<div align="center">
That’s my word for the year….</div>
<div align="center">
Possibilities</div>
<div align="center">
As in “there are so many “ or “ the possibilities are endless “ or “ imagine the “.</div>
<div align="center">
Last year in January we started our first flea-market booth at Lovejoy’s , then in November we started our craft booth at Down Home Creations , and we have done okay . We are not getting rich but we are not in the hole .</div>
<div align="center">
So this year we are going to work toward making these booths be a destination for our customers with lots of really cool “must have “ stuff in them.</div>
<div align="center">
So….</div>
<div align="center">
Just imagine the POSSIBILITIES !</div>

<div align="center">
I put up my tree the day after Thanksgiving . I am only using the small 4 ft. one again this year. It’s not that I don’t like putting up decorations , it’s taking them down that I don’t like. So far that’s the reason I didn’t go all out in my living room this year . But here is a look at my cottage Christmas decor this year…</div>

This cool weather makes me want to light the fireplace and and snuggle up with a good book . Maybe a cup of hot cocoa along side .</div>
<div align="center">
I love fall ! It is so pretty here in the Ozarks this time of year . This peak color only lasts for a short time so I need to enjoy it .</div>
<div align="center">
I hope you are enjoying fall where you are !</div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Gosh ! It’s been a while since I last posted !</div>
<div align="center">
I have been busy making things for our craft shows this year . As usual I waited till the last minute to get anything done , so I have been working non-stop to catch up .</div>
<div align="center">
We are only doing two shows this year , the first of which is this Friday , Saturday , and Sunday in Harrison , Arkansas. Tomorrow evening is setup time .</div>
<div align="center">
So I thought I would show you some of the things I have been working on .</div>
<div align="center">
A couple examples of the caps I decorated …</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6h6k3f3pjK0/UkyzV171pQI/AAAAAAAAEW8/AZFseSIlOXY/s1600-h/004%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="004" border="0" height="363" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JhfqFGAGA-I/UkyzWyCyhgI/AAAAAAAAEXE/Wg_WHsMx_pc/004_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="004" width="644" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Some of the furniture I refinished , some chalkboards ,and some pumpkin paintings , plus the burlap pillows in the background . </div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-w3mar21vWwI/UkyzYw-D0sI/AAAAAAAAEXM/eBUXdt6Pujc/s1600-h/010%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="010" border="0" height="363" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-lxpne6dODmU/UkyzaOPYdVI/AAAAAAAAEXU/NAtB6DRWcK0/010_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="010" width="644" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I took some time to make a rag garland and a new sign to make our booth pretty .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-uT9It3r4TGs/UkyzcD6rhaI/AAAAAAAAEXc/2l765_FN9Co/s1600-h/012%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="012" border="0" height="363" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-g1QJ3wSM3Fg/UkyzdSZ5goI/AAAAAAAAEXk/Yn5kANyUEbQ/012_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="012" width="644" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
I also made a bunch of flea-market pocket bags ,decorated some canning jars for pretty vases , and painted and added Halloween labels to a bunch of odd jars and bottles , They turned out really cute but I neglected to take pictures of the a-fore mentioned items , so if you are in the area come on down to the square in Harrison and see them .</div>
<div align="center">
Wait till you see the cute Halloween dolls and decorations that Pam has made . And Billie has been quilting like crazy to have some things too.</div>
<div align="center">
Hope to see you there !</div>

<div align="center">
I have been working on two projects that I am excited about . This is a birdcage I found at a garage sale , I painted it then waited weeks while I searched for a hanging light that I could take apart for the electrical parts. The Hanging light kits at Home Depot were $15.00 and I did not want to spend that much , because I would have to charge to much for the light .</div>

