DIY weekend

This weekend resulted in a LOT of do-it-yourself projects I hadn't even planning on doing.

They involved a few hours of this:
A lot of this:
An insane, I-never-want-to-touch-sand-again-in-my-life amount of this:
Which resulted in a lot of this:

So bear with me! I'll announce the winner of The Sheet Boutique pillow (contest is now closed) tomorrow, and will share the first of my projects.
For now, this:Will be joining me in bed with this:

And this:

I'll holla at cha tomorrow!!
