MEme Monday!

My friend Supah is starting MEme Monday! You should seriously check her out cause the cjick is f.u.n.n.y!


Her first is

Five quirks about MEme.


SO here's 5 of mine.

1. I really really hate feet over the age of 5 years. They are gross and stinky and nasty. Now I love my feet rubbed but please do not ask me to do yours cause it ain't happening. My girls still try to get there feet on me and jump back before I hit their toes with a knuckle.

2. Needles are B.A.D.
I have a thing about them,don't want them near me,can't watch people on tv get a shot even. They are defiantly a necessary evil.

3. Snot, You know these snotty little kids that run around? They have it blowing bubbles from their noses,running into their mouths and usually across one sleeve or God forbid their arm. I can wipe my kids snot all day but do not want someone elses kids snot on me. BLAH!

4. Boxes in the trash can. WHY can't someone break them down? They take up so much room and all I ask is for someone to break them down. :(

5. Spiders...I'm sure this isn't a quirk really but a phobia...same difference. I really am scared of them. I know they are aliens. One can get on me and I will freeze up and cry like a baby. They are not normal...aliens I tell you.

Trash to Treasure Tuesday

 ***11-12-09 I'm adding this to the DIY Show Off Show and Tell Surprise Party.






 So a sloppy second for you all.***


I thought I would post to Diane's Trash to Treasure. I've been lurking over there and seeing all the great thrifty finds for a while now...might as well join the fun! This is a armoire (spl) I found in a thrift store. I only paid $80 for it and thought that was a bargain. Someone had done a dry paint all over it in blue and I really didn't like how it looked. I also think it might have been left outside because it was filthy inside. It only has 4 knobs in this picture and since I redid it i lost one so I only have 3 now. Maybe I'll come across 2 like these? Probably not...

I think it might have originally had glass where the chicken wire is now.

This is after sanding and using paint remover *stinky* for what seemed forever. I had so many cramps in my hands doing the sanding on this thing.
I painted the inside a cream color and decoupaged old hymnal sheets on the shelves. I had some pretty ribbon I put on the edges.

I decided to hang some burlap like material behind the wire while I used it as extra storage....I might change that up once we get finished with the remodeling on the house.

For more Trash to Treasure Go check out Diane's place. Thanks!
