Good day to Goodwill It!


Is Today a Good day for Goodwill?
I think Everyday is a good day for Goodwilling it!
But today I will be on the search for OLD WALLPAPER!


Cheap Old Wall paper though!

Dawn has Shown me a Project that Just simply Will Not leave me Alone!

I have been wanting to replace some doors in my house, Just because mainly I'm sick of painting..
So Old wall paper over the old 1990's Pressed wood doors in this One room is what will be happening here!

I just need to stick on a Bra 
(Which One would think after a few moments in this Az heat w/ no a/c in the truck 
Would melt one permanently to my skin)
And get out the Door!
I've got $6 in my Wallet, Let's see if I can find something!
Video Hummm,
Maybe We'll Just have to see!
I've got 30 Minutes until the store opens so I had better get a move on it!

I do wish my favorite trash heap 2nd hand store would relocate to somewhere
Out here in the east side of Mesa, instead of being located In the center of Mesa.

The city is installing the light rail on the road it's on and I can not for the life of me even think
to attempt to fight that construction OR try to pull into that small ass parking lot with my Truck!
Come on Favorite Thrift MOVE Closer to me!!
I'm going through Withdrawls!

Incense burners Done


Incense burners made of recycled wine bottles






























A Year ago in 2013, I Found myself VENTING IN THE HEAT of What is Considered the AZ Valley Sand Box


Here It is, 15 minutes until 7pm, it's only 107 Outside Not to bad. I am Not in the heat, oh no, I find myself sitting on my bed Looking at about 30 pairs of what use to be, or could of still been JEANS I COULD HAVE WORN but, instead my daughter made all the jeans into shorts AGAIN!
So It is August 10th, we have another good month of wretched swelter
I can NOT wear these Shorts, I'm almost 40 and my ass has already met my knees and my back literally gave up that little sexy ARCH look years ago!
So now, as everyone is off playing with Daddy, I once again find myself Measuring, washing, photographing and listing all of these Previously Known as HAD TO HAVE SKINNY JEANS!!!
I am SOO Calling the BULLSHIT card on this one!
UGH!
If you ever come to my house and it is picked up, Please realize, it takes me 6 hours everyday JUST to get that far. Saturday and Sundays? Days Off YOU ARE KIDDING ME RIGHT!
I think I'm done venting about little things, Thank you for listening!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Signed
FRUSTRATIONS

You can find those and Many more shorts Online Now on my Ebay selling page.
I've sold apprx 20 Pairs in 2014

Meanwhile On the Home front,,, It's a Scorcher!


Today is not going to be an outdoor friendly day
Now the evening on the other hand may be a more Gentler time to get out and enjoy Mesa, Az
Not a good month at all to visit arizona!
Today we went Antique shopping for the booth
Found some great bookends, which I tend to fall for everytime.

As they ate, I got to stand in line,
I was not a happy camper considering I had just spent 30minutes Looking for them
I had told my husband to go get an associate to get out the items he wanted and to hold them at the front
That way by time I am done looking for the other bookend, he would already have his items and not have to spend another 30 mins waiting for one.

Instead of doing what I asked him to do,
He and our daughter went to eat at the indoor bistro
as I spent another 30 searching for them by where I had asked them to be at.
So then another 30 mins pass after I had found them
That we had to wait for an associate to get out his 2 items
And another 30 waiting in line
NEEDLESS TO SAY
I did not enjoy having to be waiting on those to for over an hour when Everything
Could have been done in over with in 15 minutes
And we could have all had lunch together..

I did Breathe
But I am now taking hormone replacers because my Thyroid is gone!
No more hormones for me
So I'm Trying so hard NOT to swing with these New raging hormones battling it out inside of me!
I realize the damage both inside and outside that rage will do to a person and a family.
So I did NOT blow my top
But I did let him know, by NOT following directions,,
He has wasted over 2 hours of my time and I could have had a lovely lunch with them.
Thanks for the consideration FU**ER!
But the results are my own fault for even thinking I would not have to do everything myself anyhow
I EXPECTED something out of someone else.
SO...
Now I think I'll go bawl out the poor me's Into my Pillows!
Then eat some ice cream to cool down
And Maybe even later,,
Maybe I'll Train a reindeer to fly...
Stupid Hormones!



Back To Blogging! Past the midway point of 2013

Okay Okay Yes it has Been months since my Last update!
Oh boy and what a roller coaster ride that has been!

Everything here is on the up&up
and all is well
No Worries

Other than my dog farting....

Goodwill Finds

Thrift Store Finds
Just a few of the latest things I've come across

Honestly $12.99 each at a thrift store
Heck I know Crafters who make this kind of stuff that WISH
Their items would sell for that much!
I'd expect from a thrift store to price these around 4.99 each
and the Maker of them to charge AT LEAST 12.99 Each
I find it Sad that Many of our handcrafted Items do not sell from our own websites
But will sell for our asking prices at a thrift store.
Thinking about dropping off a few of my incense bottles with THE LINK To my Bonanza booth on the bottom!
That way Goodwill can get my name out there!!!


Some random dolls, Waiting for an UP Do....
The pink lady on the end is already In the Bonanza booth
she's a music player and I've no idea what to do with her yet
I'm thinking maybe on a Lamp Front?
I Just do not know


This couch is waiting to come home with me
The picture was taken Friday and the couch is priced at $50
But so today is Saturday which is half off everything day so the couch will be
$25
I'm Sooo Hoping it will still be there when I do make it out the door today


Some cool set of chairs!
I think they were priced at around $8 each
But today will be $4
I hope Christina makes it there in time to get them!


Pink Rock Salt Lamp
I knew what it was,, It did not have a price on it
So I took it up front and asked them to price it for me.
The cashier was saying no one has any idea what this could be, and figured it may be some type of Lamp

Little did they Know,,, I Knew And I've wanted one forever!!!
But could never afford
SHAZZAM!!! $4.99
RETAIL $80-$120
I Finally Got my Lamp
Can't use it in the bedroom though, we tried
Suppose to create a soothing relaxing effect..
YEAH RIGHT
Worst night of Sleep EVER for both my hubby and me!
So Now it sits on my reading table
$4.99 ROCK ON!


Rows upon Rows Of lamps!
I could only back up so far,
but ROWS!!!


I came home with these 2 Beauties Which of course will go up for resale


More Rows of Picture frames
I'll get more pictures on today of the other stuff I've still
Got on my camera phone
OOO
Not to mention
My husband downloaded the google goggle app
To price things as we went
That app kept him busy playing as I finally got to browse without having to buy him a snickers!
