Every once in awhile I’ll get the itch to create something. To let my creative juices flow; to turn something ho-hum into something funky; to really let my hair down and go wild and crazy and make up for being such a goody-goody in high school. 

I totally know how to let loose. 

My most recent project was this beverage bucket. I got it as a wedding gift, and loved the raw look of the galvanized metal. However, I finally decided that it needed some color and a little livening up.

Remember the last time I did this? When I painted the trash can? I used the same kind of paint and basic technique as I did for that project, however, I think I enjoyed painting this beverage bucket a lot more than the trash can, simply because of the time factor.

See, my patience tank is typically on “E”, and when it comes to a project such as this I want to start it and be done in approximately three minutes or less. As a result, it took me a total of four weeks to finish this project because I could only concentrate for a few minutes at a time before I got bored and wanted to give up and check my Google Reader for the eight-hundredth time that day. But the good news is that if you are a normal person and don’t possess All The Crazy like I do, it should only take you a couple of hours to complete. Which, really, is much more manageable than four weeks. I really need to learn.
