Whew! What a holiday weekend!!!

Nope, didn’t do the whole Black Friday thing. I may be a little touched in the head, but I ain’t that touched!   There is not a deal good enough to get me out of the comfort of my pajamas! I applaud all of you “touched” people who did brave stores. I hope that you got some great deals!!!

Our trip to Arkansas was great. It was so nice to get away from the house and those completely insane cats of ours.  However, I think I am going to have to revoke Chris’ driving privileges.  He missed two turn offs.  You would think this was the first time that he has driven to my parents house. Unfortunately for him, I was in charge of the ipod and his punishment for missing a turn…..Backstreet Boys! Teach him not to follow the 412 signs!

On our way home we stopped by a store called Oops. It’s a closeout/overstock warehouse. Man oh man! I am going to have to start making frequent trips there. It was so cool. I totally scored some great candle sticks and some small wooden trunks and some wooden boxes. Can’t wait to whatchamadoodle them!  We also stopped at this antique/junk shop in a huge red barn. I found this awesome tool box. It’s huge and it was only $12.00!!! WOW! 

 

Chris and I rearrange my work tables to accommodate it. I love it! It holds all of my tools and stuff!

Before leaving for our trip, I finished up that custom order I was working on.  I think they turned out great. I just hope that my office mate likes them and more importantly, I hope that her nieces like them!

You really can’t tell in this picture, but I used stickles on the front, top and sides for a little added bling!

Only a month away from WhatchaMaDoodles.com going live. I had better get to cracking! I have a ton of projects to get finished.  Now if the weather would start cooperating a bit, I have three small tool caddies, 3 pencil/doodad holders, 2 picture frames and a couple of boxes that need clear coat. I need a sunny day!!!
