Have you signed up for my giveaway yet? Scroll down a few posts if ya havent:)

A Re-do and FINALLY a few finds!

I can NOT believe we're almost in July!

Our weather has been pretty funny, last Saturday I actually had the furnace on!

We went from pretty much cold to way too hot, but Im really not complaining!

My craft show on Saturday was a wash out! It was cold and rained ALL day! There was no way I was going to set up under my tent with the rain blowing side ways to ruin all of my hand mades, so I have this HUGE collection of Americana prims sitting in bins. I ran an ad on CL yesterday, I am having a sale right here at my house this Saturday to see if I can get most of this sold, who knows my Birthday Giveaway may come to the winner in a few boxes, ha!

Ive been hitting some good sales, every so often and the stuff is just piling up in the basement and garage. I wanted to get it ALL together and take one big fat pic but that didnt happen so Im posting what I have just sitting in the garage for now!

I didnt get a before shot of my breadbox re-do but Im sure youll get the idea

And a few things Ive found at recent garage sales,

Look at the shelf - $15, already primmed up! BUT its already had a coat of black because it had some sort of gold paint on it that just wasnt me. And I figured Ide get sick of the stars after a while so gone they are!
There are 2 of the little chairs but one is being used in the house




Stay tuned cause I got lots more:)

Froggy!!!!

Have ya ever felt froggy? Im feeling kinda froggy this morning!

Dom and I are just getting over a nasty head cold. Thankfully I was able to move yesterday to start AND finish Mr Frog. So I wanted to sneak in a quick peak at Doms Mr. Frog cake! I started with a nice Wilton 18 tip decor on him but my frosting kept melting and running down so I decided to just smooth it all out! I had to keep cooling him down in the fridge every few minutes and was having a breakdown about it. Then I realized kids dont care about all of that, right?

He is SO excited he wouldnt go to sleep last night, ha!

We're headed outside to get everything ready for his party and find a few froggy friends:)

Ill post party pics tonite!

2 New Dolls

Good Monday Morning!

Today is Domonics 3rd birthday! I can NOT believe my baby is 3 years old already.
Where does the time go? I tell him every night before bed, not to grow up, stay small and stay home with mommy forever! He agrees, and says I stay small mama!

He LOVES frogs and toads, so Saturday hes going to have his big green frog birthday cake that I'm going to attempt to create! When we're outside, he will carry around a toad ALL day, until it dies, or until it "hopped away", haha!!!

Whats going on with this weather? I don't know about you but its COLD here in NY! I'm serious, last week I had the heat on ALL WEEK! Saturday was nice so we were able to get outside and get some much needed garden work done. I split up 3 HUGE hostas and ended up with 11 smaller plants that went on the side of the workshop. That's alot!!!

Also have been busy getting ready for my Carnivals 4 A Cause show in 2 weeks.
This is my 1st show so I'm a little worried about things selling! When this is over Im taking a few weeks off to spend some time with the kids and then Ill be starting on Fall and Christmas for 2 shows in late Aug!

This 1st doll is a rag stuffed stump doll from Simple Thyme Primitives.
She will be available by custom order on YRP late today, if you're interested shoot me an email.



This other doll is from Vivian Fuller.
She will also be a custom order on YRP late today.






Well.....my coffee is screaming for me, have a great week!
