B & A

Found this topiary (?) thingy at our Jr Church yard sale. There were two of them and I knew they needed to come home with me. I had an idea in mind...which, btw, didn't work out! LOL! So, on to the next plan.

Thought that it was going to be easy getting the Christmas part out of the urn. HA! That thing was in there solid. Once I got down to the bottom, I found this:

...and, it wasn't going anywhere!!!! So, I had my hubby saw it off.

 Got the flowers at Hobby Lobby (duh! I should own stock in that store). 

Now, I have a purdy sitting on my vanity.

 

Around the Yard

In all honestly, you'll find shrubs that need trimmed, weeds that need pulled, limbs to be picked up, and dead flowers in a pot. However, there are a couple of pretty things that have survived my "black" thumb! 

Buffet Redo

Remember this? I think I finally have it the way I like it. The color has grown on me is going to stay because I don't fell like repainting it right now! :)

Yard Sale Treasures

Apparently I lost my noggin' somewhere, but Wes and I ventured out into the heat to do some garage sales. It was sooo hot! Every time I got out at one, I told myself I was crazy! It started off pretty slow and we were just about to give up. I decided to swing by the library and noticed they were having a book sale.

• 7 Computer Games
• 12 Board Books
• 1 Designer Book
• 16 Country Living Magazines
• 45 Inspirational Fiction Books

...later, and I got all of that for 4 buckaroos!

I also found some new projects: Lamp~$2, plate~$0.25, and frame~$0.50.

I got this new blind for my "beachy" bathroom~$1.

However, I think my deal of the day....

Care to guess how much?

3 whoppin' dollars!

Arilynn has already been enjoying it.

I LOVE a good deal!!! 

Who says I need to make a store's mortgage payment to make my little family happy?

DIY Wreath

I have been wanting an old window for awhile, so when I finally found one (in my price range), it looked kinda blah.

How come wreaths are so expensive? All of the ones I liked, or thought they would work, wanted me to take out a loan. 

I don't think so!

So, it was off to Hobby Lobby...

Of course, I liked the more expensive greenery, but whatever! :)

Poke, poke, poke...literally how I put it together. Took about a whole 3 mins!

I got a roll of this string for $0.89 back a few months ago. 

Me likee!!!

 

Microphone or Ice Cream Cone?

Singin' in the Rain

Aunt Debbie got Arilynn some rain boots and then it stopped raining! We had a few showers the other day, so she was able to try them out. There weren't very big puddles, but she managed to find most of them. She wouldn't stand still for a picture and when she did she scowled at me because apparently I was ruining the moment. LOL!
