Totally Random...

This is a totally random post with not much to it but I am trying to post daily. Is anyone else as excited as I am about Fall? Winter? Ohhhhh I can't wait! I am not kidding, it is my favorite time of the year and absolutely makes me giddy! Fall means sweatshirt weather, bonfires, trick or treaters, and here it means JUNK WEEK, hehe. Also hello it means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner!! It is absolutely my favorite time of the year! Do you go shopping on Black Friday? Ohhhh it's my favorite! Soooo much fun! One year my mom, gramma, brother, twin sisters, and I all stayed up ( well most of us ) til about 3am then we headed out to get in lines, we literally look through the ads 100 times the night before making our lists and mapping out where to go to first! It is so much fun! That year that we went we were all going on no sleep, my brother was crazy, well he is crazy sleep or not and I am not kidding dude had us in stitches. They drove separately from us and the whole time we were going down the road ( he was the passenger ) he had his head out the sunroof pointing and hollering to where we were going, trying to direct traffic to the deals. Then we get out of the car at walmart and he starts running down the parking lot like a mad man yelling something about the sales. Anyway it's always a good time, it's fun and goofy and I love it. Unfortunately he moved away :( to Ok and not many others besides myself get into it anymore, so anyone want to come black Friday shoppin with me? haha! Wow, I totally got off topic there? Well I guess this is a random post. Would love to hear what your traditions for Black Friday shopping are if any?



Anyway, I have been working on several things the last few days...Sorry though you can't see them yet. But I will have most of them up tomorrow.


I took the old sign above...



Added one of the vinyls that I got at a garage sale a few weeks back....


And have this...Not done with it yet...


The $4 toybox with it's first coat of paint...it's drying after it's THIRD coat of paint....


Remember that 2nd jewelry box I showed you? Well here part of her is after some white heirloom spray paint...I thought I would try spraying her and I ran out...:( So until I get more for a 2nd this is her.

This is a key I got awhile back for .50....

and now....Stil not finished, wait til I show you what I did with it tomorrow...


Remember these? I will show you how they look tomorrow, lol.

Remember this sad clock? Ohhhh wait til you see her now! I wanted to show it to you last week but had some issues with it...Tell you about that later...


Remember this free tray I got from freecycle? Well wait til you see her now, love love love it! And let's just say it's not a tray anymore...




Sorry but that's all I got tonight...I say tomorrow but that is only 13 minutes away, so sometime wednesday I will post all the afters. I am so sleepy so I am off to bed. I am still making my way through DIY Thursday last week and Mondays thrifty treasures but I promise I will come see yours and will reply to all of those lovely comments and emails! I am so behind. Night my lovelies!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BLACK FRIDAY! My mom and I just started shopping that day the past 3 years! It's great. But, i have to say, people are a little crazy. The first year I brought my newborn baby along, and I shuddered in an aisle until all the crazies ran past. I have to admit, never before was a actually scared for my safety in a store....yet I still go back! :) Hope you find someone to go with this year!

Nicole, Can I tell you how many Black Fridays I have worked?! LOL The day was nuts, people were crazy, and boy did I make money on commission! Everyone wanted all the jewelry specials- 1ct diamond rings or bracelets, gold chains, etc. One year I sold over $40,000 worth of mdse in 12 hours. Great commission money.... but boy was I tired...

Hi Nicole!
I, too, love-love-love fall and winter! Crazy for Christmas and Thanksgiving!
I saw a huge Christmas tree at Hobby Lobby yesterday all decorated in fall leaves and fall decorations. That means I could get my tree out Oct. 31st! See! I have it bad!
Thanks for your visit.
