Yard sale day

Sunday, September 11, 2011

I have been looking forward to this weekend for a while, City wide yard sale in Jacksonville!  Jacksonville is an adorable little historic town here in Oregon, filled with cute little Victorian homes and some extraordinarily large and beautiful Victorian homes.

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to score on some great items in need of a makeover.  Sadly, Brian had to work this weekend, so it was just going to be me and the girls.  I had my girls in the stroller, cash in hand,and was ready to find the diamond in the ruff.  Unfortunately, the only thing purchased today was an old wooden ladder for $3 bucks :-)  It was not a total loss; I did have a great day walking around with my girls, eating kettle corn, and going to the park.

I was really in the mood to purchase something that would help me out on my DIY endeavors though, so after the girl's naps we went to the craft store.  I must say besides the glitter that the girls were tickled pink about, I got the perfect things to finish a couple projects I have in the works.  I'll give you a couple hints...one of them has to do with this wall piece and burlap :-)

Regardless of how productive my weekend was, I am so grateful and blessed that I could spend it with my girls.  My heart goes out to those who have lost loved ones 10 years ago today and I will never forget all the sacrifices from the great Americans on this day.

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend.   I will be working hard on my new projects to show you soon!
