It's been a gorgeous weekend here! The perfect weather to hit some garage sales. I hit about 5 or 6 of them yesterday and found a few goodies. I love this vintage sleigh. I saw a clever idea on Pinterest where someone made their sleigh a welcome sign for the winter holidays. I'm definitely going to do something similar with mine. It was only $5.

In between the movies and pumpkin picking this weekend, I broke out this petite dollar store clipboard for a quick organizational makeover. First I spray painted it white. Once that was dry, I Mod...
