One of My All Time Favorite Valentine's

One of the happiest Valentine's Dinner I can remember!!!  My daughter (that is still home) and the guy she had been dating for well over a year broke up about two weeks ago.  So my husband and I decided we wanted to spend the evening with her.  We made homemade pizza's and not too long after we got started our daughter who's husband is station in New Mexico called and we all talked over speaker phone while we made our pizza's  and she made her dinner. Her husband works nights so she was home alone tonight :(.

We all had such a good time in the "Heart of the home".  "Valentine's Day" "Heart of the Home", get it :)  I just wanted to share a few pictures of our day with you.

 

 

 These were some of the best pizza's ever.

My daughters cheese pizza.  Sorry no after picture

Mine half with traditional sauce and half pesto

Traditional side with mushrooms, red bell pepper, and onions.  Pesto with tomatoes and basil.

Yum yum :)

My husbands with pepperoni, sausage (he's gotta have his meat), green olives, mushrooms, and red bell pepper!!! 

I tried a bite and I have to say I liked it.

I hope everyone's day was as nice as mine was.  Thanks for stopping by :)

TJ Maxx Clearance Finds

I stopped on my way home from work Friday to see what was new at my favorite stores, you know the ones, TJ Maxx, Ross, and Home Goods.  I found two great tables at TJ Maxx on clearance.  This little white one had a leg broken off.  But it was marked down to $29.00 so I got it.  

I got out my wood glue and a clamp, wiped off the broken pieces to get any dust off and then put glue on both pieces, clamped them together, then left it to dry over night.  If you've never used this wood glue, let me tell you I think it's stronger than the wood itself after it has cured.

I put it in our bathroom. I finally finished painting it last night, well almost, the last thing that needs to be painted are the niches. You can see they're still white. But, I'll show you the before and after photos hopefully soon.  

The next one was marked down to $69.00 but I thought that it was still a little too pricey for what all was broke on it.  One of the back legs was broken off and missing (so we both thought), one door was off and the insert was out. So, I asked the manager if she could take any more off of it and she marked it down to $50.00

But, when I got home and took out the drawers I found the leg.  It had gotten wedged between the top and side of one of the drawers :)

I scrapped the lip of the door and reinserted the panel.  I filled the door hinge holes with glue and screwed the door back on.  After it had set for about 2 hours I turned it on its top and glued the leg back on.

I put it at the top of the staircase.  I just love the way it looks there.

This morning I started painting my kitchen cabinets (at least the parts that the backsplash will touch).  I think I might need to paint something else to get used to painting with chalk paint.  I knew it would be thick I just didn't realize how thick.  But, I do think I'll like using it because a LITTLE goes a long way.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out the clearance items and don't be afraid to ask for additional $$$ off.

Blessings,

Theresa

Ready to Start Painting My Kitchen Cabinets

I went shopping this weekend and got my ASCP so I can start painting my kitchen cabinets. I've got to get started and FINISHED before the 20th. I want to be done by the time the backsplash  is installed on the 20th.

Here's a sample of what my stone looks like for the backsplash.

Well wish me luck. I also started working up at my husbands office this past week.  They needed help during tax season.  I hope everyone had a great weekend.

I'll be back soon with an update.
