Trash to Treasure: A Remake of a Basket & A Winner!

Welcome to Trash to Treasure. Please post a link to your Trash to Treasure post below with Mr. Linky. I am going to be out of town next week, so there will not be a Trash to Treasure post.

I'm thinking of changing Trash to Treasure, so if any of you have suggestions, please feel free to post in the comments, or send me an email.

This is a tray I bought at Hope Village Thrift store. I just couldn't pass up a tray in the shape of our state. I thought if nothing else I would give it to one of my teacher friends. After my daughter Kelli at Sassy Southern Mom saw it, she had an idea for a shelf in her laundry room, which is also the back entryway. She found a black sign which spelled out the word HOME, and also painted a black shelf. I spray painted the basket black, and used decoupage to cover the inside with brown paper torn into small pieces. Now, she has moved it near her computer and uses it for pictures and notes!



The winner of my Pink Saturday giveaway is post number 18 (I used the random number generator). The post was by Judi of Cranberry Blossom. Here is her comment:
"Hi Diane What a great idea for a Pink Saturday and also for a giveaway at the same time. Funny how with blogging our minds think in terms of colours and blogging ideas and digitals. Thank you for entering my name. have a lovely Saturday. Your header is wonderful...those boys are growing up right before our eyes. Judi"

Thanks to all who commented! And thanks for stopping by today!

Blue Monday Wishes!

I am so ready for spring!

It's raining here today, but we had a beautiful day here Sunday...there were so many people out walking, hiking and horseback riding at a local park. My friend Beth and I walked for over an hour! I know we have lots more wintery weather in store, but the beautiful day was just a promise of things to come!

Today is Blue Monday at Smiling Sally's Blog. So, here's some pretty blue flowers to feast your eyes upon! Do any of you gardeners happen to know what these are called?Visit Sally for lots more blue posts and to meet lots of friendly bloggers!
Later today I'll post the winner of the garden tools give away on my Pink Saturday post. If you haven't commented yet, and would like your name in the drawing, please leave me a comment. Tomorrow will be Trash to Treasure, so if you have something someone else rejected that you have made work for you, create a post and link it on Trash to Treasure!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Photo Tag

Joanna at This Southern Girls Nest tagged me to do a photo Meme. The directions are to look in the 6th folder and post the 6th picture and write about it.

This is a picture of myself and three of my friends at the Riley Center Christmas party in 2006. From left to right are Robin, me, Karen and Ann. We had a great time! My son Jonathan, who was an intern there at the time, took the photo. We all like this picture-and that in itself is a miracle! LOL

I'm sorry Joanna it took me so long to get around to this. I've been in a blogging slump lately...maybe a little burned out. Hope to come out of this soon!

I would like to pass this on to:

Janie at Southern Lagniappe
Kelli at Sassy Southern Mom
Amber at Forever Amber
Lara at The Simpkins Family
Dawn at Dawns Daybreak
Sally at Smiling Sally
And to anyone else who would like to do this!
