Having a good weekend? :]
I've had a pretty good weekend...aside from blood tests and such.
But I've gotten a lot of creative goodness done this weekend, so you can't beat that!
Ian, Greg, and I went thrifting on Saturday and OHHHHH BABY did i hit the jackpot! I scored so many awesome things that i am SO excited about!

But fiiiiirsttt... I have THIS!!!

which *i love* :]
Ok, now seriously though: THRIFTING!

A huge bag of vintage sewing notions...

a baggie of bobbins...

a tin full of old wooden spools...yum

this came in the sewing notions bag with pins in it and i just thought it was cute. :]

and my favorite: some mismatched dishes. Mmmm. I love the colors: yellow, pink, and grey. I almost didn't see the matching saucer to the mug but i snatched it up as soon as i could. haha

Other thrifted things that aren't pictured up close include: a plastic wire-looking bin, some real wire bins, a porcelin egg cup, some new rolls of adhesive wall covering, crepe paper, a cassette tape, and scrapbook paper. All the things I got for a mere $12!!!

Aside from that, we went to Target and I scored some stationery stuffs on sale! I got some cards with birds on them that are blank inside and some matching embbossed tags to go with them for $1.50 together. Woot!


Plusss I've been scouring the internet the past few days which i love to do. *favorite pasttime. I found a few things i wanted to share.

*Check out this nautical font that you can download for free! There are millions of types of fonts, but i just LOVED that one.
*Also, i was on etsy and found this! She makes handcarved stamps! I'm in love with the hedgehog, the sewing machine, and the cupcake. I just thought they were awesome!

Now THIS little beauty i made on Friday night while playing 80s Trivial Pursuit with the boys. I cut, batted, and covered a cork tile that i had in my room and made a little bulletin board type dealie. I think its SOOOO cute.
***side note: I'm terrified of birds in real life but i have NO idea why I like them in scrapping and decorating so much. They just look nice in drawn form. But the real things=deathly afraid. That is all.

THESE... DAH DAH DAH DAAAAAHHHHH!... are my new Inspiration Wire (FINALLY put up!) and my collage wall. I'm very proud of both and I can't wait to switch them up and add to them! (This first photo is a little blurry. *my appologies*)

I'm glad I got to share everything! Loved it!
