I have been so busy lately.  Summer is getting close to an end & the holiday season will be here before you know it.  Most of this Summer has been spent working on my very long to-do list.  (Most of those projects are home decor/repair projects)  Finishing projects that have been on my to-do list is exhausting but so fulfilling.  A few of those projects started with a trip to the Goodwill & Michaels Arts & Crafts.  Many of the projects that you will see in the upcoming weeks will include what I found at these two stores.

The trip to Goodwill netted a beautiful wicker doll bassinet from the 1980’s.  It’s 7″ high by 7 1/2″ long & after I alter it, I think it would make a lovely centerpiece.

Off to Michaels with gift cards & coupons!  The first thing that I found were some rolls of neon colored ribbon.  They were on a clearance & I just couldn’t resist.

I was out of Water Jewels, and Michaels had a small sized package that was perfect for what I needed. (love these things)

I can never pass up a package of aurora borealis gems…

While I was wondering around Michaels, I found a sheet of plastic mirror!  This can be cut to any shape you need.  Boy oh boy, did this give me some ideas.

Then I stumbled onto the Duck Tape section.  Being easily distracted by shiny things, this caught my eye.  It’s a roll of Duck Tape adhesive gems!  I’m going to have a lot of fun with this!

I found these crystal drawer pulls in the $1.50 bins.  They are already designated for two very special projects for the home.

And last but certainly not least, the reason that I went to Michaels in the first place… a new heat gun.  I’ve needed a new one for months!  The best part was that it was on sale & I had a 50% off coupon.

That’s my Goodwill & Michaels Shopping Haul!  I hope you enjoyed it.

Happy Creating everyone!
