I wanted to end 2011 with a good laugh!
Last March I posted about a gun rack I transformed into a plate rack
I LIKED the way it turned out
Now, wait for it......You'll get a "Bang" out of this!
First I have to tell you, I had tons of Google hits on this post and I think it was the Boys wearing camouflage looking for a gun rack and one of them did not like what I did with a gun rack!
The comment came in as Anonymous....Surprise. I didn't publish it, but I did save it just for you!
Here it is just as I received it bad spelling and all!!
Of all the things to do with a gun rack... Why would you
turn it into little miss muffets` half assed attempt at
decorariting an old ladies senior home! Forget the plates
and load it with depends, cause the only person with taste
that bad is going to need them!
Are you snorting with laughter?
Now, I subscribe to the saying "If you don't have anything
nice to say...Don't say anything at all"
But, I got the last laugh, I sold the plate rack to a
20 something hip girl
20 something hip girl
....And from what I could tell she was not wearing DEPENDS
AND SHE CERTAINLY DID NOT LIVE IN AN
Old Ladies Senior Home
Old Ladies Senior Home
Ok, so I had one bad comment, but I want to thank you for
4721 Kind, sincere, and inspiring comments I received in
2011
Happy New Years
And
Happy Creating!

This is priceless Carol! I'm so glad you saved it so we could all get the "last laugh." I love all of your projects including this very clever transformation!
I Love that you shared this Carol, it is worth the last laugh! It was a cool idea to say the least!
I would have wrestled that hip 20 something girl for that piece! I love it, a great do over. Have a wonderful New Years, Laura
I could not imagine HOW you could have gotten even ONE mean comment...but now it is so clear! How funny! I'm off to tell hubby to come look at my computer! We could use a laugh today...especially since we ARE senior citizens! lol I'm going to have to give this a 'think' and see if I can remember any mean comments in my inbox...anonymous, of course! ♥♥♥
Oh so FUNNY!!!! I love the way the Gun Rack came out..I don' think I will ever look at one the same again.. :) And to think some 20yr old hip girl bought it... Maybe it was Mr. Anonymouses Daughter.. Wouldn't that be a HOOT!!! well it looks like you went out with a "BANG" and I look forward to seeing what Creative things you have in store for us in this coming year!!!
Happy New Year!!
*giggle*
LOL!
LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it's fantastic and there is one lucky 20somethin' out there NOT wearing depends!!!
I'm rolling...
I hope you have the MERRIEST of New Years full of giggles and belly laughs.
xoxo
robelyn
Thanks for the laugh!
I love the gunrack...oops...platerack. I am sure it looks a lot nicer hanging on the wall that it did filled with ugly guns! (And I am not an old lady living in a senior home wearing Depends either) :)
Your gun rack transformation is just awesome, my husbands agrees to. The poor comment came from someone that has not class, and most of all taste and imagination, how sad, Hugs Mary
Wow of wow....your right.... nasty words, but it was pretty funny! I think the gun/plate rack turned out beautifully, like most of the things you do! Happy New Year my friend, Diane
hello and happy new year,you have a wonderful blog :)
i`m from finland :)
Carol, I am laughing till my sides ache. How nasty can one person be. I've been lucky so far I guess. The meanest comment I received was that I had put the napkins on the wrong side on my tablescape (which I did, senior moment I think). They did end the comment with, "pretty tablescape though'. Really I do know how to set a table. Don't ask me where my mind was last Thanksgiving morning. By the way, love the (gun) plate rack! Wishing you a New year full of only nice posts.
Oh, Carol, I'm laughing so hard I think I might have had an accident in my Depends!!
I think that person is obviously Very Ignorant! You creativity and originality continue to inspire me as well as Tons of others!!! So happy you sold this to someone with impeccable taste, Happy New year to you Carol! Can't wait for the next post ;)
Carol, help I need the Depends I am laughing so hard!!!! What a great to end the year. So funny! Keep the inspiration coming, I love all of your projects. Happy New Year to you.
hahahahahah how funny..
Some people have no appreciation for pretty things, good on you for seeing the funny side....
I love your projects they are sooooo inspiring

