. . . ripping off the bandaid . . .

. . . i could never be a nurse . . .

. . . i can't even stand 

the sight 

of bleeding paint . . .

. . . for me ~ 

taking off the tape 

is always nerve wracking . . .

. . . for years, 

i've used 

the tape and caulking 

trick . . .

. . . two problems with it:

1} there was always a little ridge

2} no skin left on my finger 

from smoothing caulk

. . . so this time, 

i used a new technique 

found on {usually} trusty 

pinterest . . .

. . . here it is in a nutshell . . .

. . . please visit

house of hepworths 

for a more detailed tutorial . . .

. . . i give it 

two very enthusiastic 

thumbs up . . .
