Another great find at GW!

I did a quick drive-by GW & found these!
I think its funny that I dont go in there looking for a "specific" item... I look at everything and wonder... "Can I paint & make you beautiful?"

So these are the 3 things I snagged.

$2.99 for the box
$.99 for the tin
$1.99 for the bird <3
oh & 6 pairs of size  T3 & T4 Jeans... Whooping total including tax 19.94




Im thinking of painting the tin ORB... The bird baby blue and the box Heirloom white.
The ORB I have on hand so I have to head out to Lowes tomorrow for the other 2 colors. I also have to build my dining room set in a box from Ikea, thats also getting an ORB paint job... or maybe baby blue... IDK.

Pallet nightmare.

So I have been trying to do my best at decorating a house that Im renting. Its hard to do some stuff w/o altering the stuff Im not supposed to alter. There are a few more things I want to blog about but this one I feel is a MUST before I forget just how pissed off I am... mostly at myself.
So I saw this yesterday on a blog & I fell in love with it! From Pallet to Book Shelf

So immediately I went to Craigslist & found a bunch of ads for free pallets. I contacted someone who was giving 5 of them away. Within 2 hrs I was driving into their driveway... Right then I there I should of backed up & just gone home. But I had already told her I was on my way... The pallets were old, broken, DIRTY as hellllllllllllllllll!!
She had 6 and thankfully only 4 of them fit into the back of my van. 1st off they were not the "style" I needed... Oh yeah, she told me to go back for the rest that didnt fit... hmmm NO!

I didnt even bring them home. I know this guy who owns a store and he makes wooden signs and can use the wood from them so I called him up & drove by and dropped them off. I'll go by today and take a picture of them if they are still outside just to show the disgustingness. (sp?) is that even a word? lol

Anyways, soooo the search continues for CLEAN pallets! Shit I only need 1 anyways. Oh yeah and the back of my van is DIRTY as hellllllllll now!
