I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't had too much time to blog of late. Camp ended for my boys last week, so don't have a lot of free time to craft or blog. My posts until back to school will likely be few and far between. But I did want to share a few thrifty finds from last week. Yes, I'm already thinking ahead to Halloween. I want to make more creepy book stacks...
We had our boys' birthday party this weekend so I had to skip garage sale shopping again. That's okay because I popped into Home Goods on Friday for a little retail therapy. I went in looking for a tablecloth for the party - which I did get - and came out with this little ceramic love dish. So adorable! And then there was this little bird plate.

I used the last bit of my Annie Sloan Old White chalk. Seriously, I was...
I picked up a plain, white prayer candle for 50 cents at a garage sale earlier this month. It sat and sat - patiently waiting for some sort of makeover. I finally got around to dressing it up yesterday. I printed off this gorgeous holy card image (from The Graphics Fairy) onto label paper. All I had to do was cut, peel and stick. Then I added a pink rhinestone and hand-stamped the word prier...
Remember the wood rooster cutting board I picked up last weekend at a local garage sale? Now it matches my chalkboard pig! I gave it a few coats of chalkboard spray paint over the weekend. I have it displayed in the kitchen across from my piggy one. The boys love it and so do I! Jeanine ...
