I was really looking for sporting equipment for my daughter who's starting to play select softball, but my son saw this shield he absolutely had to have. It was pretty bad looking, but for 7 cents I said sure. Once I got home I decided to give it a little re-do.<br />

I loved the end result. Kept it pretty simple. Didn't want to spend a lot of money and time on something he's probably only going to use once and get tired of. So I went looking around my craft room and found all the supplies I needed. Sanded it down, use craft acrylic paint (4 coats), cut all the shapes with cardstock using my Cameo, the dragon was a full piece that I cut in half so I can add his name in between. Lastly I deluded Elmer's glue with a little water as a sealer. Did two coats and let it dry overnight. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Then I remembered about a sword we had bought for him last year at the Renaissance festival. Decided to alter it as well. </div>

<br />
Today I have a card and a video to share. I made this card for my niece that's turning 7 soon. Last year I made her a card and the girl had blonde hair and she got insulted since she's got red hair. LOL! This year I made sure that I gave the girl on her card some fiery red hair.<br />

I did use Copics to color her in but I'm not an expert in Copic coloring so I didn't film that. I figured there are some real professionals out on YouTube land that will guide you better if you were looking to learn how to use them. I'm still a true beginner. The rest of the making of the card is on the video.</div>

<br />
1. Another one of Ikea's <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60239961/#/10031987">Trones</a> shoe storage boxes. I think I may end up hiding a shoe storage box outside for the kids play shoes. <br />
2. 2 more Disney VHS's for my collection<br />
3. The Vow book<br />
4. Forever 21 pencil skirt (the cutest)<br />
5. Moda gray wool coat <br />
6. Gas pump toy<br />
7. Small wooden shelf<br />
<br />
For everything I spent a little more than $12. My best finds were the coat which only cost me $4.50 and the wooden shelf for 52 cents. <br />

Yesterday I decided to venture out and try a few different thrift stores. There is a website pinned on Pinterest where you enter your zip code and they list the thrift stores around where you live. They showed me a few not to far from my house that I've never knew were there. I did find a few things at each but I don't think the new ones are going to be ones I visit often. Found the prices high and the sales not very good. <br />

I got a lot of different little bags of craft stuff, embroidery thread, googley eyes, Etc.. So I'm not going to list everything but I'll list my best finds.<br />
<br />
-long brown shelf $1.52. Ill be painting it a nice glossy white and hanging it in our master bath. The bathroom is so small with absolutely no storage. Ill be putting extra rolls of toilet paper, towels etc. <br />
- 13x19 20 count Epson glossy photo paper n$3. They had more so I'm hoping it'll be there on their sale day to save some $$. <br />
- 3 more Disney VHS's for my collection. 50 cents each. <br />
- Ikea <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60239961/#/10031987">Trones</a> shoe storage box $2.25. <br />
On the website it's showing it comes in a 3 pack. I only saw one but can't complain for the price.<br />
- a humongous oval embroidery hoop. 18x27 $1.50. Ill be making some sort of art for the walls. Not sure what but it was too cool to pass up. <br />
<br />
Spent a total of $28.42. <br />

I promised my husband I would not buy any more clothes and shoes when I go to the thrift store but it's really hard to do. I LOVE clothes and shoes. Like with a passion. Yesterday I was hoping that I could find some unique decorative pieces for the house, but I had no luck. I think I may go to the antique mall tomorrow and see what they have. I love it there, but the isles are narrow and there is just so much stuff my son can get into and cause trouble. LOL! I did pick up a few things. <br />

I'm so excited I can't barely stand it! I wanted something small to drive around town since both kids will be in school next year and I don't need to lug my gas guzzler to run errands. I knew I wanted a mini convertible, no questions. So we got to shopping. The first car sold the night before, the second car (the one I bought) was pretty good. Third car a newer model and they didn't even want to take $100 off. Fourth car, 2 hrs. away so misleading. The top didn't even snap into place, all scratched up and just not that good of a condition for what they're asking. Through the week we were looking online and there was really nothing in our price range with low miles. We decided to head back and look at the second car. Compared to what we've seen and researched it was just a no brainer. 2005 with only 16500 miles on it. Un real. They were even willing to negotiate the price and went down $1750 from the asking price. So I brought it home! It's an S with dual exhaust and manual. Love manual cars and I missed having it since getting the SUV. Of coarse this week it's supposed to rain. Figures. <br />

I did take a trip for me yesterday and made it thrifting. I ventured out to two new thrift stores, to me, and I think the venture was a success, mainly because both kids were with me and we came out with a lot of books they wanted. I normally don't buy too many books for them unless they're with me. Specially for my daughter. She reeds like a maniac and has an intensive book collection and I'm to the point that I don't know what she has a doesn't have. <br />

