Painting the town... gray?

DIY Project: Coasters

Welcome back Nesters! Today, I'm excited to bring you one of my new favorite projects. It's a step by step how-to make your own coasters! I got my directions from the bridal DIY website Style Me Pretty.  {No, I don't have a new addition to my left ring finger that I'm not telling you. I just happen to be seeking new projects and they've got an abundance of really great ideas.} With a few tiles, cork and some scrapbooking paper you've got yourself some brand spankin' new beverage receptacles!

Hi Nesters!  I am excited to report that after some crazy-busy weekends as of late, I had this afternoon to do some work and finish up one of my projects! Remember, once upon a time I had showed you guys my office space?  Well, after closer look, I realized I was unhappy with my desk.
