$50 Your Way Giveaway September 2022!
Happy September Giveaway little Peanuts. Here is my monthly update. August was a pretty busy month. I finally got back to work in my garden. Let’s just say it’s a big dead piece of land and not really a garden. But, all weeds are pulled. Everything has been trimmed back. I dug up some of my lavender plants and planted them in different places. It worked wonderfully last year so I’m hoping for the same next spring. Only a small amount of touch-up left to do and this year is done. I also cleaned up my little roll-top desk. (Refresher, my Grandpa built this little roll-top desk for my Mom in 1939. My Mom used it, I used it, my sisters, and brothers used it. My daughter Selena and son Zachary used it. Then granddaughter Alice used it. I decided to try the fad I’ve seen on Instagram where people are stripping furniture with oven cleaner. I decided to try it on the underside of the little chair. I was in LOVE with the look!!

Spirit Of Halloween MADE Me Do It!
I recently saw a funny saying on Instagram that said something to the effect of “Buy the stuff that makes YOUR estate sale INTERESTING!” Well, MY estate sale will have people going WTH!??! (I want you to take notice that I cleaned up my WT!!) I want people to point and shake their heads speechless. I ALSO want to be a ghost standing next to them just laughing my a*@ off. THANK YOU, Spirit Of Halloween. So, some of you may know about Mority. It’s been established that I have a few screws loose. I, at times, may have a slightly odd sense of humor…. so with that in mind back in 2005 Mority entered my life. While I was at work The Husband bought me a surprise because Halloween is my favorite holiday! I love decorating, I love dressing up, I love the trick or treaters, I love it ALL!!! I came home to a “Candy Butler” He stands 3 and a half feet tall. He can be set to motion activated so his eyes light up and he talks. HE IS AWESOME!!! I named him Mority. I had so much fun with Mority that after Halloween I told…

Sometimes doesn’t it feel like summer vacation won’t ever END!??!!? You will continuly hear the “I’m BORED” whine. Like when will the kids finally go back to SCHOOL!!?!?!