<br />
This blog technically was a craft blog, did very little of those, then it eventually turned into a thrift find blog, not my original intent, now I'm going to try a mix of both. <br />
<br />
For the first time in a very long time I have a craft to show! I made some gifts for my kids teachers for Easter. I also filmed it!! I'm trying out a new camera tripod. Hope the angle is better than what I've been using. I wanted something that had a wider angle so that I can capture two page layouts in full.<br />

I decided to take a few weeks off shopping and focus on the house and getting crafts done that I've either started or have been thinking of doing. I mean seriously I need more clothes and shoes like I need a hole in my head. LOL! I'm in the middle of making my kids teachers their spring gifts. Planning on filming one of them tonight. Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a new video and project to share.<br />

So cute! I wanted to whip up a little something to bring her. Being that it was her second daughter and she saved most of everything from the first one she really didn't need much. So I made her some embroidered burp clothes. I got inspiration from Pinterest, of coarse. <br />
<br />
To make these I went to my local Joanns and bought baby cloth diapers. You get 4 for $7 and they let you use coupons! They also had their Joanns brand flannel fabric on sale for 60% off. They had some really cute designs. I bought a yard of each design and was able to make 8 burp clothes with enough fabric left over to be able to make 2 more. <br />
<br />

<br />
My only tip aside from what you find online is to embroider on the right side of the burp cloth, the backside has the seam, first before the sewing. Other than that find the tutorial that best suits your level of sewing. They were quite easy to make but I wouldn't say quick. There is a lot of ironing aside from the embroidery which took some time.<br />

Went to my typical thrift stores and came out with a pretty pathetic haul. I just could not find anything that I liked and everything was fitting funny. Oh well. I think next week I'm going to venture out and go to some other ones and see what treasures I find.<br />

I just did a quick embroidery on some kitchen towels last night. Nothing fancy. I like using my machine atleast once a month to make sure all the parts are working correctly and catch any issues with the machine before the warranty is up. I decided that a little design would make these cheap towels seem a little fancier. Kept the designs small. I didn't want the design to over take the function. I still want to be able yo use the towels for their intended purpose. I used the stock designs of the machine of different kitchen motifs. <br />

Things are getting back in order around here after being out of the country last week. I gotta say. I missed Thrifting so much. So I made a run out on Monday. Got there a little later than I normally do. I was having a hard time getting my day started, but I made it out there and I got a few things.<br />

<br />
My Purchases:<br />
1. JCrew Yellow shirt: .07 cents<br />
2. Mossimo Brown Shirt/sweater: .22 cents<br />
3. Mossimo Silver Dress: $3.00<br />
4. Mossimo Purple Shirt/sweater: .52 cents<br />
5. Island Soul Bathing Suit Top: .52 cents<br />
6. Antonio Melani Brown Knee High Boots: $6.00<br />
7. Magimatic Old School Camera: .52 cents<br />
8. Hungry Hungry Hippo: .75 cents (I buy games at cheap prices to have spare parts for the games the kids already have. They are always mis placing or loosing pieces and this helps keep completed games for really cheap. I just have a storage box with pieces of the games they own and replace them as needed.<br />
9. Banana Republic Brown Leather Jacket: $17.50 (By far my most expensive piece. But the quality, cut and style is un real. Looked online saw their jackets going for over $300. The price could not be beat.)<br />
10. Forever 21 Herringbone Blazer: $3<br />
<br />
After taxes I paid: $34.11. Really good considering the leather jacket I got. Once it gets warm I'm going to try and take pics of outfits I've put together with my thrifty purchases and if I remember how much I paid for the pieces I'll put what my outfit cost as well. I wanted to do that today with the leather jacket and boots, they look un real together, but it's way to cold, cloudy and windy.<br />

Ill have pics later in the week. Right now we're trying to catch up on laundry and the house. Oh and also try to get over the sun burn. We're so itchy and peely. YUK! <br />

I'm an awful Stay at Home Mom. I hate house work. Like with a passion. I go through faces were I do something every day and the house looks fantastic for a little bit. Then I go through faces were I do nothing. The problem with that is that I have 2 kids, a hubs and 7 animals. Within a matter of hours my house can go from completely clean to a total mess and I have no idea how it happened. I'm having company over this weekend and I seriously need to get going. Instead what am I doing? Blogging, which I believe I'm worst at doing than actual house work, which is proving the fact of how much I actually hate housework. LOL! <br />
<br />
In other news I'm completely caught up on all my shows! Which is important. <br />

I cancelled all my scrapbook kit/stamp subscriptions. I had this really cute room. Now I have this un organized mess. The kits just sit there un touched and the stamps have never been inked. Quite honestly I was also spending a fortune and there are more important things in this world than paper and stamps and it's time to start saving for it. I also went through Facebook and un friended a whole bunch of people. If you truly were my "friend" then you should have my number and can reach me that way. I honestly feel so much better. So much lighter. Now I just need to get in that room as use my stash so I can start getting it back in order. <br />

