Monday Madness!



Wow, I worked so hard this weekend, and became overwhelmed in "stuff". First we took Tony for his final private lesson and evaluation at Richard Lee's Kung Fu Academy and it was GREAT! The instructors are fantastic and I was amazed at how much Tony had learned in only a few lessons and his focus and determination almost had me in tears I was so proud! He has been accepted and will receive his official uniform today! I am very excited for this new chapter in his life! I then started to try to get through the boxes and boxes of Scrapbooking and Artist supply stuff and quickly became overwhelmed. I didn't realize how much it had taken over our garage! I became upset and had to walk away. Sunday was a different story! I am a morning person and do my best "cleaning" type work first thing, so off I went to tackle the boxes. I am proud to say I made a great dent in it and have so much to offer everyone! I took 5 at a time shoe sized boxes, lined them on the floor and started filling them up with all the "extra's" and goodies I had in each random box or bag. I am selling them at $5 a pop and they are worth so much more, I can imagine how fun it would be to get one and go through the goodies! I know you'll love them and I hope you can come on down to see it all. I have at least 20 $5 boxes, and I even have bigger ones for $10. It will give me great pleasure to part with it, and it will make me happy to make other happy with product! It will also be a regular garage sale, with all my purses, shoes and clothes, but don't forget the vintage display items as well. Lots of fun things to make you smile.
My special will be for the website: If you make an online purchase of newer product on the website by Thursday September 22nd 9pm, and plan to come on Saturday to pick it up, I'll take 25% off your bill and I'll have a special goodie bag just for you! Just put in the discount code "GARAGE SALE" and your discount will apply. If you don't live close, I'll honor the discount if you'd like it shipped as well. Just put "ship" in the comments section!

I hope to see some of you there on Saturday, We are all very excited about it!

Monday Happiness!



I have been working hard at home organizing, purging and trying to get myself ready for new things in my life. To that end, I am going to start offering up my weekly "Steal". This week will be the entire Pink Paislee Parisian Anthology Collectin (that I have in stock) at an unbelieveable price of only $25, with $5 shipping charge. You can get it HERE. I love the beautiful colors of this collection and the embellishments are beautiful! The retail price of all these items is over $52, so this is a "STEAL".

Each week will feature a different "collection" or "box" of goodies! Remember, I do have mystery boxes still available, and you can tell me if you want Altered Artist Items, Scrapbooking items and 3 of your favorite manufacturers, and I'll include those in your box! You can get one HERE

One final note, SAVE THE DATE! September 24th I am holding a huge garage sale. I plan on filling clear rubbermaid boxes with items and marking them $5, $7, $10 filled to capacity with scrapbooking items, vintage items, buttons, beads, and baubles, that I just haven't used! More info is coming, but I'm already getting things together. I'll have lots of vintage style furniture, display items, trays, trunks, you name it! I'm sure you'll find lots of fun things!

ETSY Goodies!




As I have been posting that I am starting to purge my "normal" scrapbook supplies, and start up my Art Life goodies, I wanted to share 3 new things I posted on ETSY. I love ETSY, and that is where I got my start, so I'm going back to my roots for awhile until I can dwindle the supply on my website. There is a darling safety pin which has some fun Halloween Charms and beads, a ribbon bag, and of course a goodie box filled with tickets, charms, and goodies in my stash. You can reach my ETSY HERE and take a look. I'll be adding more to it hopefully every day or so.
Tonight Tony and I will pick a winner of a goodie box from me, so come on back tomorrow to see if you won!
