I won 2 things!!

Hey Ya'll!!  I won!! Twice...

I won the book Blogging for Bliss from Joan at Anything Goes Here, check out her awesome blog.  I just saw today that she is about to hit her 100th post and 500th follower...that means another giveaway coming soon.

I'll try to share some cool stuff I learn from this book.  She also sent some really cool bug tags that I may use on my Boo grams. (see yesterday's post)

I won a contest from Barbara Jean at Treasures from the Heart. 

 She had watch faces/crystals and we had to guess how many were there and I came closest without going over.  I think she'll do this kinda thing again...be "watching" for it. hahahaha

I won some of the watch faces and placed them in my fall display glass apothacary jar with the acorns and rocks.  She also made me a potpouri sachet...black and white toile.  Love it!

I also bought a toile black and white framed piece from her.  Check out her store.

She is also following thru with Get R Done projects...go check her out and be inspired.  I think she's coming up on 200 followers.

Keep your camera close, girlies!!  xox!

Boo Grams

Well, no camera yet. 

 I'm getting my Boo grams together anyway because I gotta be the 1st to attack, right.  I have buckets from the $1 store that look like ghosts.  I have bags that are pumpkin or black that I've saved.  I also have those take out boxes and mine have bats on them.  I let the boys pick a friend or 2 each.  You should start with 3 to get it going, but there is no rule.

I've collected halloween socks, hair bows, candy, Peep marshmallow pumpkins.  You can get stuff everywhere.  Wal-mart, $Dollar Tree, drug store, grocery items. 

I had a friend give apple cider that had a halloween theme with cookies before to her neighbor. 

Give a decoration they can use or vampire teeth or gummy worms or eyeball gumballs.

I typed in Boo To You on google and this came up:

It has all the instructions you need to start a whole new trend in the neighborhood.

Beware:  it is exciting trying not to be discovered Ding Dong Dashin'.

Have a happy weekend!!

Random Thrifted decor

I cannot find my camera.  So, here is a draft I never posted.

A little corner of my kitchen cabinet.  I got the bread cross-stitch at the resale shop for $1 on 1/2 price day.

I got that creamer for $2 or $3 bucks somewhere.  The little iron was from my g'ma in Oklahoma. :0)

I love this funky scale.  I found it at a general store in Weldon, North Carolina near the MIL's farm.

I usually have a bowl filled with apples up there.

This is our fun marina themed bathroom for my boys.  Yes, that is a bright color and it is on the walls and ceiling too.  There is white beadboard all around the bottom of the room.  This funky sign is above their window.  I got it from a junk guy that thrifts in from the beach at Eastern Shore, VA while fishing and beach bummin'.  I also got a bouy from him...I guess I forgot to get a pic of it.

Have a fabulous Thursday and please check out:
