I often find it a real challenge to go that extra step, and when it mucks up I think I must have a screw loose. I think on a little tray it would have been filed in the go away can, but yours certainly looks worth the extra effort.

I have a wooden tray that I got at a thrift store and have been meaning to give a make-over. I am inspired to get some chalk paint and give it a go.
