How I made my garden table for 10 dollars.

Once again, I forgot to take step by step pictures of the process. However, this table is so simple. You need a pallet (I had my husband get a small one), and something to make the legs out of. I happened to have four spindles at home already from a project that didnt work out, so I just used those. I was also thinking of using 2x4 or 4x4 leftover wood that my husband had.
If you notice from the picture I attached my legs to the inside of the pallet. This seemed to be the easiest way to attach them, then I took long screws (long enough to fit into the wood of the pallet and hold) and drilled them in. I used 4 screws per leg. I am going to reinforce the legs with a 1x4 piece of wood. It has not been attached yet, you can see it laying on top. Then I spray painted it spring green. It is exactly what I wanted to plant on! Simple and rustic. Easy to use. Make sure you cut your legs to the correct height for you to work according to the pallet size and leg size you use.

When I lose twenty lbs...

When I lose twenty pounds, I am wearing my wedding dress to work. It will be the first time in 5 years that I can do it up again. So, I still have to mull it over with my boss, but I figure it should be in August. What a great 30th bday present. Cant believe that I am turning 30. That is a different subject. I am so excited. We are doing this at work together to get in shape. I am sure we will all be winners, or losers. :)
