for an entire year. The latest: modge podge foil to look like mercury, or aluminum...it looked like foil with globs of paint and glue.

This should be fun, you are awesome!

Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle April 10, 2011 at 8:06 AM  

I love that idea. First, it makes me feel like less of a failure when my projects don't turn out. hehe. Second, I like to know what doesn't work so I don't waste time and money on a project that will undoubtedly flop.

Camilla Jones (CioCo Photography) April 10, 2011 at 2:11 PM  

oh gosh i'm so excited. like cake wrecks. I might have even peed my pants. a little.

frances April 10, 2011 at 4:12 PM  

Thats funny I have to admit that I thought sometimes you did that already...the afters can be very interesting...to me anyway..sounds like it would be fun. FRances

Dorie April 11, 2011 at 9:45 AM

Kat from California April 11, 2011 at 11:51 AM  

This is more my style... I can't wait to see what people put in...then I won't feel alone. lol

Joleen April 15, 2011 at 6:34 AM  

SO glad you counted the fb 'likes' as votes. I didn't think to comment....

Anne-Marie @ 10 Rooms April 16, 2011 at 5:31 PM
