12:30pm

I just returned home from yard sales.

So glad I didn't stay home today sick.

I would have not found my most

awesome deals in a long time!!

Most of these items came from

a neighborhood sale up off

Sunbury Rd near 161 behind Kroger.

This was my bestest deal of the day!!

These will be put back for the kids

for Christmas.  It's been something

they've been wanting for a long time

but I could not even afford a used

one til today.  The best part?

This sale had two identical ones

so I bought both for each kid!!

2 Razor electric scooters

both with batteries & chargers!

I knew how much these things

went for new and used.

Check them out HERE

at Kmart.  They was $140 each

but sale price is $115 each!!

I paid $5.00 for each one!!!!

So I'm strolling along at some

other sales with mom when I noticed

a regular scooter for sale, non electric,

only foot powered.

I says to mom, you wanna see what

a deal I got on those electric scooters?

I then asked the woman at the next

yard sale how much for the regular scooter.

She said $20!!  $20 for a regular scooter!!

Anyway moving onto to my other

awesome deals.

A tackle box full of fishing supplies

mostly new and still in wrappers!

The lady started at $10

I said, ehhhh.

Then she says $8.

I said, ehhhh.

I then said would you take $5?

She accepted!!

If you go fishing, you know

$5.00 is a hell of a deal!!!!!

The tackle box alone sells

for around $35 new!

------------------------------------

I found some of my favorite fishing

line at another sale.

I like the greenish yellow line

since you can see it better in the water.

I paid .75 cents.

A spool of fishing line like this

could run you $10-$20 new!

And the yellow-green color

is hard to find!

----------------------

I've told y'all I've been wanting

a soaker hose to attach to my rain barrels

for the garden.  

I found a brand new on still in the box

for only $1.00.

The original price was still on the 

box for $30!!!

It's an 80 foot hose.

----------------------------

Next I got a brand new hand held

steamer in the box for $2.00!!!

I love steamers for cleaning & laundry!

A brand new steamer just like

this at Sears.com goes for $82.78!!

I almost missed this deal as I hadn't

planned to get out at this yard sale.

Mom did get out to look around.

I sat in the car and had noticed

it sitting in the drive way so hollered

to mom to see what it was and for

how much.  I got out soon after she told

me, lol.

-------------------------------

Next is a silicone bakeware set.

It has a pie, cupcake, loaf and sheet

or casserole dish in this set.

I've always wanted a set.

I paid $1.00 for all 4!! 
Brand name- Cooks by JC Penny.

I found Christopher a train clock

for Christmas.  It was $1.00.

It has train sounds on the hour

and the crossing signal lights up.

-------------------------

Christopher has been wanting 

an alarm clock radio for his room

I found one today for .25 cents.

Recently I bought the boys a toy

airport play set.  Today I found some

more metal planes they could use

with that set.

I paid .05 cents for each plane!

I got me a HUGE skein of yarn

for $1.00.  I wanted some

yarn for my weaving looms I 

got last weekend for $1.00.

This skein is as long as my microwave!

And I got a new Glade candle for .25 cents

------------------------------

Tony's been wanting some 

weed n feed for the yard but

the prices have scared him.

I found a 32 ounce new bottle

of Scotts weed n feed for .75 cents.

This runs about $17 a bottle .

Got Christopher two shirts.
$1.00 & .50 cents each.

And a shirt by Pepe Jeans of London.

I found these in a freebie box-
2 flower boxes, a flower pot
Farmer's Almanac and a Consumer Reports
buying guide.

 ------------------------------------

1:30pm

Nappy time!


---------------------------------


4:30pm


Why is it when we were kids
we'd find and capture catipillars
and play with them?


After getting close up photos of
the one Jonathan found on our carport
they look a little icky and creepy
up close and personal!

--------------------------------


6:15pm


I got one hexagon loom weave done.
This is the first I've ever made.
I'm guessing it took about 30-45 minutes.
They tying part is what takes so long.
This was made with the smallest
loom I had.  This would be great to do
with the bigger looms and make
a bunch of these to put together for
a blanket.
This one here is about the size of
a coaster.

-----------------------------------


9:30-10:30pm

Here's another one I did
while sitting in bed watching tv.
This was the mid to large size.
Both were a 2 layer meaning
I wrapped the loom twice
to give it twice the thickness.
