Weekend Wrap Day

It's been a busy few days. VBS is just around the corner. I spent some time trying to decide on my decorations for my classroom. A friend of mine surprised me with a set of blue birds the other day at work. I just fell in love with them. I put them on my new corner shelf that I got from my daughter when we had our yard sale.

Turns out our local Vera Bradley Outlet was having a great sale this weekend. Everything was 50% off and if you got a discontinued pattern it was an additional 20% off. I found me a wallet I loved in the African Violet pattern. 

I also got this new little change purse with sea turtles. I love it.

My Facebook memories popped up with this yarn wreath using left over balls of yarn.

It also reminded me of this little flower display I mean to make and never did.

Guess I need to collect some of my yarn to get busy.

A couple of hours free....

What a crazy week. Worked. Got things gathered for a yard sale. Had a two day yard sale and it is back to work later today. But this morning, I have some free time. So I think I will reward myself with some retail shopping. The Vera Bradley outlet is having a 1/2 off sale. I was just checking out the website for the fun of it and saw this pattern. I am totally in love with it. I am going to run by the outlet store this morning to check out a possible Mother's Day gift for myself. 

I love the bag and I love the wallet. At least online I love them.

It also comes in a wristlet and I might like that better than the wallet. I'll just have to see.

On a side note, a friend of mine painted some wine bottles and is now decorated for Memorial Day. I just love this. 

I got me a glitzy new Paparazzi wrap bracelet. I don't know where I am going to wear it, but I do know I love all the bling. 

I went to a live FB Paparazzi party last night and they were doing drawings for a giveaway. I won a free piece of jewelry. Can't wait to get it tomorrow to see what it looks like. 

Have a great weekend!

Yard sale time

My friend Sherrie and I are having our annual yard sale today. Every year, I find more things I can part with from my endless supply of boxes and storage. Not as much this year as in the past since I keep downsizing. But hopefully enough to draw in a few sales. People do love a bargain. And our site is centrally located on a pretty busy road. 

Wish us luck. 

Just a little funny.....

And here are some good examples of why a cloud would think that. 

I rest my case.

Some pretties ...

I have been going to Kohls and various places to find something blue for the dining room table. I didn't care if it was a tablecloth, placemats or a runner. I can't find a thing that I like well enough to pay the prices they have had on things. But I was at Food City the other day. And in the Junior Mint aisle, I found a runner that was perfect. And it was just $3.99.

I was at Cracker Barrel the other day and saw several things I liked. They are a little high in pricing so I am watching for sales, which they have sometimes. I would love this book.

Check out the flip flops. I need these for the beach really bad.

I fell in love with this ensemble.

 Another cute book.

I love Max Lucado. This is his book Trade Your Cares for Calm. Looks like it would be a great read.

Have a blessed Tuesday.

Weekend wrap up...

It was an amazing two days off. It started with a couple of ballgames on Saturday watching my grandson Colby play. I also got to visit with my oldest grandson Garret who had just gotten back from Clarksville. They played again on Sunday so I went back for two more games. Got a good start on a tan. I was so happy to be wearing shorts and flip flops that a little sunburn was a small price to pay.

Alexis had her 8th grade prom Saturday night. I wish I could make time stand still. She is growing up way too much. I thought she looked so beautiful. 

I stopped at Cracker Barrel one night and picked up this little puffer fish to go with my sea turtle I got a month or so ago. I love the beach stuff at Cracker Barrel. 

That was about it. I'm preparing for a yard sale soon and I worked on that over the weekend in between ball games. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

Something to think about..
