I love the feeling of being home! I truly enjoy being surrounded by the people I love and the things that make me happy. I am passionate about finding joy in my home---which for me has a double meaning. My home is where I find comfort and discover who I am by using my talents and abilities.
I'm an avid thrift store shopper and collector. I love to create, re-purpose, design, re-invent and build all sorts of things.
I am passionate about helping others find the joy in their homes that I do in mine. And I believe that it doesn't take a lot of cash to do it.
"The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create." ---Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I am SO glad you posted this! I was just at Dollar Tree yesterday and saw those. I wanted them since I figured I could to something awesome, but since I couldn't think of anything at that moment, I didn't get them. Thanks to you, I will be picking some up on Monday. You had an awesome idea!
Clever, cute AND CHEAP!!!! Three favorite words of a junker. I came over from Pam's at Frippery to say congratulations. I get to leave with a prize of an idea. Thanks. Debbie
Thanks sister for the great "what to do with my decorative balls" advice! Love this crafty reminder idea! I have been finding some great dollar store finds my way as well. Thanks for all the great posts. Your blog keeps me inspired. And as Martha would say, "That's a good thing."
You are so creative...I haven't had a chance to email you...i's love for you to be a part of the Project...Your talent is so inspiring...You could help us create more in 2009! :) Let me know if you want me to add you as a writer...Meme
AH-HA! I have a couple of those wood plaques from the $$ store floating around my house. I'm getting some Chalkboard paint tomorrow. A nice subtle reminder, and VERY cute. THANKS! Have a good day.
Our Dollar Trees are not compatible. I was inspired by you and stepped into mine last week to find nothing but absolute JUNK - and not the good kind. A little disappointing!
Too funny! I bought a bunch of these last week. I've painted one for a little girl's bedroom (gift for a bday party)....of course I didn't take a picture...heck, I barely got it there dry! haha! I'm now following your blog...can't wait to check out things to come. smiles, Jackie
Yet another great use for chalkboard paint. Knowing my husband though he would smudge out the chore words and write something fresh in it's place. Awesome idea though. Thanks. My best, Lynn www.safebeauty.blogspot.com
Hey, I found some of those two but hadn't figured out what to do with them,, what a cute idea. Now just gotta find some of that chalkboard paint. Thanks for sharing with us.
What fun you have been having. You['ve done so well with the Oops paints the colours in your place look great! Love the chalboards. I am going to have to see if we have something like that in our Dollar Store...I would like to make something for a menu. Love it! come by and visit some time. I will be back too Judi
