Recent Thrifty Finds


Two recent thrift finds from the Swap Shop. A carafe. Love the colors. I can imagine orange juice in it right now.


And a small, children's wooden desk.

Both were absolutely free.

What is a swap shop? You get things for FREE?? I really like that old desk. It reminds me of the one you commented on. If I could get a couple more, I'd be set!

Teachers' Gifts 2012

This year's edition of Teachers Gifts are adorable nest necklaces.  I made one for myself a few months ago. (I was procrastinating cleaning the house and decided, instead, to sit on my kitchen floor and make a necklace.) In the past few months, I have gotten a lot of compliments on my necklace, so I decided to make them in bulk. A friend's birthday, Mother's Day, and birthday gifts for my three sisters. So far they are a huge hit. (I personalized theirs using pink and blue pearls reflecting their children and families.) So it was no surprise when I decided to make them for the teachers this year. I saved up all my 40% Michaels coupons (and made Joe load the Michaels app onto his phone for more savings -- he must really love me).

Three

Today is the birthday of a very special little girl . She is three. She has been such a blessing to our family. And she is adored by each one of us. I can't imagine our lives without this little bit of feminine sweetness. Lately she has been pulling back my hair and telling me "secrets." They go like this: Spenser: "I love you."

Me: "I love you more than you love me." And we giggle the whole time. Happy birthday, Spenser. I love you more than you love me.

Literally. I've had a fever going on four days now. Last night it reached 102.7 and I swore my skin was going to start to bubble and blister. It took over two hours to fall asleep because the heat of my body ricocheted off my feather bed, making me feel hotter than I already was. This morning I was only 99.9, but I can feel my cheeks getting hotter. I have perked up though. (I laughed a few times. And joked with the kids this very morning .) Just in time to get back to the dishes and laundry that have piled up. I'll be back. Eventually. I just didn't want you to think I was locked in the chicken coop again .
