okay.. so that's it.. all my random fridays garb is over with for the day! lol.. I actually DO have a Thrifty find to share with you.. that honestly couldn't fit this weeks Monday Moodboard theme more perfectly! (and no it's not a garden gnome).. but I've decided to wait and share it with NEXT week's treasures.. since it's only one. By the way, my husband was with me when I bought it.. and he looked at me and said.. "you are kidding right? What ARE you going to do with that thing? "I told him I was going to put it in our bedroom.. and he looked at me and said.. " only in your dreams".. lol so you KNOW it's gotta be cool! I was going to put it back but the guy gave it to me for $3.00 bucks! HOW COULD I NOT GET IT?? lol.. now I know you are dying to see what it is.. stayed tuned for next week!
Well I better get back to works! 23 boxes came yesterday.. restocking the store with canvases, sprays, masks.. AND NEW STUFF! The Faber Castel Pens arrives, more colors of liquitex inks, Favorite background stamps, favorite EVER stencils.. oh my heck such goodness. Gotta get it all unpacked and inventories so we can get it back on the site! Should have it all up there by Monday! :)
Happy Friday ya'll! I will see you back here on Monday!

Dearest Christy,
I'm in for a chance at the class, pretty please! I love playing around with messy things. Isn't that what motherhood is all about. Decades and decades ago I declared myself the queen of mud pie making. That was before paint brushes and paper were invented. Your canvases are pure genius, sweetie! Donna
