DI/Garage Sale/ Creative goodness!

Most of you all know how I love to shop at DI and yard sales. I usually walk away with some sweet stuff, that others might think look like junk, but I usually make it my own. I also have a bad habit of telling others how much I paid for my goods. It is just a thrill to spend a dollar on something and then spend another dollar on paint to fix it up plus maybe a half hour than walla! Much better than spending hundreds at Tai Pan for the same thing.
Above is some super cute jars I got at DI and put some yummies in. They were 75 cents each.
Spice rack. DI $1.
DI Wooden thingy $3, made into a diaper caddy. Our house has 3 levels and we need diapers on all 3, so before they were just all over. My friend Katie spotted this one.
Yard Sale $3, this is actually a bread pan, but I made it into another diaper caddy with a bow.
This mirror is hard to see the detail but it is so pretty. DI $3, I painted it an antique white.
DI 75 cents. I spray painted the lid black (it was orange), my friend Katie (and my DI buddy) found this one for me. I needed a cute jar for my button collection. These buttons started out as my Grandma's Grandma's. I love them, I used to play with them as a kid and now Linus does!
More cute jars, DI 75 cents!
DI self $1.50 BEFORE.

I have much more to come so I will take photos when they are all done and post them! Thanks to my friend Katie for giving my some new insights!

What we have been up to...

Hello hello! Sorry I have really been lacking on the blogging. Since I can't post all my back posts here are a bunch of random photos of what we have been up too.

Memorial Day, at grandpa Paul's grave.
Our good friend's we have made from around the corner have a cutie Linus' age. They were over at our house and Linus and Lila disappeared and we found them up on our bed and Linus has turned the TV on.
Linus loves watching cartoons with "Ja ja" and "Pa pa" on Pa pa's bed.
Linus and cousin Diana.
Sweetheart Roman, he is 4 and a half months old now and keeps me very busy. This is why I have not updated in forever.
Linus loves reading to Roman and Roman just laughs.
Linus, Lila, and Sophie playing in the pool.
Lila, Linus, and Sophie playing at Sophie's house.
Thanksgivingpoint farms.
Feeding the goats, Linus would only put my hand up to the goat but not his.
He loved the ducks.
Roman at his 4 month apt. Linus started to cry when he knew Roman was going to get shots, so we had Linus hold Roman's hand. He was so sweet with him and kept asking him if he was OK. Linus loves his brother.
Linus and Elijah playing at grandma's.
Linus and Roman in matching jammies.
Linus and Dad planting the garden. Linus is super excited watching the garden grow and can't wait for the pumpkins!
