I couldn’t help myself. I had to take a picture of the inaugural run of my Silhouette Machine. Notice I picked pink vinyl for the first run? I am thrilled to finally have it up & running.
As I mentioned on FB, (sorry for some duplicate pictures in this post) this was one of my Christmas gifts. After finally getting our computer serviced, then settling down after Blissdom ~ this lovely addition to our family is finally up & running.
Many people have asked me about the price/deals etc. I got the Silhouette Machine on a Black Friday deal Jen was offering on Tatertots & Jello. It was too good to pass up. So if you’re in the market to buy one, I would be willing to bet that they’ll have a great offer sometime around Easter…so keep your ears out.
Speaking of deals….

I’m now the proud owner of this credenza/buffet/tv cabinet for $5.00!
Yep. $5.00.
It’s dusty, one of the doors needs major repair, but I’m thinking I may even take the doors off & place baskets on the shelves. It’s solid wood. I have looked for something like this for almost 2 years. I could barely contain myself when the guy, who was as sweet as sugar – told me $5.00.
Then Wednesday, I found this sweet little bench at Goodwill.
It was half price day at Goodwill. The sun was shining & my Suburban knows to head over to Goodwill on sunny half price days.
It just needs a little clean up & it will be perfect for the kids. I paid $7.99 for this bench. Crazy to think that this was more then the buffet. But obviously, still a great price for something we will use. I’m thinking, it will be a good place for the kids to sit while they put their shoes on. Or better yet, so they can have a seat & watch me frantically search for missing shoes.

And…
Lastly, I’ve got another deal to share with all of you!
My blogging friend Shaundra has starting making all sorts of fun fabric accessories. For example:
She is making pom pom flowers. For $6.00 each! Such a bargain.
I love wearing mine in a cluster. I’ve had mine for awhile & I get compliments on them everywhere I go.
She is also making these Ribbon-round-the-rosies necklaces for $35.00.
Isn’t it so fun?
Shaundra, who also has a blog Loo-La-Bee Simplicity is having a $20.00 shop giveaway on her blog’s FB page.
She also takes orders from there as well.
So if you are “LIKE-ing” what you are seeing…head over to her FB page, Like it & enter for a credit to go shopping!
