thrift store fun!

went to some thrift stores this morning! always fun, i'll try to get some pics posted tue of my goodies. went to the goodwill downtown-always so busy, salvation army, northwest christian, and teen thrift. got some great wood peices to paint on at the goodwill and the cutest salt shaker that just sreamed at me to be turned into a mushroom! so then i was on the lookout for more and found a few more small ones at teen challenge along with some great vintage aluminum cups-just like my gramma used to have!! they were 79cents apeice and he rang me up all four for 1.49!! plus they always let the kids pick out one toy so ayden got this great big tiger that he has been wanting from walgreens, regular price 29.99!! and we got him free! they are a great store, christian based and helping out local teens stay out of trouble by working. missed out on a great loveseat there too and a lady got a gorgeous table, the top was horrible but i know she is going to shabby it up and it would look gorgeous painted black. it had these amazing legs just perfect for some sanding and primming! got a great old cheese holder made from wood, reminded me again of gramma and the old government cheese she used to get. fun day now onto some work around the house so tomorrow i can play!!!

valentine swap

some pics of the items i made for the valentine swap. i hope they like them! the doll is for rabbithollow prims, i hope she loves annies as much as i do! also sent some treats for her boys and some other goodies.

for the other valentine swap amelia is a huge halloween fan so i HAD to incorporate some spookiness in! i made some cute chocolates out of paperclay but when you turn them over their true insides show!! i hope she likes it, i also sent her some extra goodies like candy shaped lipgloss, candy notepad, did i mention she LOVES candy also!! so much fun to do but i was late getting mine out! next time i'll be more organized and hopefully not have a million things get in the way.

one heart one mind

just been checking out blogs for the one heart one mind blog giveaway. amazingly over 900 bloggers have signed up, i don't know if i will even get to all of them. i've already seen so many great people from all over the world! next year i want to sign up so i can have a giveaway, just too new on this and still trying to figure out how to do stuff. went to joann fabrics today, teenage ds babysat the 4yo other ds while dh went fishing. fun to just look at everything, had a nice visit with a gal while looking at pattern books, checked out all the other great books, scrapbook paper, and ohh the fabric-how i love fabric!!! i have so much though i have vowed to not buy anymore until i reduce my stash, unless it's for a specific purpose and i don't have anything that will work. how's that for a good excuse-lol!

blog blogs blogs so many blogs

oh my i have spent hours lately checking and signing up for some amazing giveaways the last few days. one heart one world organized this great blog sharing giveaways with over 900 participants. i have found some great new blogs and i have only checked out about 100 so far. i have a list written down to go and check back, some i just had to follow right away because they are things i love. now hopefully i will win one of these amazing works of art. more boring things now onto clean up the 4yo room! why does the toy they need at the very bottom and every other toy has to come out before? then it's a fight to get them to put them back in!! that's why moms clean so we can toss, donate, hide until they learn if they want it they keep it at least off the floor!
