</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had bought these for another project and had not used them yet, I thought they would dress up the board!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They were only $1.99, so even if I had to purchase them to stay within the $5 budget </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I would have been able to!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You could also choose not to hot glue them on if you want a look more contemporary</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I them painted the wood frame black, with Apple brand paint (I always keep this on hand) with a cheap-o sponge brush (I buy these in bulk)!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When it had dried, I used the sand paper to rough up the edged, to give it a little personality</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then painted the decorative pieces with Apple brand paint in lime green, when the green had had time to dry I brushed over it with black with a sponge brush as well!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I glued the pieces on with hot glue, a girls best friend!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted my calendar to go on the fridge so I dug through the junk drawer and found 4 magnets and hot glued them on!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I came up with black and white polka dot, which I was not crazy about at first but I know it had to work.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am sure that when I purchased this paper about 3 years ago it did not cost more than .25 cents!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All I did was cut the paper just a tiny bit bigger than the cork part and slipped it under the wood frame!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now for a calendar , I looked at dollar stores and could not find a cheap small calendar that I could take apart so I went online an found a Word version, changed the font, printed to size and then punched two holes in the top so I could run a piece of ribbon through it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had planned on using some burlap ribbon my Mom had given me </div><div style="text-align: center;">for Christmas but it looked too bulky, so I looked around </div><div style="text-align: center;">and found a great lime green piece of ribbon that came on a bag </div><div style="text-align: center;">from Coldwater Creek, it was perfect and FREE!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I then cut a piece of card board (from a cereal box I was throwing away)</div><div style="text-align: center;">to use as backing for the paper calendar.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stabled it and the calendar to the cork and boom it was done!</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Since we hosted my husband family for Christmas in the middle of December my house has I have been lacking a schedule. I'm slowly getting back in the groove of my daily "must do's" to prevent it from looking like a war zone. Last week was an all time low, clothes everywhere; bed room, bath room, outside the laundry room! Our house is still on the market, however I was very thankful last week we did not have any lookers, I would have been SO embarrassed! So when I am on my toes and remembering my 2010 motto this is what I do every day!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dailey<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Our bed must be made, everyday, no matter what.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have "let go" a little and have allowed (sounds bad I know) to start doing this, it is not perfect and he does not make sure the fabric on the throw pillows is going the same way or that our monogrammed pillow is not up-side down, or that the sheet is not showing or even GASP that the bed skirt is straight, however it has been one thing I have not had to worry about here lately. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It makes me feel good when everything is up off the floor!<br />
</div><br />

</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2. No dishes in the sink! If I do not have time to unload the dishes from the dishwasher I put my coffee cup in my cereal bowl in the small side of the sink. The BIG side must be clean at all times!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">3. Wipe off the counter in the kitchen<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the way this smells and does a great job of just cleaning up every couple of days, <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still use 409 to disinfect!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4. Dirty clothes in the hamper, not on the floor in the bath room or heaven forbid in the sunken tub <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(that is me) and absolutely not on top of the hamper, if you are going to take the time and effort to walk over for Pete's sake take the wicker lid off and dump them inside, it’s not heavy I saw you pick it up once I'm sure you can do it again (Chris)! Whew that one got me fired up!!!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">5. Run and un-load the dishwasher if needed<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6. Go through mail and throw away the junk!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm on the hunt for some cute baskets to help eliminate the clutter of the "keep" mail until I can get to it<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every few days I attempt to organize my bills in my folder.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">7. Re-fill the Brita water pitcher am & pm, Chris is much better at remembering this that I am!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The best $31 we ever spent!<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I need to add the following to my dailey routine<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*put all my "getting ready" stuff away in the morning<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*clean my car out<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*do a light chore<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">* Prepare coffee the night before, it will eliminat clean up in the morning<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Weekly<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">1. Wash sheets and towels <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(sometime I will do sheets every other week, especially if Chris has been traveling a lot)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">2. ALL laundry! <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am awful about waiting until Sunday afternoon to do this and by 8 pm I do not want to put it up!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I use Dreft, I know it is pricy but you cannot beat the smell plus it really seems to help if you have any type of skin reaction to regular detergent! I do not use fabric softener so I feel like I probably spend the same as most people<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmimayd7LUgAWjMDniwNp6phedg0cXSJkWXw8mvsg-E12sY88UHaXpWm1zOePyXyLdH0fJFAdBwCvopMcuHQvspe_JGup5uQ6xD8PKKK3GGFqbfNDt_bpaYJ9Qsf7Z_CnNng9naPD6nzE/s320/dreft_products.jpg" /><br />
</div><div align="center">4. Clean off all the catch all that accumulates in the kitchen<br />
</div><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">5. Empty all containers, throw away everything that only has one or two pumps left, and put new soap in showers if needed. This just really helps out in the rush of the morning and gets all the extra bulk out of the way in the trash!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">6. I look at the weather and pick out what I'm going to wear for the next week<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">and put it at the front of the closet. That way I can iron what I need.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I know very elementary but it has helped!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">7. Trash day in on Monday (which is great!) and Chris does it for the most part.<br />

