Cheap Scrap

I'm not really a scrapbooker...I'm WAY to cheap!! I do like to do a little craft craft every once in a while. I hate to pay a dollar for a piece of paper though. Welcome SEI outlet!! They have paper for 10 cents!! Hello friends 10 cents! It's worth a visit!!


Seeing red!!

Today I tired on the worlds cutest trench coat! DARLING! It was perfect is every way...but....I couldn't raise my arms. I was heart broken. Should I have just bought it and kept my arms down...or did I do the right thing buy walking away?

I cross my heart! Hope to die! Stick a needle in my eye!

Today I went and had Punctual Cauterization. Wikipedia says this:

[edit] Cauterization
If punctal plugs are effective, thermal[6] or electric[1] cauterization of puncti can be performed.
In thermal cauterization, a local anesthetic is used, and then a hot wire is applied.[6] This shrinks the drainage area tissues and causes scarring, which closes the tear duct.[6]

HOLY PAINFUL!! Ever had a needle stuck in your eye lid? Ever tried to keep your eye lid open while a needle is coming toward your eye? Ever tried to be nice to your doctor who looks like "The Bachelor" while a burning, stinging, melting sensation is happening in your eye hole? Ever had to pay a boat load for so much pain?? I did!! Holy Painful!!

Let's all take a moment and pray this helps!! More tomorrow folks! Happy Winter!

Cheap Glasses

I love a good deal!! No really! I REALLY love a good deal!! One night many moons ago I was surfing and read here about a deal just to good to be true!! Eye glasses for 8.00 (plus shipping)! I was aghast! After much thought I decided to give it a try. If worse came to worse I could eat 12 dollars!! The top pair was my "old" Eddie Bauer expensive glasses and the bottom ones are my new darling glasses!! A little tine up date is good!! Go here to check out the deals!! They also do SUN GLASSES!! Oh I need some sun glasses!! I am excited!! Go check em out and share in the cheapness glow!!



Shirt

I love V and Co.'s blog!! I loved these pillows she made. I need ANOTHER pillow like a whole in the head! So I did this!! It is FAR from perfect but it is a good start!! *** I added some black spray paint to help w/ the "fade" and making the contrast not so crazy!! I won't wear this to the prom and will use less contrast next time..but it looks good!

(Million) Dollar Section Anyone?

If there is a dollar section in ANY store...that is where I head first. I joked w/ a lady today that they should call it the "Million Dollar Section". It wouldn't be false advertising!!

Today when I popped in to Michael's I found these!!! No not a ring!! A super darling (dollar) drawer pulls!! These babies are beefy too!! They had a few flavors I came home w/ a few of these!!

File folders!! Hello cuteness!

And aren't these cards "Cute as a Button"!!! Hello and do you see an aqua theme? Me too!! Oh Aqua I love you!!


The sun refused to shine today..hidden behind a blanket of black gunk in the sky. Oh sun I miss you!! That is the reason the pictures are poor! I should make a photo light box!!

Flowers

Older people like fake flowers. I like to give people what they like! So I gave my sweet elderly friend a darling bunch of fake flower for Christmas. When I visited today she thanked me and she assured me she'd been watering them!!

Restore...

So I'm cheap!? So I like a good deal!? So I read lots of blogs of cheap people and I morn that I don't have a restore of my own...well that all changed 7 short weeks ago. Yesterday I visited for the first time.


The store is so new they don't have lots of stuff. Sighhh...but give it 6 or 8 months and I think this place will be hop'n!!!

I saw a box of these babies for 2 dollars each. They were beautiful!! You could do a bathroom back splash for under 20 bucks!! Or behind a stove so CHIC!!


Need extra chairs for your work room? 5 bucks! (They had nice office chairs too!)

I think these slabs came from the old Hotel Utah...they are beautiful! (they were not priced!!)


Fur Sur a must visit for a junker! (In 6-8 months)

HEAVEN

I went to Pottery Barn yesterday down at Trolly Square...THEY HAVE EXPANDED!! I think it's what heaven will be like...only less expensive!!
