Finds for ME!

I have a mental list of things I want to blog about, but JBF and a big birthday party have been taking up oh so much of the little spare time I have. But now they are done and I can breathe a little and blog a little.

Last Saturday, I went with a couple of girlfriends garage sale-ing. We had such a good time. We found a lady selling boutique clothes in our sizes. We all got our share of cute new clothes. Here's what I got. . .

The dress on the left was $5. I don't think I ever have spent that much on clothes at a garage sale. The lady started to explain why she was charging so much, but I didn't care. I totally thought it was worth it. The one on the right was only $0.50. Excuse my modeling.

I paid $3 for these shoes. I really don't think they had ever been worn. I had wanted some wedges, but didn't want to pay $20 plus, so I was totally excited when I found these. And they match my new dress and shirt!

Easter dress? I just might. We have a wedding coming up, too. This one still had the original tag.

Check it out!

I also got this necklace for $0.50. I saw it and grabbed it right away. I've been following this blog because I've realized that being a stay-at-home-schooling-mom, I've really lost touch with the style. I haven't made any big purchases, but just been trying to figure out what I like/dislike. When I saw her with this necklace, I was on the hunt for a red beaded necklace of my own. SCORE!!

The dress and shirt I paid $1.50 for. They didn't fit. I put them in the JBF, hoping to sell them. There was another skirt that I bought and when I washed it, all these grease-like stains showed up on it. Who knows? I threw it away. $0.50. Oh well.

Courtney wanted me to make sure to put a picture up of my new haircut.  

Didn't she do a good job? FREE! Thanks, sis!

 I made this "art" for a friend having her second boy. I saw it on her pinterest wall and decided that I could do that. First, I made it in photoshop to figure out how I wanted it layed out. Then I free-handed it. The scrabble letters, I had from a garage sale from last summer. I think it turned out cute. In fact, I was trying to figure out how I could do it with my boys names. I was so tired the night I worked on it, my eyes were crossing. I think I would have done a better job otherwise, but . . .

She loved it!! 

Since I already had the paint and scrabble letters, all I had to buy was the canvas.
