I Love Paris in the Spring Time!

Goodwill really is just as special as Christy described it! I was awake at 5:30 and couldn't stop thinking about how many things I might find! Like a treasure hunt...some of the people even look like they could be pirates! This time I was going for frames. I have a project that I want to do in my hall. I have four boys that love to draw, so I need some place to display it. I found this article in Family Fun Magazine called Masterpiece Theater. The one I liked(picture) is perfect for what I want to do. I found a bunch of great frames at Goodwill. Now, I just need to get the paint to pull them all together. While I was looking at the frames, I found these great prints of Paris. My husband and I went to Paris about nine years ago, and I loved it. I have been wanting to do my office in a Paris/French theme, but wasn't sure how to go about it. Now I have a starting point! The best parts are they were only $4.00 each and ready to go up. Only two more weeks until the next 50% of Everything Sale!!

Goodwill Madness

You know it's goodwill eve when you can't sleep and you feel like you felt a as a little kid waiting for Christmas morning to come. Because you know Santa left you the most amazing gift. Ok I know I'm a little sick when goodwill gets me that excited. I can't help it, the bargains are amazing. Yes it's true the stores smell a little strange, the people are interesting and that's putting it nicely, and the lines to check out are only to the back of the store. But you have to check this place out. Wear your favorite sneakers, leave the makeup at home...you want to blend in, bring an amazing friend to bounce ideas off of and you have the best strategy to bargain shop. I basically bought two project purchases and one instant gratification buy. The projects I will share when they are completed. So here is my instant purchase.



I bought this amazing comforter and sham set for only $18.00 total. Now hang on don't freak out. I know what your thinking...."how could she buy something like that and put it on her bed." Oh come on, you can wash it and make it look like it came out of the bag fresh from the store. Only better because I just saved.....hang on here it comes....$101.99. That's right I found the full priced quilt on line and way more expensive than mine. Goodwill.....You have to try it.
