Toddler Cam

What happen's when you give a toddler your camera?

Hi Grandma, can I take a picture with your camera?  Sure Tiger!

Showing him how....he was holding the camera

(as you can tell these were taken before Christmas)

Surprise, I didn't know he took this one!

Now I see him!

Apparently I was his favorite subject! 

Toys

random bedroom shot

He was taking an 'X-Ray' of my hand...

he still had the cast on his broken arm and was playing Dr

You are all better Grandma

I must have learned my photo skills from Tiger!

Thrifty Things Friday #142

Welcome to this weeks 

Thrifty Things Friday

This week I'm sharing some of my after Christmas/Winter decor!

A mish mash of snowmen, cardinals and red & white!

I love these garden boots, bought after Christmas sale from Target!

You saw my little girl bought last week, 

but I found a couple of new things at the thrift to add to the bookcases!

This little candle holder, made from a finial and a candle cup is just so cute and only .50

This adorable top hat with poinsettia's and a cardinal was $2 and I love it! 

A great addition to my cardinal collection.

This adorable salt & pepper shaker set is a Christmas gift from my daughter Sara and fits in with my winter cardinal theme perfectly!

The winter look

Until February when I'll bring out the 

Hearts! 

Thanks for joining Diann and I each week

Krispy Kreme

Have you ever had a Krispy Kreme doughnut?

They are yummy! 

Have you ever been to a Krispy Kreme store?

I have!!

Back before Christmas I had dinner with Sara, Blake and Tiger.  After dinner Blake loaded us in the car and said we were going for a treat!

Hot Krispy Kreme doughnuts!

When the light is on that says HOT they are making doughnuts!

You can follow along as 'your' doughnut is made

From the fryer, flipped once

Through the waterfall of icing

To the box of doughnuts we bought! 

The plain iced one's were all hot off the conveyor belt!  

Tiger picked a chocolate iced doughnut and we all had milk

Only Tiger got the hat!

and a chocolate mustache!

It was so much fun to watch them 'make the doughnuts'.  Besides the glazed doughnuts they have many other kinds (as you saw in our dozen) all good!! 

It was so much fun and a real treat! 

So if you see a Krispy Kreme and the HOT light is on, 

stop on in for a melt in your mouth delight! 

(no one paid me for this post, all opinions are my own)

 photos are from my cell phone but you can see the fun we had!

Thrifty Things Friday #141

Diann and I are so happy to have you join us for Thrifty Things Friday~2014 

Can you believe it is our first party of the year?

If you are like me you haven't done a lot of thrifting, but I must say there were many bargains to be found at the after Christmas sales.

I had a return to Marshall's today and so of course had to cruise the last of the markdowns

I REALLY did not need anything else for Christmas decorations, but these two items just called my name!

This adorable Vera kitchen towel was marked 1/2 price and I had to have it!

I splurged on this little girl.  I saw her before Christmas and fell in love, but her price tag stopped me.  Today she was 1/2 price and it was still a lot for me, but I love her and so I brought her home. 

All in all I spent less then the amount of my return so it was a win-win to me!  

So join us for 

and share with us your thrifty post!

Wishing you JOY,

Junkin Awards 2013

What better way to start the new year then to look back and give my annual Junkin Awards!

This was a year of more re-thrifting then buying, but of course,

 I did get some great finds this year!

I usually start with my favorite Pyrex find, but I did not buy any Pyrex this year.  I already have so much and so nothing just grabbed me this year! 

Favorite Find in White

This wonderful little table was bought at the WLYS from my friends Kathy & Jeff

It is one of my bedside tables and I love it!

Favorite Find in Red

I've been collecting these small pieces of pottery in this amazing red glaze and this year added this adorable ball mini pitcher

Favorite Find in Blue

This $1 find made me so happy!  I love this color of Blue and I have a few of these jars but this one is a new size and it has the lid!!

Favorite Find in Green

This green pottery 'elf' shoe was such a fun find and for $1 just made me so happy!  I added my own little kneehugger elf at Christmas and it was just perfect!

Favorite Find in Pink

Usually a hard category to choose just one for, but this year these Hazel Atlas bowls were hands down winners.  I use them and love them so much!

Favorite WLYS find

My friend Kathy made this pillow to sell in her booth at the WLYS,

 but once I saw it, it was mine!

Favorite Christmas Find

Love these little Scottie mugs and used them all through December!

Favorite Find for Tiger

Made a great score on some clothes and

  books were my best finds for Tiger this year!

Favorite Find in Plates

Found all these plates and they were 1/2 price! 

These Poppy Metlock dishes were my fall plates this year!

Favorite Find in Paris

A new 'category' this year and probably the only time I can really say, I found this at a flea market in Paris...this Quimper Bowl is a wonderful memento of my great trip to Paris in Sept.

So those are my favorite junkin finds in 2013!

I can't wait to see what 2014 brings! 

Thanks to all of you who follow me and junk along with me!  

Wishing you all a very 

Happy New Year!
