Sundays are my Rest and Relaxation days and I always ask myself what would give me joy today?  Sunday I thought.... I would like to paint a small project to get me back in the swing of painting/crafting again.  So, I chose this small "GROW"  sign that I have had for about 40 years.  It used to have test tubes that fit in it for putting flowers or cuttings.  I need to get some after I'm done redoing it. 

Well, I got out a can of turquoise spray paint and gently and lightly sprayed one side.  It said it dried in 30-40 minutes so I went out to turn it over and spray the other side.   It felt dry and I turned it over and sprayed the other side but when I came outside to get it....I got this..............

So, I made sure it was dry and went to scrubbing off the paper but then I got this.............

 The paper was gone but the printing remained......so, I took it out to my garage as doing it outside didn't work.  I thought maybe the sun or dampness from the ground had something to do with it?  So, I laid paper down and even put a sturdy plastic bag underneath just in case it might stick again and then I got this................

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Why do my craft projects always crash and burn...almost literally!?!?!?  This was in the garage, there was no wind outside much less in the garage!  Needless to say I was getting upset....my day of "joyful" activities was not off to a good start!The last time I tried "crafting" was Easter.  Everyone was out there in blog land making these cute decoupaged eggs and it looked so cute and easy.  So, I got my plastic eggs out and tore scrapbooking paper and got Mod Podge and went to town......if I didn't have the biggest mess on my hands!  I didn't post about it because my hands were so covered with Mod Podge and paper I couldn't take pictures.  Plus, it was so disappointing I really didn't want to immortalize it on my blog.  So, then I thought it was maybe too humid outside so I brought it into the house to thoroughly dry...again it felt dry.  I put it on the counter and then this happened.........

and this on my kitchen counter.........

 I'm not one to give up on things but I will walk away from them....sometimes just for awhile to cool off and sometimes forever (this can include people too).   If anyone has any helpful hints or tips as to why everyone with half a brain seems to be able to spray paint except for MOI......please let me know!  And I did it just like the directions said! I hope your Sunday was more "joy-filled" than mine and that your Tuesday is even better!   Maybe I'll have something prettier to show you tomorrow.
