I decided to take my camera with me on Friday when I headed out to yard sales. I dropped the girls off at school, and the boys and I hit some around the school. Everyone was really nice about me taking pictures, except for the Dooney & Bourke lady (see below) that kept asking if I was going to put this in the paper. She looked pretty worried, so I put it away. I love going on Friday mornings because there just are not as many people and better selection.
It was so much fun going through your 122 comments and visiting your blogs. I was crossing my fingers to get 50 entries, so when we went over 100, I knew I had to throw in another little prize. I wish we could all meet in person at Sonic for happy hour. Okay, here goes:
We were very scientific with our drawing~
I copied and pasted all of the comments into a Word Document and printed them off onto my lovely mauve paper I didn't know quite what to use for.

First of all, the giveaway below continues until Sunday~thanks for all of your kind words and links on your blogs.
I was going to say cheap gift giving, but creative sounds much better, don't you think? And no, it's not re-gifting, I promise.
I'm always on the lookout for nice, thick frames at yard sales. This is from my treasure hunt last weekend...It's a gold frame with a scripture in it that I got for 50 cents.
First of all, thank you so much for the response so far with the blog warming and giveaway~I'm completely overwhelmed~it has been so much fun! How about if we take entries through the weekend and I'll draw first thing on Monday morning. If you haven't entered, you have until Sunday night..now on to a deal!
Office Depot has the 12 pk of retractable Sharpies on sale this week in their stores for $3.99 as part of their 22nd Anniversary Sale. This is an amazing price as they are regularly $19.99. We gave these to teachers last year for Christmas gifts with "thanks for being such a sharp teacher" or something along those lines. They loved them. And who doesn't love writing notes and special messages with a bright green apple Sharpie? Just thinking ahead for the holidays...

Welcome to my new blog! We're keeping the old address as our family blog and taking it private. So, I've transferred all of my "home" stuff over here, so please update your bookmarks. I have my first giveaway also! Here is what is included in my autumn/halloween theme giveaway:
* the famous 3 opening frame with an autumn theme~this time I used "autumn" with the little white pumpkins. It also comes with a little black wire stand.
I'll post my yard sale treasures from this weekend a little later, but here is one of them. This pair of roosters were 25 cents because they were chipped and one had been glued back together. I think they look kind of mean too~look at those eyes! Yikes! But, we're looking at *potential* here, so minus a quarter later, I brought them home with me to see what we could do. Doesn't everyone need a rooster in their kitchen somewhere?
