Time To Show Off My Valentine Tin From Karla

Well...It is time to show off!

Last month Wendy at Bliss Angels was so

sweet and kind and hosted another tin swap.

The theme of course is

!! Valentines !!

My swap partner this time

was Karla Jackson

http://sketchbookmailartclub.blogspot.com/

She sent me a sweet tin

full of goodies

and a second mini tin too!

I have to tell you...The chocolates

did not last long....

It was one of those days.

Ooooo lovely tins and Chocolate!!

Can life get much better.

Yep...

Cause She also sent me some

fun clip art

And a beautiful hand made card

The tiny book gave me

an idea..and this year I am going

to write my husband a love letter

I may even use Karla's card.

Thank you Karla..This was a really fun

swap!!

Now..

I would like to share with you

what I sent Karla.

I tried something new this time

Beeswax

Oh my gosh I love it!!

So there they are...

I really enjoyed it once again

The challenge of getting a project done

on time...stretching to learn something

new..making new friends.

It was great.

Look What I Found Today At A Garage Sale An Antique Chamber Pot

Today was yard work day at my

parents house

My son usually mows their lawn and I do some

weeding or what ever else they need done

Today on our way there

I saw the sign...Garage Sale and the address

I know Eugene pretty well...and A sale in this

neighborhood is rare.

So..Told Jordan

Oh It's good you brought your DS and a book

you will have something to do for a few min.

while I scoot into this sale.

Laughing so hard because you should of seen his face

"Not again Mom"

Giggle

So up the hill I went to the sale...around the bend

Into the parking lot that was surrounded by woods

and ivy...Cool and Green

On the outside of the sale.

Artwork laid out on the driveway.

The prices looked pretty steep..but not that bad

Then I was told...everything was 70% off the marked

prices.

Really?

REALLY?

My first handful came to 5 dollars

my second handful another 6

then...the chamber pot

It was only 18 dollars...Take 70% off of that

and you know what I paid.

I was so excited!

I was so excited I just had to show my Mom

And nothing prepared me for

how excited she was.

Little did I know that in all the years

she had been collecting

This was one of the items she had been questing for

She has a beautiful ca mode (did I spell that right?)

and always wanted the chamber pot to go with it.

Now she does.

This beautiful piece is now sitting in her living room

(now quit laughing)

There was no room for it in my house..and she loves it so much

Mom can not get out much

and no garage sales or estate sales for her anymore

it was wonderful to trip on this

and find out how much she had been wanting one.

Tomorrow I am going to surprise her with

something more.

On the way home from their house

I went by again...just hoping I had missed

more pieces to the set.

I had.

I found three more.

I can't wait to see her face.
