My weekend purchase

Background history to my story/weekend:

There is a well known yard sale around my area, that is called the 75 mile yard sale...I thought it was this weekend (guess how pumped I was about it, too pumped)...then I found out it was last weekend. My balloon deflated quickly, and was disappointed that I had missed probably several good deals.

My story:

For a little while I have been wanting a craft table, one to create all my paper projects on, one to create all my cards on, one I didn't have to clear off because I had to set the table. I came up with having a drafting table, so the search began (a quiet search mind you), but didn't ever think I would find one this fast and at a reasonable...ok not reasonable but a bargain, nope still not right. I would have to say the word I might find is a "screaming deal" a good find...lol, okay I think you get the jist :p!
I looked on a site called Kijiji, it is a site that is for every city ( I think that is how it works) and you type in what you are looking for and ads will pop up corresponding to what you are looking for. I have used this site in the past, I must warn you it isan addictive site, and have been pretty satisfied with the things I have gotten from the people. So I typed in "Drafting table" into the search box, and several (2-3 pages) worth of ads popped up...so I started going through the ads. I came across this one ad, about a drafting table being gotten rid of at the "75 mile" yard sale this weekend (lol, this weekend...really was last weekend) and so I sent off a message to the seller. I asked if the table was still available, if it was in good condition and I asked how much they were asking for it... keeping in mind it was probably way out of my price range but one could be hopeful right?? They replied almost right away, telling me that it was still available, that the yard sale was last weekend (there hear it...that noise was my bubble bursting lol) and that they were asking $20.oo for it. I decided that I should go take a look at it, so I called up my parents (who own a truck) to see if they were available and they said they were...so they came with me to check this table out. For that price I was expecting to find a piece of junk...one not worth $20.oo one that was like from the 18th century (lol, not even sure they had them then)! I drove in there this morning to check it out, I was surprised to see what I found!! It was in great shape, it folds up easily (bonus), it does need a good cleaning, it does have 2 chips out of the top of the table but easily fixable I think. Glad to have one of those able to fix pretty much anything kind of dh's :) , who would do anything he could to fix it :)! So I got it, my parents drove it out to our home and it is sitting next to me right now waiting to find that perfect new place to put it...got to do some cleaning of my crafty corner first. I am excited :D, if you couldn't tell from this post !!
Anyways, I am looking at this white table....thinking "my that is one white table, lol...with a bit of dirt and paint on it." I am interested in or thinking about doing something fun to the top of this table...I know I should wait for dh to fix the top first before I do something else to it. I was wanting to either paint something on it...put some really nice paper (like Martha Stewart paper) and put some protective coating on it. I need ideas ladies, or suggestions, I would love some inspiration please...there might be a little itty bitty blog candy involved here too :D!! I would love to have any ideas you might have, and for those wonderful ideas I will give you a chance at winning some yummy little blog candy. How's that for an exchange..win win I think :D! I will leave this open until Tuesday of this week at lunch :D! So post away :D!
