Did You Notice?!

I just changed the name of my blog. 

I wanted everything to match my Esty shop name to make things easier for me.

I am currently trying to run 3 home based business plus work full time so my hubby and I can get out of debt and just live life a little easier.

So I beg a little bit of patience from all of you while I get things geared up. 

I started here and now need to work on switching emails, face book, etc.....

But in the end I think that you will all like the changes i make.

Have a wonderful day everyone, I need to get busy plus go walk my 2 miles today!

Easy Peasy Candy Dish

While at my "other home" aka...Good Will store, I came up with a very simple idea for a home made candy dish. 

I took a small pudding cup (may a sorbet cup, not sure) and a pretty little bowl.  Use any color you like, I just prefer blue.

Add a little bit of E6000 glue and before you know it, a cute little candy dish!!

I paid less then a dollar for both items together.

Made a couple of them for my market booth.

I am off to the wonderful land of yard sales!!!  Have a wonderful day everyone!

Cute Soap Dish

Again, this is another project I saw somewhere else in blog land.

Take a small saucer and a cute little candle stick holder.  Add a little E6000 glue, which by the way I LOVE this stuff!!!    I glued the saucer to the candle holder, after sitting over night you have this....

Is this not the cutest little soap dish you have ever seen?!?!?!  I loooove it!!    So simple and so cheap!!  Both pieces cost me .25 each at a yard sale and I already had the glue!

Enjoy your day folks and I will visit with you soon!

PROJECTS!!!!!!

We just opened a booth at one of our local flea markets and I have been very swamped with making things for that.  I did have the fore sight to grab the camera and take pictures so I have almost a weeks worth of blogging!!  GO ME!!!!!

I get a lot of my ideas from trolling around other blogs.  I am also really bad at not remembering where I get my inspiration from, so if it is you, then a big Thank You!!  I will try to remember to write these things down in the future.  But lets face it folks, I am not that organized so don't hold your breath on that one.  lol


This is a small pile of items I used for one my my projects.  Wooden picture frames, skull decals, vintage bias tape, picture hangers  and paint.   What did I do with all this?  The answer is very simple.  Drumroll please!.................






Hair barrett holders!!!!!   My daughter likes them.  I am putting them in my booth to sell.

I will have more for you tomorrow!   Have a wonderful day everyone!!!
