More re-do's......

Here are a couple more things we have been working on....

This is a magazine rack I bought at an estate sale. I paid a little too much.....$12.00 Whoo Hoo

I LOVE this.

This is before..... (I already started sanding, oops)

AFTER!!!!! Cute huh??

I have to say this one is my FAVORITE!! I got this at the DI for a whole $5.00!!! And I got the paint for free in the mail from Gliddon a few weeks ago.

This is before.......

This is AFTER!!! AHHHHH

Now the fun part I get to ACCESSORIZE!!! Hmmm what to put on this???? LOL

This is a bookcase that Rich made me. He made this for me, my first birthday we were together.

It used to have hearts on the top but he took out the top piece and replaced it with this

whoopty-do top. And painted it. Then this chair..................I am very afraid of this chair. (I got it off craigslist)I took off all the fabric and padding and now I am not so sure what to do.... I do have some cute fabric but....that is as far as I have gotten. My plans are to work on this, this week so HOPEFULLY expect a blog about "the chair".

This is the best deal! I bought this Lego table for a dollar!!! Can you believe it!!?? The leg was broken and Rich asked how much (at a yard sale) and she said a dollar and he said SOLD!! Lane LOVES his new table,as a matter of fact he asked me before school yesterday if we could go yard saleing because he needs more toys..... LOL

Then my other GREAT deal .I got this a couple of months ago and I LOVE this piece too. I just need to find just the right material. I have been to the store twice and can't seem to find what I want. I find A LOT of what I want. So it is sitting until I can figure out what I want and I am a little afraid of this one too because I want to tuft it but I am not so sure how, so if you have any suggestions, just hollar. Ohh and the best part it was only $3.00. Well, it WAS $6.00 but the lady at DI said that they price things too high in the back and said she is ONLY charging me $3.00. man I like her,every time I am there now I go to her register.(wink)

So this is what I have been up to,just wanted to share.

Oh and the kids are great!!! Everyone loves their new teachers and school. We FINALLY are going to have a good school year since moving to Utah!!!

much love

Look what I have been doing............

The last week and a half I have gone to some yard sales and an estate sale and Habitat for Humanity and look at some of my GREAT deals...

The little pillow and the doiles and the silver tray are from an estate sale and I got this super cute magazine rack (that is being worked on) all for $18 (oops, the book was at a different yard sale and is was a gift to someone in 1928...)

These way cute patterns were a dollar and I can't wait to start making somethingThis ruler is from Habitat for Humanity and I have wanted one of these for a long time and I got it for .50 cents whoo hooo!!

Well this is the best!!!!I was at Lowe's with Rich and look what I picked up for .37 cents, well I got 4 of them...yup, valences for Ellie's room. I am making tea right now to tea die them to make them a little more shabby chic!!!

If you have a Lowe's by you I would RUN over there now they also have the panels for .64 cents and they come in pink,blue,green,purple and a tan/toupe pair of panels with a slight ruffle at the top with brown buttons way cute!!! I couldn't believe it!!

We are in the process of fixing up the basement a little bit and making some changes. So expect some more pictures soon. I bought the cutest round two tier coffee table at the DI for $5 dollars that I have been wanting for a LONG time and now I have one. It is so hot that we are waiting a while before we paint it and Rich is a little busy so I am trying really hard to be patient and wait....(wish me luck).

I just wanted to show off my little bargains. It is so fun to get a deal and transform them.

much love

Sherrie

Well I am still on Hawaii time so please excuse me for taking so long to blog...

In Hawaii we had to move locations from the North Shore to Waikiki.(That is why I didn't update my blog, I couldn't get wireless internet in Waikiki) it was so hot and MISERABLE we HAD to move. We got really lucky and found a condo for a few days and what a diference air conditioning makes!!!! I have to say Hawaii wasn't what we thought it was going to be like.......if we go back again (just Rich and I) I think we might try Maui, if we go back.....


Here are a few shots for my brother and his wife from the Dole factory this is an inside joke, so sorry for the "cheeseyness".....

You two new it was coming so here are our pictures of the Dole factory!!! The Dole Whip was fantastic!!! I think it may even be better in Hawaii than Disneyland!!! (wink)

I can't get over the way pineapples grow. I never really thought of it ...but boy were they good there!!!

Here is a couple of shots of the blah blah (can't remember name) blow hole (want to know how immature i am....I snicker every time I say that, blow hole He He)

It is on the windward side of the island way windy but pretty



A few shots of the family checking out the (he he) blow hole......(sorry, I can't help it)

Rich could not get over the way the tree roots/branches grew. So I had to get a picture of him checking it out....

twice............

This is a place close by where we stayed in Waikiki

So we are in HAWAII and what do my kids want to do.................swim on top of the condo in the pool ........

This was really fun, it was a free Hula Show by the beach. I loved the whole story behind the show and their culture

We also celebrated Rich's birthday there too. We had the best food for his birthday Cheesecake Factory!!!

Lane enjoying a soda,he got so sick at the end of this trip,can you see it in his eyes. Alan was sick at the beginning and then Lane got it ...

Lisa told our waiter it was Rich's birthday and look what they brought out to him and we sang "Happy Birthday" he wasn't thrilled but we were (wink)

I LOVE the look on Ellie's face she wasn't too happy about sharing a piece of cheesecake with Lisa or that it took almost 20 minutes for the two of them to decide on what kind to have but she was pretty upset Lisa was taking more than her fair share......

This is Hanauma Bay where it is supposed to be awesome snorkling but see all the black dots.....yup that is all the people there. So it was very busy and pretty windy that day and Rich and Alan had a hard time snorling....

The view from our condo in Waikiki

Ahhh my two sleepy heads. We had from 12 o'clock noon till 8 at night to waste time till we had to be at the airport so we drove around the island a bit

This is our last day

Ahhh, my Punkin. Lisa took this picture,not bad huh?

This is the final picture in Hawaii

Aloha

I hope you enjoyed all the pictures....

much love, Sherrie
