* ThRiFt StOrE FiNdS *

Thrift Store Finds, yet again I went into my little home town store and found these little treasures, not a lot, but some things to craft with and useful items and the best part...$2.14!

Love these small spools, they look like wooden bobbins, not sure what they are...they are just cute to me.

Maybe I'll make some dolls with these spools.

I also have the curly hair to make the dolls!

Love the basket with the handles, it's a different shape.. great for an Easter basket.

Cute frames with glass, not plastic, I need to clean these up a bit.

Velour Butterfly, Shower curtain hooks and the gems make think of Easter!

Speaking of Easter, I need to get in on some swaps.  I had so much fun with the Valentine Swaps. If anyone knows of any, please let me know!  Have a great day!

Secret Swap Valentine

 A box full of wonderful surprises!!

 Look at all of the fairy sweeties!!

 I haven't used stamps and I was just thinking of getting some the other day.  This is a beautiful stamp to start my collection.  I love the detail Deb has done on the heart box, and it's my favorite color.  The Nut Goodie in made in MN...and it was delicious!

Blogging Before Work

Just wanted to share with you guys this card I made.

It's pretty simple, but I love the verse, it is one of my favorites.

I think I will give this to my parents for Valentines Day.

Gotta get ready for work.  Wishing everyone a great day :)

# Duct Tape Wallet #

My 14- year old son's Duct Tape Wallet that he made.

He watched how to make this on YouTube, he never does anything crafty.

I think it turned  out great for his first project.

Wishing everyone a Happy Week-end!

* Thrift Store Vintage Tablecloths *

I went into my small, local thrift store today and I found these tablecloths for $1.00 each, and when I checked out they were having a half price sell, only 50 cents each.  What a great deal, or would that be a steal?

 Red Roses is my favorite one.

 I'm not real sure if this is vintage, but I like the color and 

the lace details on the napkins.

 Love the butterflies.

This one is bright and cheerful!

Have a great day!!

I've made the deadline!!

Yay!! I've made the deadline for my Valentines Swaps.  This is only my second swap I have participated in.  It has been so much fun and I'm hoping everyone enjoys the goodies that I'm sending out.  Here are a few of the goodies I'm sending to my partners, but shhhh...it's a secret!

 Package #1

Package #2

I made the love banner so that she could use is for more than just
Valentine's Day and she likes blue.

*I've finally FINISHED something.*

I have all of these ideas floating around in my head and decided to sit down and get busy.  It took me long enough and I am sure I have forgotten some of the ideas I wanted to do in the first place.  Oh well, maybe I need to keep a little note pad.  

Congratulations to my handsome son.

I am a proud mama today.  My son is FCMS Most Handsome 2012! Maybe I should not brag, but I am!

# Thirft Store Finds #

Look at that Bling...

 

all of that Cream...

 all of that Pink...

and look at that Heart!!

I had to go to Wal Mart for work today, stopped in at a large thrift store and did not see much.  Disappointment set in.  After work, stopped by my faithful, tiny thrift store (in town where I live) and look at all of the goodies I found!!  Very Happy!