<div align="center">
The last couple of weekends have been spent searching for garage sale treasures to makeover for our booth at Lovejoy’s , and we have found a lot of stuff with lots of potential .</div>
<div align="center">
Most of it is sitting on my porch.</div>
<div align="center">
I am really excited about that little white cabinet and the wash stand with the harp towel holder .</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CT_uRN20fJ4/UciGJI2YwZI/AAAAAAAAEKA/mZL_imhg1eI/s1600-h/005%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="005" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-8563M8MGrPw/UciGKHwczDI/AAAAAAAAEKI/kG1CsS_AZZo/005_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="005" width="273" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
I found a pretty canister set , and a set of serving dishes that had never been out of the box . A tiny makeup case destined to be painted and decorated with lace . White dishes are always a good thing.</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VJ7v07Eh7a4/UciGL6eCspI/AAAAAAAAEKQ/0QX7rH2DFEk/s1600-h/009%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="009" border="0" height="139" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-G9XiFBSpWm0/UciGMaP0LGI/AAAAAAAAEKY/wVfDtzAgfqI/009_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="009" width="244" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
There are chairs and shutters in the garage , </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tYPa53MLR94/UciGOkfFXOI/AAAAAAAAEKg/Nb0zUkr9Awo/s1600-h/013%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="013" border="0" height="139" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nnDYu9I_C04/UciGPI2Qd6I/AAAAAAAAEKo/7OF7Hsfu7zI/013_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="013" width="244" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
And a TV cabinet I got for $10.00 . I only want to use the base , of coarse it will be painted .</div>
<div align="center">
Not sure if I will use the top for anything , it is so big and bulky , but the base is nice .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CkkmYO0ZpfA/UciGQqOCzNI/AAAAAAAAEKw/ptYwrOrihCc/s1600-h/015%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="015" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7wPeFBEvqsE/UciGRn15YwI/AAAAAAAAEK4/ww82fRSX5ak/015_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="015" width="358" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
I have started on the little kitchen chairs , there are 3 of them and I am painting each a different color . This one is a peachy color , it looks like a flesh color here . Doesn’t look as pretty in this picture as it is .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vOik7kqaZHo/UciGSwHILfI/AAAAAAAAELA/Q2lYppBgiXI/s1600-h/008%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="008" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-X4YLUOH4cks/UciGT3bmPQI/AAAAAAAAELI/pRi0mnPmeJ0/008_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="008" width="273" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="center">
A few weeks ago my dryer decided to go on the fritz , So after replacing several parts it still wouldn’t heat. Unfortunately it was connected to the washer , as in stacked unit .</div>
<div align="center">
Here you can see it from the back , it use to sit beside that wall cabinet and there was a small sink in a cabinet below that .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-94h95dKrSB8/UYwEm0tgxxI/AAAAAAAAEEk/A5BDTgP6E3U/s1600-h/001%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="001" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-71Hq2CrQa2g/UYwEniQD7eI/AAAAAAAAEEs/DYr7LWaSqrI/001_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="001" width="244" /></a> </div>
<div align="center">
I decided not to get another stacked washer and dryer cause I didn’t like the idea of having to replace them both if only one was broke . So my son-in-law and I tore out that sink to make room for a normal washer and dryer .</div>
<div align="center">
Here is the space after cleaning and giving it a new coat of paint .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-UiWaqDbPmKM/UYwEppSo5xI/AAAAAAAAEE0/ZOQSTRLDxlo/s1600-h/002%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="002" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-liqGaA07z84/UYwEqemruWI/AAAAAAAAEE8/wnhgyFKFzkg/002_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="002" width="244" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
And this is what it looks like now !</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-e1g6iDnIDoc/UYwErm0Mi9I/AAAAAAAAEFE/dSUUaUCJgBI/s1600-h/014%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="014" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-K3nSMAqsIJQ/UYwEsUbDTeI/AAAAAAAAEFM/_FgAF0M3FC0/014_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="014" width="316" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
I also took out the cabinet I had on the wall to the right and brought in the little green vintage cabinet that I redid a few months ago . I can hide much more stuff in this cabinet and it looks a lot cuter . Plus it brings in that vintage look that I love .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ktVaukIiLgo/UYwEtpmVUhI/AAAAAAAAEFU/rIFPLcB1t3A/s1600-h/023%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="023" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hUqF55JAH_8/UYwEui6fdII/AAAAAAAAEFc/HCebgqYNmpk/023_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="023" width="273" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
On the opposite wall I used to have an open book case for storage , it always held junk like paint cans and such , it was always ugly . Now I have a bench with suitcases stacked on it . That feed sack hides the electrical panel .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-n0PG6b7CyXE/UYwEv60KQWI/AAAAAAAAEFk/14C-jnlPRSg/s1600-h/017%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="017" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xzC8dHkp2Jc/UYwEwqeVy8I/AAAAAAAAEFs/B_OdbcQy20o/017_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="017" width="273" /></a> </div>
<div align="center">
That door you see is my central vac. closet , and there is some storage in there . The back door is to the left of this bench .</div>
<div align="center">
On the right side of the washer and dryer is the door into my messy closet , it has another door that opens into my master bath that is on the backside of this laundry. It makes it convenient for putting away clean clothes .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/--XEMRaSNBLs/UYwEyXgyE-I/AAAAAAAAEF0/ERXfmZACq3E/s1600-h/018%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="018" border="0" height="139" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-DMAfoDY-Q50/UYwEzEGS1-I/AAAAAAAAEF8/wtKnRYB6rh8/018_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="018" width="244" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
But then there are two more doors in this laundry , one is into the furnace closet .It’s the one with the Ironing board on it .</div>
<div align="center">
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZcDB8EHxke0/UYwE0RcRBtI/AAAAAAAAEGE/-5sDiDHA_B8/s1600-h/019%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="019" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BTrLO3GA5AA/UYwE1AymIHI/AAAAAAAAEGM/kLIge6DjXdQ/019_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="019" width="273" /></a> </div>
<div align="center">
To the right of the mop and broom wall is the door into the kitchen . That’s right ,5 doors in one tiny room! That makes wall space really sparse . </div>
<div align="center">
I use to keep that kitchen door closed all the time , because the laundry always looked awful . but now I am liking it ,and it fits better with the rest of the house . I still have a few things I want to do in there , like get rid of that boarder around the top . I already have it down on the washer and dryer wall but still have to do the rest. But at least now I’m not ashamed to let people see my laundry room .</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
If some of you are wondering how the Weight Watchers is going , Since the end of Feb . I have lost almost 12 pounds . I am still working at it , I would like to loose about 25 pounds . I am learning to eat more healthy foods and watch my portions . I guess that's what it is all about .<br />