Oh dear, well you definitely won that one, since it found a home with a young gal. How cool that you counted your positive comments to thank us. I think I will count my blog's comments, that is a great idea.
Snort...ya truly need a sense of humor to blog!
Amazing how many ill bred people hide behind "Anonymous"! A gorgeous transformation, a lucky purchase for the young lady and pity for the ignorant jerk who has nothing better to do than try to bring negativity to this community! Absolutely hilarious!!
Hilarious!
Poor Mr. Anonymous--destined to end his days sitting in unchanged Depends at the rattiest care center in his area. And all because of one unkind comment in his younger days. Karma's a beeyotch.
At least we got a good laugh out of it!
Carol
That was the best laugh I've had in a long time!!
Thanks so much for sharing it.
Oh great! Now I gotta go find myself a Depends product cause I think I just peed my pants from laughing so hard!!! Seriously, I think it turned out awesome and I'm glad you sold it for profit!!
Carol,
That is a riot!
Clearly by the comment itself, you can tell the mentality of the person who wrote it!
What a hoot!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Carol,
I'm gonna need depends now after reading that! I am still cracking up! Not only his comment, but everything you had to say...priceless! This is just too hysterical!
Thanks for the best laugh I've had a in a long time!
Nancy
Ha-ha-ha! awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I saw a blog the other day that was JUST for bad comments a few girls recieved and then the girls would reply and all the "good" commenters would, too. I thought it was a great way to deal with the web haters! ♥
Carol,
This is hilarious. You have such a sense of humour and it really shines through in some of your posts. It is worth having a good laugh at the ridiculous comment. Another excellent transformation project. I think we all should transform a gun rack (with the key word as gun rack) and really annoy Mr Anonymous if he is looking again.
Happy New Year
Kelly
That was hilarious! Thanks for sharing!
Can't wait to see what you're going to do in the New Year!
Carol thanks for the laugh! What a comment to leave!
I love the plate rack !
I am so sorry they don't care for your "decorariting". What goofballs!
beautiful!!!
I usually don't say things like this on comment boards, but HOLY CRAP!!!! That is hilarious Carol! You definitely have the last laugh on that guy! So funny! (*_*)
Too funny! Maybe he should get a look at the 'old ladies' of today. We sure as heck aren't like his Nana. Or yours. Or mine.....this will keep me smiling all evening.
LOL!!!
Happy New Year!!!
I think the gun/plate rack turned out lovely!
Guess it "depends" on who is buying it!!! LOL!!
Warmly,
deb
Carol - that was a real good one worth the laughs, indeed!!! {LOL!}
You did such an amazing job! I would never had even known that it originally was even an ugly, old gun rack.
Happy New Year my friend! xo
-pamela :)
Mercy...maybe they should have learned first of all about spell check! how dumb...but 1 out of the many...I say you are doing just fine!!
That's a great story and I did get a good laugh!! You did an awesome job on that transformation and I think it's a much better plate rack than a gun rack!
Happy New Year!!
Jane
Haha...couldn't wait since your last post to read the mean comment and no surprise from anonymous. I love your "gun cabinet" so much better after. Happy New Year!!!
Priceless! I remember your original post about the gun rack. You've had me looking at them in a totally different way. Just hilarious!
You go girl! What a rude jerk "Anonymous" is! I love the idea of changing a gun rack into a plate rack - why not make something lovely if you have the talent! I love your blog (and your sense of humor)!
Thanks for your nice comment on Camp and Cottage Living re: the prayer shrine I made for Kimberly!
Come by and visit me at Home in Douglas!

