Give Thanks.

Well I am all finished my first fall/thanksgiving project of the season. I was looking around Zehrs grocery store and found these blocks



I thought they were pretty cute! Then I saw the price... $9.99!! I thought to myself.."I can definitely make that myself!" And I did! (well I needed some help from Mike, to cut the wood and stuff! :) Thanks babe! Here is the finished project



I am happy with the outcome! I think it looks pretty good! You can also see the giant spoon I got the other day! :)

I also made something else this weekend. I found this picture at the thrift store for $1



I really liked the frame, and how odd of a shape it was. So I spray painted it and made this



I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

Our Walk

Well I had decided the take Ben for a walk, because the rain cleared up. I got my rubber boots on and headed out! (I am really glad I had the boots on!)




Ben! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥














I have also been working on my first fall/Thanksgiving project! I know it's early! ha. It involves wood and paint.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! :)

New Mantle.

Well I was looking through my inspiration book and decided I wanted to change up my fake mantle. Yes, fake. hahahah. This is what it looked like when my friend gave it to me



and look at the wallpaper! haha you should have seen my house. I will have to post before and afters at some point in time. Lots and lots of wallpaper! hahahaha Anyway, I painted it up and lived with it this way for 2 years



And then I decided, it needed to be painted! hahaha so white (of course) was the colour I chose. I am obsessed with everything white at the moment! hahah so here it was all painted



I put all the stuff back and I love it! I really do want to change what is on the mantle, maybe leaning the mirror on it, instead of on the wall...but for now, it looks good to me.



Yesterday was the shopping trip, which wasnt as successful as I thought it would be. I picked up a few little things, but nothing major! Today however, I found this beautiful coatrack for $5!!!



Love it! I have wanted one forever to go by the front door! I was actually going to buy one yesterday for $10 it was metal and lame, and I was going to paint it. I am so glad I didnt get it, because I love this!!!



I also picked up a huge spoon, for the wall in the kitchen, that bow, a few decorating books, some ribbon and a really cool frame I am going to paint! It was a great day, and it was just in my hometown, and not an hour away! I love when that happens!

3 posts today?!

Well I just thought I would let everyone know that I am heading out tomorrow with my sister/bestie....to go on an hour long road trip to THRIFT! I am majorly excited. K is the queen of thrifting, and has been for years! (even when I thought it was lame, and everything was dirty) remember that one K? hahahh Now look at me! I mostly just get stuff for the house, but the last time we went I got a skirt, sweater and flannel shirt! And they were so cheap! (I may never go shopping in a mall again!)

love you sister.




Oh p.s!
Well I was considering spray painting the screen door a darker colour (I think it just sticks out too much) I really wanted one of those really old screen doors but they are too much money (right now anyway) I was asking the lovely lady at Frugal Decorating and she said I should go for it! And of course that is the push I needed! So....Thursday's project? door door door! Thanks Carolyn! :)
