Happy Labor Day!
Look at that crazy mess of cords and wires! We had our computer big main box (what in the heck is it called?) to the left of the desk, but it was near a vent, so we needed to move it. We had the idea of drilling a hole in the countertop (it’s laminate~if you have a drill, you can buy the attachment to make the hole at any hardware or home improvement store for around $7-$8)
I found these shoes when I was visiting in Utah: ($5)
And wished I could bring this table home with me…I think it would be a perfect desk/work table! 
A tackle box for the boys’ room: $1
This big print was in a pile marked free in front of a house. It has a chip on the left side, but if I paint the frame I don’t think it would be noticeable. I am thinking maybe a chalkboard for the master bedroom? Hmmm…
A big old milk glass vase: $3
Another big print (upside down!)~I’m thinking it could be a candidate for some cool subway art in the family room?? $5
Kristin and I coming back from yard sales in Montana. With a white board, a globe, and no makeup :)
I found a bug tub of Legos for 50 cents! This is what happened when my Dad opened the trunk:
I’m joining Rhoda’s Thrifty Treasures party!
What about you..any amazing finds lately?
Didn’t get to one caught my eye post the whole summer! It’s good to be back:
I love all these diy growth charts I’ve been seeing around! Here is one from 517 Creations:
We made these on the first day of school, and if you are the chewy chocolate chip cookie type, you’ll love these!
Love this tutorial from John’s Journal: how to cover bamboo roman shades with fabric. They are fully functional!
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I may just go paint something yellow…
Happy Weekend!!
I haven’t shared deals in forever, but here are some that caught my eye this morning…back to school + it’s never too early to think holiday shopping! It sounds awful to be thinking about this early, but I love getting it checked off so December isn’t {as} crazy…
I was ready to switch it up a bit as I’m preparing to tackle the entryway next…“I see women who are doing their absolute best in every way – but they keep track only of their mistakes. They make lists of things they haven’t done instead of the phenomenal amount of things they’ve accomplished. No matter what mountain of achievement they’ve just climbed, they stumble over molehills, saying things like, “But it’s not enough,” or, “I didn’t do it well enough.” The good news of the gospel is that who we are is okay. Our best is good enough. The Savior came for us –just as we are.
…perfect people don't need a Savior. He came to save his people in their imperfections. He is the Lord of the living, and the living make mistakes. He's not embarrassed by us, angry at us, or shocked. He wants us in our brokenness, in our unhappiness, in our guilt and our grief.”
