Overstock discount for you.

so i'm alive.

we made the move to a new city and i am in love.
anyone ever been to cashmere, wa?

well, you are missing out.

it's beautiful.

i couldn't be happier about living here.

right now, we are renting.

with each new house, comes a new layout and more or less space.
this one has some spaces that i would like to fill.

and it's all just talk.  it's not going to happen.

sadly, we are not millionaires and probably will never be.

but i can still dream :)

with Christmas right around the corner, it gives me more motivation to check things out.
and you guys are in luck.
Overstock is giving The Crafty Clique readers a 10% discount with your purchase!

and who isn't ever looking to get a new Digital Camera?

i really want one of these:

seriously, look at that kit...sigh....

Anyways, Overstock.com is a great website.  I've purchased many things from their website and I have never been disappointed.  Plus, it's only $2.95 for shipping ANYTHING.  That's what i'm talking about!

So who is ready to get 10% off Overstock products (excluding movies, books, and electronics)?
enter code: 121745
i should mention that this discount code never expires, however, it can only be used once per email address.
Another goodie code?

202234 gives you free shipping for electronics.

and i might be changing things up as far as the thursday linky party...because...cough, I have no participants except one.  I think I need to change the name or idea or something....it's just in the works.
 

Otherwise, hope everyone is having a great break!
Merry Christmas!

Today, & this week, I am thankful that the time is now at hand! We pack up our trunk in 2 days and move to our new home! I am very excited for it to be here finally. My house is a chaotic mess right now but we are almost done packing everything and then we'll start cleaning...actually I should say that I am grateful for my husband who is cleaning the shower door right now! What a trooper!

I am also thankful for friends that I have met during this short time here here in the Tri-Cities. What a wonderful group of ladies! I will miss them! But luckily I will be only 2 hours away!

So this week, what are you thankful for?
Show me!

Today, I am thankful for my...birthday!
It's my birthday today, cool huh?!

I am a big fat 27 year old now. This is the first time that an age has made me feel old.
I definitely don't feel 27. I still feel like I just graduated high school!

Does anyone else feel that way too?!

So I am thankful that, with each year, I learn new things.
My life is not perfect.  I face problems.
And from these problems, I learn.
I keep growing through trials.

Through time and experience, I gain knowledge that I would have otherwise not have!
I hope I can continue to do this, each year, grow older and WISER, right?

So this week, what are you thankful for?
Show me!

thrift store finds.

A few days ago, I went to the St. Vincent Store to look for some boots for my 2nd little child.

Although my attempts in finding boots were amiss, I did discover some wonderful items!

First this rug!  Look how cute!  I instantly fell in love with the colors.  It was only $19.  Not bad for a 4x6 rug, which will be perfect in our new living room that'll we will be living in in just 2 short weeks!

 Next is this bad boy.  This wonderful trunk!
I have been looking for a large LARGE trunk to store blankets or whatever in it for the living room. 

I am not liking throwing my blankets in a big purple bin people!
And I've spied this baby for months now...just sitting pretty waiting...waiting...waiting...

for me to snatch it!
It was only $49.  Which seriously, if you look at prices for trunks these days, like huge trunks like this with character, they are well over $100 or $200.
So to find this for this price, I was uber excited. 

This too will look fabulous in my living room, maybe front and center or in the corner :)

Anyone else love finding deals as much as me?
Oh and i hit a local gently used children's store called Children's Attic today.  They were having a 50% off clothes sale and 20% off everything else off!  I mean, their prices are low to begin with.  So I got boots, 4 pairs of pajamas, 2 shirts, and a sweater for $28.
That's awesome.

Where do you like to go for good deals?

Demo Night

I just got this stack of Pallets today, courtesy of Lee Ann and Jenn. I had to stay home while they got to battle the cold and roads. When Lee Ann pulled up in my driveway, I was beyond excited.

I just couldn't believe that my dream was becoming a reality.

Call me a dork or whatever you want, but I have been wanting, for ever, to just teach and build things with other ladies. And when I saw this post on some 5-min. shelves, it was a step closer to making that dream a reality.

So a few weeks before we move away, I am hosting a Demo Night.

A group of gals will be over next week, Dec. 9th, to build adorable shelves with me.

I kind of just did it, just started looking for a bunch of pallets to work with. People are always giving pallets away for free so i started looking and posting. Jenn wrote me back, telling me her FIL had a big stack, I would just need a trunk to take them. Cue Lee Ann! She had the truck! Both were so willing to help me out. So with a week to go, I am so excited to get everything ready, make a Show-Off shelf and just have a good time with friends.

I'm starting to get sad again.

With every move, I get sad because I realize that a part of me has grown attached to this place,

to these people.

As hard as i tried not to, it just happened.

Everyone here is just amazing.

So I'm glad that i'll have one last HOORAH! before I move!

Plus, Dec. 9th is my birthday.

And this is exactly how I want to celebrate it!

Creating, Socializing, Teaching, & Loving it!

This week, I am thankful for new housing opportunities we found! We'll be moving in just a few weeks to a small town in WA. Rentals are really rare. I posted on CL asking if anyone has a 3+ home they were going to rent out because we needed the space! And a few days ago, I received an email from someone with a 4 bedroom home! It was nothing short of a miracle. And with that, I am thankful for my Heavenly Father who watches over my little family, who knows what we need. He is very aware of us and I know that He loves my family and I.
