Great finds for me!

I just can't stay away from looking for stuff..I don't need anymore projects and I really shouldn't spend the cash..but when I find something that I love and it is cheap..it becomes mine! While running errands today, I spotted what I thought was a garage sale. this turned out to be someone moving and had to be out soon and they had all this stuff they needed to get rid of quick. Lucky me!
A jolly guy with a wife beater tee-shirt and a two day beard greeting me smiling and said..its cheap it you want it. I noticed this cool humidor in awesome condition and asked him how much..he replied "how about a dollar"! Oh yea I thought and told him that is was now mine.I think I will put a plant on the top where the little place for ashtray is meant to be. Isn't it darling!



I also picked up some other small things (Union Pacific Railroad calendars 1970-1978 these were free and a couple vases. He asked me to come in and look at this hutch he wanted to sell. It was sooo sooo beautiful, but I just didn't have the cash or anywhere to put it. It was gigantic! I was walking out when I spotted this cute little "ladies Desk" and commented how cute it was. He told me it was mine for 5 buckaroos! I gasped and said..its mine. I am so happy with my purchases today!! I really don't know about the desk..it is so beautiful and only needs a drawer handle that I think I will just polish it up?

Been treasure hunting again

Finding that being unemployed is a good time to feed one of my passions...I call it junkin. Fall weather and flea markets..it doesn't get much better than that. I have been lucky with my finds and found some awesome things.I have at least 3 projects going on all the time.It is therapeutic for me to play like this. It isn't paying the bills though and I am still praying that I find a job soon.
I did finish this window frame project today. I changed things in my kitchen and have a rather eclectic group of roosters living there now so I decided to take the glass out of this frame, paint and distress it and attach the chicken wire to make a bulletin board for the kitchen. I am diggin it and it fits right in with my rooster theme!\

Chilly Fall Weather!

SInce I am unemployed....I am not sleeping well and find myself fretting and worrying all nite long...i woke up early early this morning, let the dogs out and it was cold!! But it felt really good. I sat on the steps thinking about how much I love fall and decided to get out some fall decorations today. Maybe that will lift my spirits some!

Been over a Year??

Been gone for a year?? Does time fly or what? I sort of just quit blogging..nobody ever read it anyway!! LOL I did find it a great therapeutic outlet though. Not as great as retail therapy unfortunately. No more retail therapy for awhile. I am laid off Can't even believe it happened. THe shock was hell, but after a couple weeks a major depression, I realized that it was probably a good thing. I was forced to "leave" a place where I had thought so many times before to leave. I was afraid of change and we all like security..so I stayed. My BF who is still there is miserable and I can now realize just how unhappy I was there. Taking some time off from "stress" and just chillin with all my hobbies and continuing to so my Zumba classes and geting sexier by the minute! yea right, not sexy,,but lookin a lot better and feeling a lot better too! I has been awesome if I must say so. I Have been junkin like crazy and fining some cool stuff to play with! just check it out. ]

the chairs were a peeling and filthy and one had a crack in the seat. I cleaned, sanded, primed and painted them and they are perfect to me now. These were free which is better. Caught them on the curb ;)
THe little bench I thought was cute, not sure what I am going to do with it, but I will post it later. It was $3.00. There is more, but I don't have pictures yet. Will continue as I continue to feel creative!!

Weekends, payday and just plain crap

Hi! How much do I look forward to the week-end? A whole hell of a lot I do. And it was payday..or as I say payout day..when it all goes back out.But heck it does feel good to have it, if only for a little bit! I swear it is getting harder and harder every day to make it. Gotta get my taxes done, so that I can try to get out of this awful hole. I am so depressed about this all now..but enough of Debbie downer and on with the blog. I have been feeling a little mojo this week and doing some scrapping. I finished a lo with Isabel's new kit "Always" and a lo with Sharia Braxton's new kit
"Note to self" and wow were these fun kits to work with!


It feel good to be creative and makes me forget some of the shit that goes on around me. Today I woke up to a very cold house..and damn-it my furnace is clicking on. THere is no way in hell I am going to call a repair man today and have the cost of a sunday repair bill. Got the space heater out and am cooking a turkey to keep the house warm. Tonight it won't be bad, since gee I am lucky to have 6 fur babies sleeping with me!
Peace out all and have a great week
