Tonight's Curb Side Treasures

So my DH and I were headed off to Jewel tonight to make some money on giftcards and we passed a coffee table on the side of the road. Surprisingly, DH turned around willingly and I hopped out of the car to check it out!
Decided against the coffee table...but next to it was a lovely little basket filled with hangers and a box full of picture frames! Now, I might be a garbage picker, but I'm kinda picky too so I started rummaging through the picture frames not wanting to grab the entire box! I found one picture frame that was still in the wrapper, so I grabbed that, along with the basket. (The basket had a lovely little Santa man candy bowl in it that I decided to leave behind. Who knows, maybe the garbage man will like it. haha)

 I'm actually pretty excited about the hangers too because I'm using some cheap wire ones right now because I have too many lots of favorite shirts! :)

Ah! What a perfect place for the basket!!! The blankets are excited to have a home. Good thing I have an adorable little end table painted so beautifully that compliments my new basket!

Well, that's all for tonight! I love finding curb surprises!

Clock: From Blah to BEAUTIFUL!!!

Here's a fun and easy project that I made a while back and wanted to share with you! I apologize for the lack of pictures, but I'll try to explain it as well as I can without them!
To begin with my clock looked something like this...

Blah and boring is right! Enter: scrapbook paper and Cricut machine....

I took the clock apart and removed the circle part that had all the numbers on it in order to trace and cut out my scrapbook paper. I decided to just cut out 12, 3, 6, and 9 - and used flowers for all the numbers in between! I wanted to make sure everything was in the right spot, so I used a push pin to push holes through to the scrapbook paper (my new background) where each number was located on the original clock background.

So, I put it back together, and TA-DA - a beautiful clock for practically NO ADDITIONAL COST! :)

Sorry about the flash, but what do you think? :) Partying HERE!
