At first I thought it was a bandanna "podged" onto the top of an irreparable table. You've done a sweet job on this table with the brilliance of the red and white. Total Canada-Day table now!

LOL That certainly wasn't my intention but now that you pointed it out, it definitely looks "Canadian"!

No way! What an amazing transformation, and your stencil is a keeper. :)
