Thinkin' Thriftin'... plus a little give away!

These two cards made with love (and some fabulous Close to My Heart supplies) are to be given away to some lucky blogger! Just leave a comment on this post. I will draw Tuesday.


It felt like time, once again, to have a little thrift store fun! This chair was purchased at Goodwill on Monday for just $1.99. A can of red spray paint, $3.00. The fabric to makeover the seat cushion $2. I had some fun with this little makeover and it will be a great addition to my deck or front porch!






I love daffodils!!
