Table Update

May 21, 2010 by Aliesha

Tad’s table is coming along beautifully! He has filled in all the holes with wood filler and has been diligently sanding it to give it a perfectly smooth finish. I’m sorry for the messy room in the picture!
The final things remaining:
– give it one more good sanding
– wipe down with damp cloth
– spread out drop cloth on dining room floor
– move table into dining room
– paint first coat
– sand with fine steel wool
– paint second coat
– sand with fine steel wool
– paint third coat

We’re so pleased with how it has turned out so far! Looking forward to getting it painted and being able to start enjoying it! So proud of my hard-working husband.

Flower Headband

May 20, 2010 by Aliesha

Flower headbands are all the rage now for everyone from little girls to grown women! They are all over etsy and tutorials abound in the blogosphere. I won’t bore you with a tutorial, since you can find them very easily, but I will show a few pictures of the headband I made! The headband was in a 3-pack from the Dollar Tree, and the flower was from a “bush” of flowers (about 7 or so on the bush) also from the Dollar Tree. So, for $2 I can make at least 3 headbands, plus have more flowers for future projects!

Dollar Tree Bargains

May 20, 2010 by Aliesha

Thought I would share a few of my Dollar Tree finds this week! Most of it is normal, everyday stuff, but we enjoyed the great deals!

– two boxes of all-occasion cards (birthday, thank you, thinking of you, blank) with 10 cards each (just $.10 a card!)
– bamboo stakes for the peas in my garden
– travel set (four empty containers and a loofah) for my husband to use when we travel
– shampoo and body wash for my husband
– zip top bags in gallon, quart, and sandwich sizes
– Father’s Day cards ($.50 each)
– 30 sheets of brightly colored tissue paper (I like to keep gift-wrapping supplies on hand…more about that here)
– shoe-shining kit so I can shine my husband’s church shoes
– a blue and white ringer tee for my husband (had a tag on it from another store that said $10)
– supplies to make a floral headband… pics of the project here
– a great tote bag (I’m going to use it for library books!)What have you found for just $1 recently?
