Mod podge+paint

In the summer (a long time ago...) JGS purchased a wardrobe and 2 chests from a charity shop. This is one of the chests-(the other one is nearly finished) I had great fun with some Mod Podge (the most fun was peeling it off my fingers..).

 I will post photos of the other one when I have finished it. We have to sort out how to take the old knobs off and
put the new (very pretty) ones on. The old knobs seem to have been glued on with the most superest superglue ever..
It is shameful that this post has been sitting in 'drafts' for about 5 months and it was last July when I actually did this !

Remember the list????

The original 40 4 40 list? It can be found here and I have a couple of things that I should have crossed off ages ago......................
Number 40 was 'submit Chartership paperwork'. I am a 'book stamper/sshh-er'by trade and Chartership is a professional qualification. I randomly mentioned it to my manager in my appraisal and it turns out that the suggestion was taken seriously.....That will teach me.
I had a few issues with sorting out a mentor but I took the plunge, changed mentors in November 2012, submitted the document in July 2013 and found I had passed October 2013 - not bad going. So yes, I am now a chartered and uber professional book stamper! I have a certificate and everything....
