second chances!

A couple of weekends ago, my hubby took me on one of my favorite Saturday morning adventures of all times. It all started with a McDonald's chicken biscuit and a mocha frappe, yum. I could write an entire blog about Saturday morning Mickey D's breakfasts, but then my 5 readers would turn into none in a hurry, ha! We figured out we make quite the team at navigating our way through the local garage sales. Here are a few of our finds.

This poor ugly ducky got sold to me for fifty cents!

He got made over into this. I added a magnetic board behind in lieu of the duck burlap that was goin' on before, painted, and then distressed and made a home for it here..

I found this old frame for one dolla.

And made miss Maddox a bow holder. I painted, glazed, and added ribbon to it.

Not a bad day for less than 2 dollars, and maybe I did enough walking, sanding, painting, etc. to burn off that biscuit.

Bold Moves

This week we made a bold move, bold I tell ya. We won't be cruising around in our

much longer. Instead, you will find us in...

Which will bring us 10,000 smack-a-roos closer to calling our friend Dave,

to let him know we're debt freeeeeeeeeeee! We can't wait to say those words, and are looking forward to having financial freedom in our lives. Our desire is to be good stewards with what God has given us. I don't think in ten years when we have no mortgage we will remember not having cheek warmers! Here's an interesting fact for ya while we are on the subject: The bible speaks approximately 700 times on the subject of love, and nearly 2100 on handling money. Stubborn humans.
