Thrift store finds…an old candy jar and a candle holder make a great marriage! $2.50 invested…Use your E600 or Gorilla glue and you have an instant apothecary jar! I added my soft strawberry candies (dollar tree), some trim and an old clip on earring for some bling!
My bargain radar is a genetic disorder. The bargains seem to find me. Or I am subconsciously always on the lookout. Maybe it’s my third eye thing. That intuitive part of me that helps me out with my music therapy sessions and knowing what people are thinking or going to say. Regardless, I have been called the bargain queen. One good friend of mine said, “You’re going to have a coupon to bury yourself!” I actually HAVE seen those kind of coupons. Not yet! See more deals at Frugal Frills.
So…here is my latest busy-ness…
Vons had these cute 4”ish pink and white heart shaped ramekins! Since I have a fondness for hearts and my paper crafting business is called “Close To My Heart” and since my happy scrappy place is shabby chic pink, white and black, AND since I am a container FREAK, I had to have these. Oh, did I mention they are half price this week? Only $1.49 each!!!
You could even bake something in them, what a concept!
OH…and this week at Michaels I found these way cool felt ribbons with real stitching on the edges ($1) and the cute flower ribbon was clearanced for only 25cents!!!
It’s official! I’ve joined the land of blogging! I love to scrapbook, make cards and do paper crafts along with Home Décor! (Which I will be teaching in Florida!)
I hope you decide to sign in and come back and visit me soon! If you sign in, you will get goodies from me! I plan on posting often and I have so much to share!
I’ll start by sharing pictures of My Shabby Chic Retreat!
It’s taken awhile, but my garage has morphed into my sanctuary. My Happy Scrappy Place! Where I can light my candles, play my favorite music, feel INSPIRED and get CREATIVE!
So here are a few pictures of my space to INSPIRE your space!

These boxes hold all of my cool Close To My Heart Acrylic Stamps!
These are the best quality clear stamps on the market!
