Antique, Junque and a prayer request!

It sure has been a long time since I posted so I thought I would play catch up.

Well, kinda.
I have been busy making signs and I am loving it.

My youngest son keeps me supplied with pallets so I figure I better strike
while the iron's hot. lol. You never know when your source will "dry up".

The ones above are my latest signs. I was inspired by some signs that Knick of Time
showed awhile ago on facebook. 

I dug out some rusty, crusty hinges that I have had laying around and added them.

 Perfecto!

I have also been making a few of these signs. I have four made now, but need to get
a frame around each one. I LOVE this scripture verse. One of my very favorites!

JUNKIN" is always fun right?

...and who doesn't love to go exploring?? I know I do!
Especially in an old abandoned barn or house!

Mr. Wayside Treasure and myself went on a antiquing trip a couple weekends
ago and I found a couple things. This chair being one of them.
Isn't it SWEET??

I also found two of these doors that I intend to makeover with
PAINT.
Oh yes, I do!

I think the pickin's are slim anymore. Are you finding the same where you live?
I used to go antiquing on a weekly basis and pick up reasonably priced items
that I could make over and then make a profit, but not so much anymore.

I can't wait to hit the yard sales this year. Now let's see if I actually have that much
gumption when the time actually comes. lol!!


Before I say goodbye today could I please ask a favor of you??

My 25 year old niece is VERY sick. She was in the hospital a few weeks ago for a week
and got out for maybe two weeks. Then right back in again and has been in for two
weeks this time. She is not getting better. PLEASE pray that God will touch her and
heal her body. She is a beautiful young lady that loves the Lord and she is a joy
and a blessing to her family and we need her well!!

Thank you so much!!!

Love...

...signs are what I have been working on this past week or two because we all KNOW what the next holiday is right?
Yep...Valentines Day. Don't forget your sweetheart!! :)

 I am making them out of pallet wood. One of my very favorite woods right now to work with. You too? I know
 a lot of people are using it and the sky is the limit. I have seen it on walls and floors. I have seen signs, tables,
 candle holders and all kinds of things made from it.

 If you are lucky you can find pallets for free, but they aren't very expensive if you have to purchase them.
 My hubby was coming home from work one day and saw a couple pallets in the ditch that must have fallen
off a truck at some point so he stopped to get them for me. Sad day because he had to leave them there.
They wouldn't fit in his vehicle. I miss our truck!! :(

Signs, signs, everywhere signs...lol

 I have sold a few on Facebook and I have taken several up to a friends store where I sold my pallet trees this
 past Christmas season. If you are interested in one just give me a shout out! The wood they are painted
on is approx. 28 inches long.

I thought I would show you a peek in a corner of my dining room right now. The lighting is
 horrible this time of year so I didn't get many good pictures. See that lamp shade?
$5...a steal! I love it.

I also wanted to show you what my youngest son made me for part of my Christmas gift.
See the lanterns off to the left. I LOVE them!  Our family doesn't spend a lot of money for Christmas
 gifts and we LOVE home made gifts so we try to do something along that line.

He loves to work with his hands and said he would love to do this kind of work all the time.
I think he has a bit of his mama in him. SMILE

I hope this post finds you well and healthy. Praying that you will have a wonderful New Year.
Blessings~ 

The Faster I go ...the behinder I get ~

Ever had one of those days ?

Seems like today is a crazy one and I feel like this ~

I knew I had to head up to my booth today or it wouldn't happen

because the rest of the week is full. I wanted to get more things finished and tagged to take up

*that didn't happen*

I left the house and got a couple miles down the road

and remembered some essentials I had left at home

so back I went.

Then I got several miles down the road and remembered

other things I had left and needed.

So I had to stop at Walmart on the way...

not on my to do list today either!

I am also a bit concerned about my mom.

She has to have a procedure tomorrow and

I tried to call her a few times today and can't get her.

Doesn't she know that she is supposed to let me know

when she steps out for whaver reason...lol.

I need to stop, take a breath and remember this verse,

* Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind

is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.*

Isaiah 26:3

Please say a prayer for my mom.

Blessings~
