You've Got Mail (DIY Mailbox)

Sometimes I get crazy ideas. 

I decided I hated our mailbox. 

It was just a black mailbox, plain and ordinary. 

I don't have a photo, but you know the type,

plain and ordinary as dirt.

Last summer, I had my husband give the mailbox

 a nice spray of Rustoleum's Slate Blue.  

It was better, but still plain.

I then went on a wild search for mailboxes. 

Pretty cottage style mailboxes.

Trouble is that every time I found one I loved, it was $300.00.  

Believe me, my name and the word "cheapskate" have

never, ever been uttered in the same sentence, but $300.00?

Really? 

I can find alot of other things I would rather spend $300.00 on.

So, I took that ordinary mailbox,

painter's tape & spray paint

and decided to have a little fun.

I know it's not perfect. 

In fact, there are many flaws (please don't go looking for them any
closer, they're obvious enough)

but for now at least,  it has personality!

Wishing you a happy weekend
and lots of good mail days ahead (no bills, all fun mail)!
