Fix and Keeps

I saw this little beauty the other day for $7.00, SCORE!!! A little bit of paint did it wonders and now I have a new coffee table.


Ok so here is the $5.00 headboard that I have been working on. I got it all painted and sanded and then my wonderful father-in law came for Thanksgiving and him and Ken cut out the wood and stapled the fabric and the batting to go on the inside. I think it turned out really well and I love the way it looks.

Craigslist, Love it!!

Shh don't tell anyone but I have a new found love for finding other people's junk and fixing it up. You know how some people will buy old fixer up houses and do some work and then turn around and sell them for more than what they paid for... enter Craigslist. I am so addicted to other peoples junk now. We live by a pretty wealthy area and it is amazing to me what these people will give away. Ken calls my little projects "fix and flip" or I sometimes call them "fix and keep".

The dresser I got for $10.00 and turned around after fixing it up and sold it for over $100.00

This is my new kitchen table I got, it was pretty "ugly" when we got it home and needed some repair really bad. Several hours/days later and I love the way it turned out.



$50.00 hutch... turned around and sold it for a pretty dollar bill (well actually hundreds of them).



$2.75 chairs, keeping these little gems.


Check back in later, I found this $5.00 headboard and completely changed the look of it, so loving it!

This post is for all the moms who think their sweet child can do nothing while your talking on the phone.

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween this year. We went Trunk or Treating at the church Friday night and had a great time with our ward family. The girls loved showing off their costumes and we had a good time with friends. Sunday night the girls were so excited to pass out candy to the trick or treater's in the neighborhood. It was a fight to get to the door every time the doorbell rang, I think they loved passing out the candy more than getting candy.

1st day of school

The girls had a great first day of school!!! Ellie is super excited to go back tomorrow, let's just see how long this will last. Maci made a ton of new friends and loves her teacher. Ellie loved eating lunch with her friends and was way excited to bring me home a note to sign (she has seen Maci bring stuff home over the years to be signed and Ellie felt so grown-up).

Presley had a little bit of a rough day missing her sisters and so did mommy. Tomorrow's outfits are already layed out and the girls are all fast asleep and the best part is that it is only 8:00.

Ft Worth Stock Yards

This could be my next mode of transportation (it's green right???)

You don't see this every day walking down the street.

Gotta love the TEXAS LONGHORNS!!

Maci did really good, it's in her genes from her great grandpa-he would be proud.

Last night was great, we needed to get out of the house so last minute we drove 15 minutes to downtown Ft. Worth and had a great time!! It made me realize that I so need a pair of cowgirl boots, ok maybe two pairs.