I was thinking maybe pink like the door , but I think the green will cover better with the lighter green . What do you think ?</div>

Then maybe I will paint the wooden glider pink…</div>

I’m still on the lookout for a couple more chairs like these , I have a set price that I won’t go over , and most places want an arm and a leg for them. I was glad I was able to talk the man down to my price on these .</div>

Isn’t it cute ?</div>
<div align="center">
But I can’t help thinking I could make good money on it since I got it for a really good price . So maybe I’ll keep it for awhile until I find something I like better , like a jelly cupboard , then I will give it up ... Maybe .<br />

A few months ago I found a Jenny Lind full headboard and footboard at a resale store near me for $15.00 .<br />
Here is a picture of the headboard and a piece of the footboard before.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-9_3p70x_dH0/URLRGE8-CXI/AAAAAAAAD5M/hXWC2mrj_Nk/s1600-h/044%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="044" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UKXOZ4Acq4k/URLRGncxWUI/AAAAAAAAD5U/m4G-JrLvXas/044_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="044" width="244" /></a><br />
It took me a lot of figuring to decide how to attach the pieces I cut to make arms on my bench. <br />
Needless to say I spent a lot of time looking through pictures on Pinterest to finally decide what I was going to do .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Afkj9rtZksA/URLRKgSsL7I/AAAAAAAAD5c/p0ocuqis43g/s1600-h/007%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="007" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-2iaYFJKULpU/URLRLebdrHI/AAAAAAAAD5k/6ZfWaUB2A_Y/007_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="007" width="244" /></a><br />
I got to use several of my power tools on this one . I defiantly won’t pick this style of bed if I ever make another. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YLfb7ehDpGc/URLROnw3JzI/AAAAAAAAD5s/rVMmwjTJ8Pg/s1600-h/008%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="008" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ZyUC0ADvvlg/URLRPcwzzBI/AAAAAAAAD50/tg1uCezp6Zs/008_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="008" width="244" /></a><br />
This is the final project all painted .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-0ExqUryHvlw/URLRTFCrjnI/AAAAAAAAD58/RojEArL54Z8/s1600-h/009%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="009" border="0" height="187" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ie1Ni8l8HXA/URLRT2NAdmI/AAAAAAAAD6E/iLefS1lfsI8/009_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="009" width="244" /></a><br />
I distressed it a little and clear waxed it , then added a couple of pillows in pillow shams to make it more comfortable .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-UxXewczkiA0/URLRXMIWroI/AAAAAAAAD6M/MPkWSxxyYq8/s1600-h/011%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="011" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TmgSI6Z0g-U/URLRX9JkaDI/AAAAAAAAD6U/n94MAKO10AQ/011_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="011" width="244" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I took it down to our booth at Lovejoy’s.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3SaGjJshbGc/URLRbRz8zxI/AAAAAAAAD6c/aU-cVtFvDXI/s1600-h/013%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="013" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Zx08rUIbrJw/URLRcSr17UI/AAAAAAAAD6k/x2DTiUyd2RU/013_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="013" width="244" /></a><br />
<br />
We have the booth all decorated for Valentine's day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Z-2sWi05M2A/URLRgEQSKDI/AAAAAAAAD6s/EfCExf8pMH0/s1600-h/014%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="014" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JhLxOtXOHho/URLRhI5e0jI/AAAAAAAAD60/Z9vGTsp0CYw/014_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="014" width="244" /></a><br />
I sold my tutu vanity and several other things last week. So all in all I am pleased with how the booth is doing . And I am having fun finding things to fill it .<br />
I hope the bench sells quickly !<br />
On to the next project !<br />

Don’t you love the mix of plaids ?</div>
<div align="center">
The arms were loose and there was a chip out of the wood on one of the arms . But I thought it had some potential and the price was right .</div>
<div align="center">
I repaired the loose arms with some wood glue and some screws , filled in the chipped spot with wood putty and painted her with Simply White Cee Cee Caldwell chalk and clay paint.</div>

That’s right ! I painted it right in the middle of my living room . By the fireplace and the TV . Call me crazy !</div>
<div align="center">
I usually paint in the sun room or my work room , but it was cold that day and it just felt better in the living room .</div>

I decopodged the top with music sheets , as well as inside the drawer ,</div>
<div align="center">
and added a tutu skirt in black tulle .</div>
