My black Friday deal :

Yes..I got a Christmas Tree!  Our old one I got right after we got married at Big Lots for like 15 bucks..it worked for our apartment living but its time for an upgrade!  So I found this one on Home Depot for $49 from $149!!  Free shipping too so I don't even have to go to the store..score.  its prelit too..double score.

ps - Happy Belated Thanksgiving...now its time for the Christmas madness!  I really need to start shopping, usually I start early..this year I've just been too busy or too lazy to go out and shop.  I am planning on running out later today after the rush of crazies go home after being out since midnight and Jake leaves for work..time to write my list!!

It's pretty sad that I hang out with my Husband through a police scanner more than I actually get to SEE him...

This is my life

Poor Willy Bean is sleepin in Squibby's bed..guess we need to get him one for the Family Room too - maybe it'll keep him off our new sofas we are getting..hmm

the latest projects

The desk above is close to the desk Jake found at goodwill for...guess!?  $4.99!!!  I found this one online for over $500...huh?!  STEAL!  So we picked it up yesterday and I started priming it for a nice thick coat of black paint!  I also spent days giving some of my white furniture a new coat of paint and poly...so in between coats I online shopped...

found some pretty fabric :

And I found a new side table for the family room :

 

AND knobs and pulls..

I also online window shopped for stuff like a new sofa for our living room..tv hutch for our family room..curtains..blinds! AH!  There is so much stuff I need for this house..slowly it is all coming together..slowly..
