It’s Met Monday & Thrifty Treasures time.. What a great way to kick off the week .. and my return back to blogland. For those that missed me.. Thank YOU Thank YOU Thank YOU for the emails and messages. I have been one sick gal I tell ya… I started out with a simple lil ole sore throat that turned into Swine Flu.. then I ended up with Pneumonia. For 18 days straight I was like the walking dead… I thought for sure my time was up. Now all that’s left is a lil hacking cough.. but all is good.
I’m sharing a few things I picked up before all that sickness and a finished project I teased y’all with before going awol on ya.
On my last Met Monday post .. I shared with y’all this cookie jar. I had planned on sending this one off to Goodwill, but decided I’d try a lil chalkboard paint on it.
Taped off the area I didn’t want chalkboard paint on .. and viola .. Finished jar on the right. Also on the right is a candle stand that was being used to hold a birdcage and it suffered a crash on the fireplace..
With a little Gorilla Glue .. yeah that’s all I had in the house.. and a fresh coat of flat black .. it’s good as new again.
When I saw this next piece at Goodwill for $2.74 I knew it would be perfect to replace the clay candle stand as the birdcages new stand. Sprayed it black .. and of course I didn’t get a picture of it after I added the gloss black.. but trust me .. it’s darling. And that Rocking Horse in the background .. he’s in the middle of a morph .. so look for him in an upcoming post.
I found these small pumpkins and gourds at Dollar General for .99 a bag and the small pumpkins with the leaves and flowers for .99 ea.
Arranged them in the birdcage..
My Sweet Husband gathered up some of my fall stuff from outta the garage.. that basket has been Morphed so many times.. I can’t even count.
Finished basket..
I love this little scarecrow pumpkin .. He lights up!
Isn’t he just the cutest.. So Fall!
I didn’t have enough to do the front and back of the basket the same .. so I started adding these jack-o-lanterns.. which will be perfect for Halloween .. all I have to do is just turn the basket around.
Next .. time to toss out the daisies ..
Ahhhh Welcome Fall!

Sorry you have been sick...but so glad to see you back. Love all your morphs!! Your fall basket is way cute!
ReplyDeleteDEBBIE!!!!! I had NO IDEA you were sick and HOW sick! OH MY WORD!! We had the swine flu here, too, but it only lasted two weeks. No pneumonia. I just figured you took a break! I missed you and I'm so glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing is that bird cage. That is SO different and I LOVE IT!! But of course, it's all good. Oh, welcome back, dear friend!
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteLove all your projects...you are so creative! I am glad you are feeling better!
CUTE floral arrangement!!!
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteIam sooooo very sorry to hear you have been soooooovery sick with that nasty swine flu.
i KNOW WITH THAT IT IS VERY SERIOUS...IT IS HERE IN oKLAHOMA ALSO.
I have thought so very much about you and the beautiful card you mailed to Amy. We are believing GOD for a miracle even as I watch her slip further and further from me...and since this has to be moderated you can just delete my comment but the card you made will be placed beside the guest book should a guest book be needed....it looked to me or i should say the minute i saw it, i wept privately as i knew that was just from GOD himself.
YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL TO ME EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NOT VISITED ALOT...YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SON IN HEAVEN AND IF THE LORD CALLS AMY HOME I HOPE YOUR SON WILL INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND I AM SURE HE WILL.
PLEASE help me understand even as much as I trust JESUS how I can go forward without Amy....to never talk to her again....i would always keep her phone charged so i could call and hear her voice.
I WILL BE FINE AND IN MY SPIRIT AMY SHALL LIVE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD.
I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE BETTER
EVERYTHING LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL AND FESTIVE....AMAZING JOB CONSIDERING HOW SICK YOU WERE
