It's That Day of the Week Again!
Yup, it's that time again! Check out all the cool DIY stuff over @ Kimba's. There's always lots to see and become inspired by each and every week :) (Thanks for hosting, Kimba!) First off, check out this cute little table I rescued from the curb and painted/decoupaged. I love the curvy lines of it, don't you? I don't have a before photo but picture peeling wood, nasty, gross! One day last fall a friend came over and saw it for the first time and actually offered to pay me for it...but I just couldn't part with it! (That lamp/shade were very cheap Goodwill buys.) Oh my, would ya take a look at these beauties? Um yeah, not sure they can get ANY uglier! The chair was another Goodwill find for about 5 bucks. The ottoman was another curbside rescue. A little fabric... A bit of trim, ribbon, a trusty hot glue gun... And a lot of imagination...NOW they're pieces I don't mind having in my home!
Thanks for looking! Hurry, go get inspired by all the neat things in Blogland!
You are SO creative!!! I love that you "live out loud"....thanks for coming by my blog today and leaving a sweet comment. I just read down your blog and find you amazing!!! Have a delightful weekend!
O.K. the ruffly bit on the bottom of the chair is so darn cute! I love little touches like that! You did such a good job with that chair and ottoman! The table is cute too!
I'm carving out some time to work on reupholstering an antique settee I found at goodwill last month and this might just have put me over the edge into some inspiration again! It rocks!!
Hi Michelle, I love what you've done. You are gifted! I'm sorry for the losses you've had recently. I'll pray for the 12 yr. old's family and for the family of the dear woman who passed away from breast cancer. I've not been blogging much, but hope to get back in soon. Hugs, Kathi
From now on, I am going to grab the good times with both arms. I am going to walk outside and feel the sun on my face and learn to laugh, really laugh again. Most of all, I'm going to take the love that comes my way and hold on to it for dear life. Sometimes we don't need new scenery, just new eyes. ~Dawn Miller

"Measuring A Life"
My deeds will be measured not by my youthful appearance... but by the concern lines on my forehead...
The laugh lines around my mouth...
and the chins from seeing what can be done
for those smaller than me or who have fallen.

I Am A Pink Warrior!
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in July 2008. Since that time I've had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemo, radiation and several other surgeries. Fast forward a year...it's now July 2009 and I'm all done with treatment. My hair has grown back, I'm feeling great! GOD is good and life is good! I've gotten loads of support from family and friends. I'm living a "NEW NORMAL" these days and just very thankful to be here!!! Always keep a positive attitude and don't pass up an opportunity to show love and kindness to others. Don't live your life with regrets and enjoy each day!

Hello there ~ welcome to my blog! My name is Michelle. I've been married to a great guy for 20 years and we've been very blessed with 3 cool kids - a boy & 2 girls. My family means everything to me and I try to make our home a wonderful place to be. I LOVE to decorate and work on "trash to treasure" projects ~ that's what I can be found doing most of the time (um, sometimes other than what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing...like laundry, for instance! LOL) I think laughter is a vital part of life so I always try to choose to look at the humorous side of things...if life throws lemons your way, why not make lemonade, right?!
