Let's Play a Game!

It's a guessing game of sorts. I thought it would fun! You see, the other day I ran into the thrift store and found some really cute things! Problem is...I'm not sure what some of them are! LOL

So here's the first picture. I think it's a DVD holder, but some of the slats are not tall enough for DVD's.
?????? Your guess is as good as mine. ???????????

I think it's pretty cute...and it's unique don'ta think?

Okay, here's another cute find:

I thought this would work sitting on top of my new found lazy susan w/ scrapping supplies. But what is it really?LOL

Now...I know this is a mug rack...

But I was thinking of painting it and make it a "Bling Rack"!

And last, but not least. I found a really great desk for my daughter's room. It's solid maple, and for $45, I thought it was a steal! She wants to paint it black and add glass hardware.

I'll be back with "after" photos of this soon.

So..I have no idea what the top 2 photos are...but I had lots of fun thrifting!

Have a wonderful Friday!!!!

#1 Dad-Gift Idea

Hi there! I meant to share this earlier in the week, but I have been quite the slacker! All apologies aside I'd like to share this quick Father's Day gift idea with you. You could make it larger and make it a gift basket adding your dad's favorites.

I found this case of Root Beers at World Market. I added some peanuts and Slim Jim's. The tag image was a freebie by Meljen's Designs.

Have a great Saturday!!!!

Vacation Week!

HI guys! I just realized it's been almost a week since my last post, but my hubby decided to take the week off to celebrate our 24th wedding annivesary. So we took an impromptu trip to the beach. It's been so super HOT in south Texas, but it was nice to get away!!

So, what have I been working on??? Not much. I have been getting some goodies together for my 100 Followers Giveway! Hoping to post that next week!

For now..I'll share some pictures from our trip.

Have a wonderful day!!!

From boring to fabulous!

I bought some boring flip flops the other day at WalMart, but I had plans for those babies!! I was gonna make them fabulous!!!

                                                              Super boring flipflops!

I had some Rosette Ribbon and I pulled out some velcro, but I'll use that for another project later.

I also found these hairclips in my stash. Got these at the $1 store!

Using some scissors and hot glue gun, this is what I did with my findings!

Flip Flops and 2 Matching Hair Clips for about $5!!!

Super easy project and a great way to dress up some "boring" flipflops!LOL

Have a wonderful Friday!

Please check back tomorrow for a fun idea I made using Rootbeer!
