Good Will Been Very, Very GOOD To Me

I have found such awesome stuff at Good Will lately!

All this for under $15!!!

Sand er down......

And you too........

Close up views.....before......

And after......

Days and days of sanding, till my arms were numb,

painting and then of course

messing it all up,

or as we call it

adding the shabbiness!

We have all this cuteness!!

And my pride and joy!

It was hard to take this one to the store.........

That shelf turned out so, so cute!!!!

I took everything here........

We call it "The Big CK"
Cotton Kloset!


It's my sister's consignment store!

Not your regular consignment store.........
they only take in quality items and 
lots of great furniture!!  
And lots of antiques!!!! 

They have been voted the best consignment store in

Denver, like 4 years in a row!!!

Some days I come in here and spend all the money
I just made!!! 

If you are ever in Parker, CO stop by!!


Oh and the mirrors sold as I was carrying them in 
and the shelf was drawing a crowd!


It was to painful to tell it good bye.......
I had to leave!
I don't know who it went home with!
I'm sure it will be very happy!

Drop Cloth Curtains, Hiding Baby Chicks

I added a mud room on the back of my house.

It was going to be a laundry room but the price to run the pipes

was WAY more than I could afford.

As you can see the walls aren't finished yet.....

And it's a catch all for all my projects!

I've been finding some great stuff at
my Good Will!!!

Wait till you see!

Someday I'll get this room done!

I needed a closet door, but since the litter box is in there.......

and these precious
little babies..........

Of which I have in hiding from
THE BOYFRIEND!

The Boyfriend does not share in my enthusiasm

for chickens.......

Drop cloth curtains to the rescue! 

These are perfect!

 I love them!

The funny thing is The Boyfriend hears the 
little peep, peep, peeps.......

I keep telling him it's from a nest some birds
built in the drain pipe on the back porch.


He keeps saying "they sure are loud"!!! 


HA HA HA 

When they get feathers they can go outside with
everybody else.
The Boyfriend will never notice.......

By the way,
see the brown one, 

she's smart,

she listens to me!
Believe me I know..........

Have a wonderful Mother's Day everybody!!

I've Joined The Drop Cloth Bandwagon!

First of all I really hate it when my JOB interferes with my blogging!!

HELLO.....I've been so busy doing the stuff I get paid for 

I haven't been posting or checking in on everybody.

Checking in on all of you everyday
 is........ is......

Like a drug!
Like catnip is to cats, 
like oats are to horses,
 like a bone is to a dog, 
like ants are to picnics......... you get the idea!

I feel so lost, 

I feel like I've missed so much!!!

I may have to take a day off just to get caught up with you guys!!

SO now on to my 
 Drop Cloth cuteness!

Got some cheap cushions from the Walmart!

Took em' to my trusty sewing neighbor!


She did such a fancy job! 
Little velcro tabs on the backside.

I had her sew some different sizes 
so they weren't all matchy, match!

Cute, Cute 
I love them!!

So here I am 
now a proud member of
the Drop Cloth Club!! 

JUST ANNOUNCED!!

THE COLORADO 

IKEA

IS GOING TO OPEN AHEAD OF SCHEDULE ON

JULY 27TH!!!!

I am so calling in sick that day to work........

I'm camping out the night before.......

I am so excited!!!

A few weeks ago I won a give away from

the wonderful

Ellen at Abounding Life!

If you haven't checked out her blog

First of all she has great music on her blog!

It's fun!!

Sometimes I log into her blog and just let the music play!

It helps make my work day go faster!!

Who doesn't love Doris Day.....

And Ellen crazy...........

She took a coffee table and turned it into a mirror!!!!!

You have got to check this out!

Either she has way to much time on her hands or 

she gets the award for 
"thinking out side the box"!!!

Oh, what did I win......

Well when this came I was really upset.......

Thanks goodness Ellen packed it with a ton of
Kroger bags and tissue!!


I know there were a ton because I set the box outside my back door,
the wind blew,
 and I spent hours picking up Kroger bags and glitter tissue 
allll over my yard!!


This what I won!!
Cute, cuteness!

Don't cha just love that tea pot.......




And this frame.....

I need something very special to put in this frame......




Ahhhhhhhhhh

Easter Surprise!

I was at my Mom's house cleaning and I came across a box 

that had my name on it.

In it was a bunch of stuff I left behind when I moved to California

in my 20's........over 100 years ago.......

This little box was in there

and this box

When I saw them I knew exactly what was in them!

Of course they were Grams......

Gram's peak a boo egg....

Do they still make these?

 My sister and I had some when we were kids.

Of course they are long gone!  

How is it Gram's withheld the test of time!?

On my camera you can see everything just fine.......

This picture looks like some kind of sea creature!

There are flowers, trees, a little cottage in the back 

and of course a girl with a basket and an Easter Bunny!

This was in the other box!

This was Gram's too!

The bunny and the carrots are made out of some kind of soap stuff.

The ribbon has broken on his little bunny ears!

Whoa.........not a good look Mr. Bunny.

But look at his cute belly button!!

Then of course, I have all my antique 

Easter cards on display!

This one always makes me laugh.....

She kinds of a creepy lookin kid!!

Everybody have a wonderful Easter Sunday!
