Chicken little and the shopping trip....

Good morning ladies, can you believe how long it's been since I have posted on here...I think my excuse is called life..it slipped up behind me and knocked me to my knees...DH is finally feeling a little better and my GD is back in Richland, for a week, she is going to Girl Scout Camp this week. She will be back next week for about 3 days, then it's vacation in the Mountains with her Mom and Dad and Nana and Grumppy, then she heads to Johnson City TN for about 3 weeks with her Nana and Grumpy and then back to Richland before school starts...boy I'm tired already thinking about her schedule...lol...8 yr olds are alot better equip to handle it then us old folks are.
I want everyone to know how sweet this little girl is, Last week we went to Pearl to the Flea Market Mall, of course she had her little purse, never goes anywhere without it, I noticed her over in the corner talking to the lady who was running this store....she took her little billfold out and handed the lady some chance....So nosy me, I take off over to where she was and as the lady handed her a bag, she looked up at me and grinned from ear to ear...I just figured she'd bought her Mom something, cause she doesn't go anywhere without looking for something for her Mom...
Look what was in her little bag,
She told me "I know it is pretty ugly like it is, but I know you can make it beautiful, Granny...
How sweet of her to have that much confidence in me....and she even talked the lady down from $1.25 to .75 cents, smart, cute and a wheeler dealer too.....lol....
Well you all know me, I grabbed the can of spray paint as soon as we got home and this is what it looks like now, BUT...... if you know me at all, you know I'm not through yet...just a little teaser...stay tuned for part 2, to see if it looks better or worse.
Hope everyone has a great week...
Molly

    Hi again,
    I just wanted to write and say that your idea to put house numbers on a chalkboard-platter is such a fantastic idea! I could totally see that looking fantastic if you do that! I cannot wait to see what your platter projects look like, whatever you decide to do, when you're done! :) Thanks for stopping by my blog and saying hello!
    Take care, :)