Hello Carol,
Some people just can't say something nice can they?
Love the plate rack you made so much better than the gun rack.
Hope "Anonymous" visits your blog again to see all these comments!!!
Many wishes for your New Year. Need to visit your shop again soon
Suzann ~xoxo~
That is hilarious!!!!
Oh my goodness, that is too funny! I guess you really riled him up! lol
Wishing you the happiest of New Years, Carol!
Carol you certainly do know how to give us a good laugh to end 2011. Your transformations of ugly discarded items into beautiful desirable treasures is always magical. Champagne Hugs...
Awesome! That was a hoot!
Thanks for the laugh...a great way to end my day.
Some people just can't see beauty even when it's right in front of them. He was expecting a green camouflage, ugly MAN thing. Soooo hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. Happy New Year.
Ginger
That was kind of mean. Glad you can laugh at it!!I agree it was probably a man that wrote it. I think the gun/plate rack is awesome!! I love everything you do and thank you for sharing how you do them..hugs, Bev
What a cute way to end the year! Cheers!
What a hoot!
What a hoot!
Oh my gosh, so funny. I actually almost spit out my sip of coffee when I read about the Depends. Well, I love the gun rack, er pardon me - plate rack. I am going to be your newest follower. I think that guy who left the comment pretty well showed his level of intelligence and his personality in his comment - so consider the source. That being said, men will be men and women will be women, and thank God for our differences. I guess I would be a little concerned if this man had written gushing over how lovely the gun rack turned out. Have a wonderful new year. I am looking forward to more of your posts. Please come visit me at my blog if you ever get a spare minute between projects!
Julie
the plate rack is gorgeous. and if it weren't for Detrol I'd be wearing diapers.
Bwhahahaha.....i think you're on to something. all bloggers should post their random hateful comments for the rest of us to enjoy!! what a hoot. keep up the good work. may your new year be cheery and bright.
Haha!!! Thanks for the laugh! The comment in and of it's self is funny but the fact that you sold it to a young and hip woman makes the whole thing, (the project and sarcastic comment) even sweeter!
Oh my we both had a chuckle over that this morning but hey he may have an idea take it to the senior center homes and they may have you install one in each room just for that purpose then post you turned a millionaire off of his post!! Lol thank you for the chuckle
such a great post! wishing you a wonderful new year, carol and that rack is darling:)
Ha ha! What a good one. I would LOVE to get a load of who wrote that ditty. thanks for the laugh and thanks also for all the great posts all year!
I am shaking my head at the ignorance and bad manners that poster has. But then you can tell by the grammar they probably didn't get past sixth grade....I feel sorry for them and the people that have to be around them. BUT I am overjoyed for us old depend-able ladies with the awful taste because we looooove everything you create. (())
I loved the gunrack turned depends holder! I mean plate rack! How funny~sure it was a guy who never should be in a relationship. Good for you for putting the correct spin on this one!
I love that. Obviously the only taste that person had was in their mouth. What prompts people to say anything if they don't like it? That person should have just had a laugh to themselves if that was how they felt.
I love your blog. Thanks for a wonderful year!
Blessings,
Shelley
I laughed so hard tears came to my eyes. Thanks for sharing : )
Thanks for the laugh! I choose to think this was purchased by Anonymous'
wife. Wouldn't that be payback. Happy New Year.
How funny, Carol!! I feel sad for him that he didn't have your decorating sense! I love what you did with the rack!!
Blessings to you!!
Love it!!! So glad you saved it to share with us! I'm coming to visit you on January 7th if your shop is open then. My friend and I are going to visit her daughter who goes to UCF. Can't wait to see your shop! I hear it's a really cute area. Cannot wait!!!
"he who laughs last laughs best"...
I loved the gun rack! Thanks for sharing!
How funny! Thanks for the laugh. The rack is beautiful!
Thanks for the laugh! I am glad you posted it.
Oh my gosh Carol!!! They don't get it at all!
Too funny!
hilarious Carol! that is so funny! he must not have had anything better to do than take the time to post that on your blog...hehe! I LOVE the way it turned out!!happy happy new year!!
Carol,
I'm up late tonight painting (taking a short break) and oh I needed a good ole laugh...thanks! Some people are just down right RUDE!!! Happy New Year my friend!!!
Blessings,
Linda
That is awesome!!!! Ha ha ha! I love what you did with it too! Thanks for your comment on my sign. You crack me up. I'm so ready for regularly scheduled programming too :)
Oh goooooood grief. I'm glad you left it spelling and all.
Depending on the hormones, I would have either laughed or cried. But even if I cried, at some point, I would still have laughed.
I take it there is no IQ test for a gun license?
Just sayin'...
Happy New Year, Carol. Thanks for making the last one so fun of creative energy.
No doubt left by a man,lol, probably terrified his wife will turn his gun rack into something beautiful!
Had left a message but it disappeard... this would very 'in' here in England and look perfect in a 17th to 18th cottage in a pretty little English village!
Hope you add it to our linky party just started!
What are depends? I'm from old blighty ...
Happy New Year!
Lesley
Oh....Carol! You are such a good sport! This is hilarious!! I think this ole feller has earned hisself a seat in the Redneck Hall of Fame!! As for me, I think you are a wonderfully creative and gifted "decoraritor"!
Blessings and friendship!
Carolynn
LOL, they couldn't even spell either! *giggling*
"decorariting"......really? Must be a new word I don't know. *shrug*
You are such a good sport!!
So glad to have connected with you through our Blogs!
Love,
LuLu~*xoxo
Oh I am dying here!! There just are no words . . . not even ones that are spelled incorrectly! LOL
LOL! There are some meanies out there! Tough luck for them! Ha Ha! You are so cool!
Hahaha! Thanks for sharing. I hadn't had much to laugh about lately but this made my day!

Oh Carol!!!!
I am just catching up on end of year blog posts and this is my all time favorite.
Funniest thing I've read in forever!
What a cranky person but very funny!
xo
Roselle
Okay, that was a really terrible thing to say, but I couldn't help laughing. Someone really had *their* depends in a bunch!!
Hello Carol, I found you through the Graphics Fairy--I LOVE your blog, and have spent quite awhile now reading your posts and looking at your tutorials. You are amazingly talented! I look forward to visiting again soon--I am now a follower! Oh, and this post was hilarious! Thanks for a good laugh . . . we can all use that at the end of the day!
Oh geez....ha ha made me laugh! His house is prob decorated with bud light mirrors and camo..

Well, hum, I have had the nick name of Muff for 65 years as of today. This Miss Muffet would love to have it in my home.
Muff Cooper
Well I think it was beautiful and wish I had seen it when you had it for sale! I love your blog and keep up the great job!
Carol!
oH! MY GoodNESS!
That was hilarious... I remember seeing that gun rack. I personally loved it. I'm currently looking for a stand up gun rack to transform into a full length PANTRY FOR MY KITCHEN...complete with chicken wire and maybe some burlap... Oh yes, a girl has got to have a cute place to store her cast iron skillets and her canned beans!
THIS DID MAKE ME LAUGH... so funny.
Imagine...googling Gun Rack and you get this cute little transformed beauty... adorable.
...
Hey Anonymous--
thanks for the chuckle.
Pat
OMG that is so funny Carol! That's one bizarre comment.
I love your gun rack turned into a plate rack. The tin and rose are extra special.
Got to wonder what a gun-rack loving guy?gal? would be doing poking around in polka dot closet anyway?
I admire your discretion in not showing this rude comment in the first place. And also admire that you can give it the importance it deserves…..none…..
You surely know how to turn a sow's ear into a silken shelf…… well done.
Too funny!
