Pinterest Project: bam. like a boss.

I saw this project on Pinterest and was pretty stoked to try it :) Not too shabby!


Step one: find a painting you don't necessarily adore. I got this one from my brother when he moved out of his apartment.

Step 2: choose the quote you want and cut out the appropriate letters


Step 3: stick the letters directly on the painting


Step 4: prep for painting. I chose to spray paint, so I was out on the back porch.


Step 5: apply the paint over the entire painting.. it took me about one and a half cans of white spray paint


Step 6: when the paint is dry, remove the letters and TA DA! 


Step 7: put your finished product wherever your little heart desires.
Yes, all you OCD'ers ... i realize there are crooked and uneven letters ;) 


Step 8: enjoy the scenery while you work!!! :)

Aah that is so cool! All hail Pinterest! And nice one on choosing a Mumford and Sons lyric. Respect!

PS: I saw the painting and I was like "I know that painting! I've seen it before!"

Finally caught you! You just might not remember me but we met last year during your trip to South Africa at the kids concert in Johannesburg, Civic theatre - im the random guy who asked for the Lambano contacts while running around with the camera.

Tonight playing on the net then ultimately landed on the Lambano site and just as I continue reading their blog I was so struck by the needs of the sanctuary but on the other hand how much God's provisions have blessed the place and the kids so much. There is so much of me that just wants to be at Lambano but one thing the Lord has kinda sealed that idea off with is that its not the time yet! Those kids and the sanctuary left a lil' dent on my heart dont know how to explain it but ye, its kinda creepy coz this has hardly happend...as in ever! I cannot even imagine the heart one requires to work there for years! A part of me wishes to believe that I can understand the emotions and importantly spiritual maturity thats required to be working with the kids there but im so rebuked - I haven't experienced it and there is no way I could even dare to paint that image. (sorry if that sounds all gibberish)

Please share some of your thoughts on how it had been for you working there and for how long. Would really like to know. You can mail me at bmadida@gmail.com

[I've started this post about three times now, and I realize it's nothing new, but it's been on my mind for a while now. Sorry in advance for how disconnected it seems. You can bear with me or bail out now. The choice is up to you ;) ] It was just yesterday that I was sitting criss cross applesauce in the middle of my living room floor, multitasking. Some like to call it ADD. I prefer "multitasking." Music, social networking, reading a book, something on the TV, ticket shopping... all these distractions from what my mind was mulling over and over. A friend and I were walking the other night, just like old times, after the town had gone to sleep, when the stars were bright and the moon was full. The trees were dripping and the sidewalk was sloppy... it was such a reminiscent time of the past four-ish years of our lives that we have spent in this town. I know that when I think of summer nights, I'm going to think of this time of life. When it's war...

You know how life is not always what you were expecting or planned? Yeah... my life precisely. Hence the phrase, "Life is an adventure." Because, well, it is. You see, I've been skiing for 10+ years and this year was no exception! I had the opportunity to go on an awesome sauce weekend with some work friends to Telluride : friends, fresh powder, skiing, too many slopes to choose from, Colorado goodness - how is this a bad plan ???  Well it wasn't.... until the unexpected happened and I found myself relaxing on the side of the mountain waiting for my Ski Patrol buddies to come rescue me from my broken bone dilemma. The moral of the story is: never assume that it won't happen to you. Also, make sure that you have awesome friends to take care of you when you are on drugs.  (P.S. hospital gowns totally live up to their reputation: hawt.) life is looking a lot like this these days:    I've been living in my sweats and spending a lot of qualit...
