I just have to tell...

Hello All!! Another weekend of fun and work. It goes so fast, and before we know it, Monday is here. As I was sitting here at the computer this am, I realized that next Monday my girls all go back to school. We have one more week of summer. Wow!! Children grow up so fast. Anyway, I received and found some fun things this weekend. I just have to tell...
This sheep is from Debbie. It is from a Pay it Forward. Isn't it so cute?
She also sent some yankee candles. My favorite scent is the one on the right--Home for the Holidays. How did she know?

I also received this cute buuny. She made it, too. What a generous pay it forward. Thanks, Debbie.
I found this red chair at a yard sale Saturday. Guess how much I paid for it? $5.00---yes, $5.00!! I asked the lady, "How much do you want for the chair?" She said, "5.00!!" I'm sure my mouth dropped. I said, "SOLD!!!" I paid her, lifted it up, and took it to the van. That was fun!!
I also found this table. It is black and distressed. The lady said she just had never had the time to paint it and fix it. FIX it? Looks fixed to me. I said--"Oh, I like it just the way it is". It was $2.00. Another mouth-dropper. It fits in the decor of my home just right. Can't go wrong with finds like that!! I hope you all have a wonderful Monday. It's off to swimming lessons...
Be Nice to People,
Julie
