Do you miss me?

I've been super super busy this week and it's only gonna get worse! (Until Monday)

My best friend is getting married this weekend and I am her MOH.

I am sorry for the lack of interesting posts.

BUT

I did make a trip to Goodwill earlier in the week and I am in the process of making a couple things that I think you'll like!!

One involves a candlstick...

One involves some yarn.

Okay, off to the bridal luncheon!!!

Have a happy weekend-

Chalkboard Tray.

Please be patient with me as I am in the process of getting a new blog template! Thanks!!!

The other day at Goodwill, I found this tray for $1.99.  It was originally from Target {says the sticker on the back} and I knew I could do something fun with it.

 

You can see that the glass is really old and musty looking. I tried cleaning it, but it still looks like this.

Enter: handy dandy chalkboard paint!

I painted the bottom of the tray and just cleaned up the sides with wipes.

{I made up the names, but then realized that my sis-in-laws best friend is named Jessica and she dates someone named Mark! haha)

So now when we have guests over, they can be greeted personally with a sweet message and a bottle of wine!

I think it was worth my $2!

Linking this project up to Not Just a Housewife.

Garage Selling and Gardening.

It was a wonderfully relaxing Saturday here at the Jones' household.  

We both woke up around 8:30 (which is sleeping in for us now!) and hubby headed to his tennis match and I took off for a few garage sells.  Let me tell ya, this time I got lucky!!  I found these babies for $25. All six of em!

(Four are on our back deck and two are on our private patio attached to our bedroom)

We have been looking for patio furniture for the longest time, and when I came across these, I knew we hadta have em!

I also planted my herb garden this past week. I bought these cute little tin pails in the dollar spot at Target and used chalkboard paint to paint a stripe on the front. Then I wrote the herb on there! I think they turned out pretty darn cute-

 I don't know about you, but I am so glad Spring is here.  We set out our birdfeeder and I have seen all kinds of different kinds of birds! Here are two that I snapped pictures of while they were fighting over the food.


Look how fluffy and beautiful this one is!

 And here is a cardinal. He is so bright!

 We finally got around to hanging our clothesline too!  After getting back from France, we both decided that we wanted a clothesline for the summertime. While hanging it, we ventured underneath our deck and Seth saw a freaking RATTLESNAKE.  He hates hates hates snakes..poor thing, he turned white and his heart was beating sooooo fast. 

Should we poison it?

 Do you think there are more than one hiding out?

Is it going to stay there all summer?

ICK! I want to kill it...aren't they really poisonous?

ANYWAY... here is our clothesline..I mean, weren't you dying to see a clothesline? ;)

So..that's what we've been up to this weekend!  We are right smack dab in the middle of SPRING CLEANING! (you know, the thing we've been trying to do for the past three weeks now)  Hubby had to take a break to watch the final 4.  I took this opportunity to blog.  :)

I also found something at Goodwill yesterday for $2 that I re-did this afternoon. I have already schedule the post to go up tomorrow, so I promise I won't let you down!  Hehe...
