Aren't these wonderful?I got 5 of these beautiful, huge doilies and table clothes,
in assorted sizes and shapes, at a garage sale.
Two are very big, oblong table cloths,
and one is hand crocheted and looks like it has never been used.
These were only 50 cents each!!!!
Bet you know I was doin' the happy dance,
as I nonchalantly took my $2.50 out of my purse.
I'm braggin' on my friend Tina and her great idea for a card.

What I'm workin' on:
A new display room,
and cutting my work room in half!
Will I be sorry?
Time will tell. =)
Organizing....
In process:I'm braggin' about getting organized!
Purging, and cleaning, and organizing.
Who'd think I'd be enjoying it all so much. =)
Got 4 of these little plastic trays at a garage sale for 10 cents each.
Kept shifting them around in the craft room,
thinking eventually they would be useful for something.
Started to throw them out a couple of times, but,
look, they are perfect for some of my little trinkets I craft with.
Moral of the story:
Don't ever throw anything out!!!
Just kidding. =)
Blessings on your day

OK, here is the lowdown friends.
Due to back, arm and neck problems,
I must limit my computer time.
So I will be bouncing back and forth between visiting,
doing regular posts,
and doing and special theme days.
Since I will not always have time to go link up to the special days,
I would really appreciate if you would just visit some of
these places on my side bar on their special days.
They go to a lot of work to set these up,
and they are really fun, and they expose us to a
world of things we would not otherwise see.
So go do some visiting and be sure to thank the wonderful hostesses.
I'm joining these ladies for special days on Wednesday.

Hello
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your back and neck... man that is miserable. Love all your great finds. And doesn't it feel good to get organized
Have a great evening

Have you ever seen that show on tv called Hoarders? Your craft stash looks almost like the people's houses they show on the program, except yours is much neater - and I don't see any food or wrappers or anything!!! Yep - never throw any thing away!
50 cents? Beautiful linens!!!
Sure hope you start feeling better soon. I think of you OFTEN!!!
Can't wait to see your room when you're finished. Bet it feels great to get all organized!!!
GIRL, you get braggin' rights!!! 50 cents each?!!! I'd say you scored big time! My mom can crochet in her sleep. I've tried. ALL thumbs. Oh well. I'll keep thrifting them instead.
Thanks for the post. You're all heart! Treasures from the Heart!!!
50 CENTS EACH???? Thats such an incredible bargain, I think I'd be doing the happy dance for a whole week at least.
Take it easy and look after your back.
Barbara Jean, you have some wonderful bragables this week. Your lace is so beautiful and at that price???!!! What a true friend to think of the ideas, jot them down and pass them on to you. How sweet! It is such a good feeling to organize and purge, isn't it? My goodness, though, I wish you could start feeling better. Some of these neck problems take forever to settle down! I hope you're doing everything you can for yourself to start feeling better. That pain can get depressing! Thank you for bringing your extremely brag-worthy items to the Boardwalk Bragfest!!!
WOW! You got a great bargain on those table cloths and doilies! I can't wait for garage sale season to start here...still a little chilly for that yet.
Best of luck with the organizing! That's something I need to do...SOON! I can't see my work table!!! Karen Valentine at My Dessert Cottage is having a blog party on Where Women Create. I think it's next month. Would you consider participating? Let me know if you want the link to her blog. Otherwise you can catch her on my blog roll.
Hope your back is feeling better soon!
Warmly,
Lori

You have inspired me to do more organizing, and you are right- it can be fun.
