I Love Bargains

I've been wanting to stencil a portion of a verse on Olivia's wall for some time, but could never find the right stencils. Either they were too expensive (most often the case), or the wrong size, or I didn't like the font. WELL! The other night we were in The Home Depot, and I found these great stencils!

Perfect size, LOVE the font... but the best thing about them: They were originally $14.98 marked down to $.50! Wahoo!







You know me--can't write a post without including a photo or 2 of Livvie. Here she is trying out her new turtle pool from Uncle Ryan & Aunt Celeste. Okay, it's actually a sandbox, but it doubles as a pool. She loved it.








She does not care for the grass whatsoever. With a toy in hand, though, she tolerates it for a couple minutes...





...and now she's had enough.

Karen-what program do you use for posting pics? I haven't tried to post with the "new" blogger yet...yours are always neatly placed with the white borders around them...and they're just the right size.

Hi, Vick! I must confess I haven't checked your blog in awhile--I thought you'd cancelled it! I just use Blogger's upload option for my pics. It's easiest. I couldn't before with dial-up, but it's no problemo with our fancy-schmancy high speed. :)

What a great deal on the stencils! Be sure to post an after photo of the verse on Livvie's wall. What vs. are you thinking about doing? Livvie is a peach in her little polka dot bikini! How great to have your own little pool for her. How long does she last in it?

Just "fearfully & wonderfully made" from the Psalms. How long does she last? I guess I don't know... she loves being in there, and I just took her out when it was time to do something else! Same as the bath!

The other day was the 1st that I updated my blog since early March, so I don't blame you for not checking. :)