I love thrifting. I find it very soothing to just walk around looking and exploring isles and isles of crap. LOL! It's a hit and miss. Some days I come out with some great finds and some days there is nothing there worth my time. <br />
<br />
Here are some tips of things that I've figured out through the years for if you've never been thrifting, it's been a while or went once and hated it.<br />
<br />
1. Thrift stores are not known to carry one of a kind items. It's not an Antique mall. There are times were people don't realize what they have, the employees don't know what they have and mark things down very cheaply only for it to be an expensive item in reality. Go expecting to find "yard sale" items. Some broken, some in need of some TLC and some in very good condition that makes you feel like you just hit the mother load.<br />
<br />
2. Got to the websites. Find out when their sales are. Goodwill normally runs a different kinds of sale every day. Go on the days that the sale will benefit you. Some store also offer coupons if you spend over a certain amount. Print them. They will not likely accept them over the mobile device.<br />
<br />
3. Get there early. My favorite store opens at 10 am so I have plenty of time to get there after I take my daughter to school, but if you can't get there when they open get there as early as you can. By mid day the best stuff will more likely be gone.<br />

4. When buying clothes and shoes, make you there is a dressing room. There is nothing worst than getting home after buying clothes in a store that doesn't have a dressing room and find out that most of it doesn't fit. Even if it was $1 it still is disappointing and will make you not want to do it again. Bring socks if you're wearing shoes without them to try shoes on. When getting home. Wash all clothes and spray the shoes with disinfectant.<br />
<br />
5. Wear comfortable shoes. The store may not look very big, but after looking at every item you pick up carefully to make sure it's in reasonable condition time will pass by quickly. Before you know it it's been two hours, your feet hurt and you're not going to feel like either finishing up the store or going to another one.<br />
<br />
6. Bring snacks for yourself and children. Same as number 4 if you're famished by the time you're done you're going to want to go home or stop by a fast food chain and spending more money than you were planning. For my son I normally pack a lunchbox with a lunchable, a few juice boxes, an apple and fish crackers. Things that are easy for him to eat while in a kart.<br />
<br />
7. Bring entertainment for the children. In this day and age there are so many things that will keep kids entertain. For me I just use my iphone. I've downloaded plenty of kid friendly apps so my son has plenty of options to keep him entertained.<br />
<br />
8. Bring hand sanitizer. I carry a small purse size bottle with me and clean my hands and the kids hands either after we're done shopping or before snacks are consumed. Your hands end up quite dirty.<br />
<br />
9. Most importantly have fun. Enjoy yourself. Laugh at the things people donate and laugh at the things the stores are willing to sell. <br />
<br />
Yesterday I went to my favorite store, every Mondays it's an extra 25% off and Goodwill, which is right next door. Goodwill had kids clothes for 99 cents. I came out finding some pretty good deals at both. Here is a pic and a list of what I got.<br />

Man did I come out with some great stuff. I hope they continue to do clearances like this. I love digging through stuff to find deals. I'm a huge thrifter and I feel like to find the best deals you have to dig though the bins nobody wants to go into. <br />

<br />
I had the big 3-0 yesterday. I gotta say it doesn't feel so bad. I thought I was going to have a big revelation or something but not really. I still feel like my old self. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I don't really act my age. I'm still a huge kid at heart and I seem to project that a lot in the way I act and my likes. <br />
<br />
I had a pretty good day. My husband took me to an Antique mall I've been wanting to go to for a while but was always afraid to do so with the baby since those places always seem to be cramped and I didn't know if I would be able to maneuver with a stroller. But it actually was pretty roomy and they had carts which made it so much easier. I didn't purchase anything but I did see a stainless steel Clarinet that I cried over but had to leave with the holidays being so close it was something that I just could not splurge on. I played clarinet all through middle school, high school and the two years I attended college. Everyday I ask myself why did I not keep with it since it was such a huge love of mine. I think I'm going to make it a goal now. Try and get back into it. <br />
<br />
On my way to the Antique mall, I received an email that my new Embroidery/Sewing/Quilting machine had arrived. I ordered it on black Friday from a local shop and I was not expecting it to come so fast. But it did and it's absolutely beautiful. I got the <a href="http://content.janome.com/index.cfm/Machines/Embroidery/MC11K_Special_Edition">Janome Memory Craft 11000 SE</a>. It's a wonderful machine. I've been playing with it since last night. The embroidery part is easy. The computer aspect of it is not. My husband figured it out for me and tried to teach me. I though I had it down but I got on it this morning and was not able to figure out 1/2 of what I wanted to do. I'm not very good with computers and technical stuff so I'm not surprised I'm having such a hard time with it. I named her Audrey. I'm planning on making some vinyl letters so I can decorate her with her name. LOL!<br />
<br />
In the afternoon My husband ordered pizza got me a cake/cupcake mix thing. He decorated it with 30 candles. It was pretty funny how much light it projected. He turned the lights off and the room lit up pretty good. The kids sung me happy birthday and they helped blow out the candles. Then I just went back into my craft room to figure the new machine out and played with it until I went to bed. All in all it was a pretty good chill day.<br />
