Summer Addiction!

So my new every summer addiction is back.  And I cant escape it.

$1 Large Cokes at McDs.  I swear they spike their coke so it tastes better than anyone elses.  Oh and a little secret it cost the same with or with out ice, unlike Sonic who will charge you extra for no ice.  I HATE ice in my coke.

here are two past comercials for them that I just love.

that one was from 2 years ago

And this one is from last year.

What is it that you cant escape?

Oh and don't get me started when the Monopoly starts!

Yard Sale Deals

So I went yard saleing (Saleing is a word i've made up and proud of it.) Saturday and found some great things. I'll 

Got this for $1.00 it will need to be washed but other wise it is in great condition.

Got this book for $0.25 I read it as a kid and now i can add to my collection of kid books for my kids to enjoy in the future. 

Got some great clothes for the kids too. these are for Chase and Caleb for $4.50

And these for Alexander and Zachary plus two button downs and a pair of shorts for $3.00.\

This I got for $1.00 and it will be a future craft/give away. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with/to it but i'm sure paint will involved. I'll have to think like my friend Dana!

These fun books I got all 3 for $1.00, I have a fun craft plan (From My Pinterest) for them and at least one will become a give away too!

Have you ever found some great yard sale deals?

Give Away!!!

So the GIVE AWAY is here!!!

Before you see it I'm going to take you through how it was made!

My inspiration cane from Naptime Decorator Who I found on my Pinterest.

So here we go...

I told My dad about wanting to make this and what i would need and he just happened to have this piece of wood that was perfect for it.

These are my lawn Chairs and they came in handy so we could cut the wood in half.

now we have two 24X24 pieces 

I spray painted them white and set then on the table in the screened in porch to dry over night

after going to the farmer's market the next morning I got to work taping off my chevrons. 

on mine i gig skinny chevrons and on the give away i put fat ones.

I had paint left over from when I had painted my room a few years back and it was the perfect color.

After painting them I left them to dry.

When they were most of the way dry I started removing the tape. And then I let them dry the rest of the way.

Next I grabbed some computer paper to give me an idea of where i wanted to put the frames.

And then using some acrylic paint and a stencil to add little birds to the corners.

Here is the thermometer hanging in the porch.  You can see how the paint dried so fast!  and it is hotter outside of the porch.

Lastly I painted on some stampin' up paper with a cute saying i found on pinterest.

And then framed it Hot Glued it onto the wood. 

 This is the one I will be giving away!

Close up of the little birds. 

Mine I put a Picture of me and the boys!
