Good Morning!
Got thread?
Joann Fabric's was having a sale. I stocked up.
I have so many projects going on. I needed some new colors.
Bunnies, chicks,hearts and apples oh my!
Stop back tomorrow to see my baskets of wool .
A little bit of this and that.

These are a few Thiftin Treasures I found last week.
The plates cost me .59 each and the
hand painted tray .99 cents.
The plates are stamped USA too.
I spent alittle over 6.00 for some new treasures.

Oh what a good Thriftin Day!
I just love how this looks tucked in behind my cook top.

I've gained some weight during the holidays.
Big surprise since my meal plan included cookies,pie and cake.

Not a good thing.
Knee pain. Ugh!
But now its time to act like a big girl and get rid of it.
Sooo. This Granny Girl is off the sugar. Today is only day two.
And I sure want a cookie...But
No sugar until February 10th.
I CAN DO IT!
I guess I will need to start dancing with the chickens and not just singing.
I've got the JOY JOY down in my heart.
Even without a cookie.
I think I will try and stitch instead.

Kicking the sugar habit is difficult but it CAN be done. Take it from me ... I was born a sugar junkie & if I can stop eating it then so can you : ) Great thrift finds! I think it would be fun going through your house & seeing all your old treasures : ) Blessings, Shirlee
ReplyDeleteGood girl - good luck with the sugar free diet.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Kaye xoxox

Girl~ I would surely binge if I tried that.You'd see me in big pile covered in chocolate.I actually lost a few pounds with the tummy bug during the holidays but still need to lose so trying to excercise a little more.My Grandma always says I don't understand how you can have extra weight you go more than anyone I know and chase after the kids like you are one.Warm Blessings!~Amy
ReplyDeleteGood morning Trace. Love the plates, very nice. Red and blue are my favorite colors. I love dishes and metal trays and I have a tray just like that one.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you have to cut down on the sweets.
We have had our share of sweets at work during the holidays. Can't stay away from the peanut butter fudge. Yummo! Can't wait to see your fabric stash.
Enjoy your day