A LiTtLe LaTe!<div style="text-align: center;">I can not believe it has been over 1 month since my last post! Wow, a lot has happened since I last posted however I will not take the time to do a re-cap and just move on into the New Year.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTFHK8S08VNhDSfAY9ovNmmLles6jloggm0JvRDHtBWj9AigJUxm4C_ldxoh6k3ShObSfj4HMRSF96tLi0VeM8LW85cms4ngrWNahEhzXs2Z-eohQmi_iXRY8kEjnTMMfeFXaE68KY1w/s1600-h/new+year+clip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiTFHK8S08VNhDSfAY9ovNmmLles6jloggm0JvRDHtBWj9AigJUxm4C_ldxoh6k3ShObSfj4HMRSF96tLi0VeM8LW85cms4ngrWNahEhzXs2Z-eohQmi_iXRY8kEjnTMMfeFXaE68KY1w/s320/new+year+clip.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since I seem to be working a little behind these days. I will post my New Year's Goals.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>My 2010 Motto</strong> <br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Discipline is remembering what you want</span></strong></em><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;">david cambell</span><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I saw this phrase over at Clover Lane, and it has been stuck in my head ever since. It applies to everyone no matter your age, social standing, race, or gender no matter what your goal is. I claim this phrase and will repeat it in my head every day, every time I start to veer of course!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I also seem to pick a theme or color that I stick with for a while, in the near past it has been avocado green, however I feel more drawn to dark purple these days, so I am sure it will be my 2010 color, do not worry RED you will always be my favorite, forever and always not matter what!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. As always, lose weight and be healthier inside and out <br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">2.Work on having a stronger relationship with my husband<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">3.Find a church<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">4.Grow my hair out and keep it healthy<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">5.This kind of falls under #1, but become more physically fit<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">6.Be more open minded and flexible (being in control is huge for me)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">7. Stay on budget and SAVE<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">8.Blogging and everything that goes with it!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">9. Be a better "parent" to our dog Sadie (there is a whole issue behind this)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">10.Make 2010 a year to remember, I have been out of high school 10 years! Ouch! I need to remember what my goals were in 2000, it was a big year for me and I went through a lot of changes and experiences.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am sure these "goals" are not to far off to any of most of yours, they are pretty generic. I look forward to doing a blog about each of these and how I am coming along throughout the year. Being the OCD control freak I am I have a "sub list" that goes with these. Maybe I should start a binder, see there I go again the whole control thing!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What are your goals for 2010? How do you hold yourself accountable?<br />
</div><br />

Ok, so I always want to look at the positive side of things on this blog but I have to warn all of you or possible get your advise if you know otherwise. I purchased Bistro Chalk Markers ( & paid full price), they have ruined all of my chalk board (even the one above)! The last message I wrote is still showing through. I have used water, 409, and even put one in the dishwasher, HELP!The Paisley Pairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17500488123624453784noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492515492818098574.post-88280143313091493472009-12-03T17:24:00.000-08:002009-12-03T17:24:56.713-08:00After!<div style="text-align: center;">Here is the after that I promised!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I really wanted on and gave myself a budget of $40 or maybe $50 if I loved it. So I went to Kirkland’s and fount the one I wanted for $60. I came home and have not been able to stop thinking about it, so I went online and signed up for their e-mail list to see if I could get a coupon and just like that 20% off. So I went back and purchased the last one. Tax and all $51.12! <br />

This can be a problem, so I am always looking for a bargain, I watch for sales, do a lot of comparison shopping, I'm a copy cat and do not mind trying to re-create something pricey on the cheap side, and I do not mind buying second hand. I actually like shopping at re-sale stores because:<br />
<br />
<br />
1. The quantity is limited, so they either have it or they don't so you are not wasting your time. <br />
<br />
2. The selection of different brands all under one roof.<br />
<br />
3. You would not imagine the amount of stuff that I get that is new and still has the tags on it.<br />
<br />
4. The price of course!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
However I do not mind spending money on shoes, slacks, jackets, or something that I know I will honestly get my money out of!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I call this my $12 outfit, no the whole thing did not cost $12 but each piece did and they each represent a different type of shopping strategy.<br />
<br />

Shirt- black mock turtle neck has a cap sleeve and I bought it at Stein Mart it was $15.99 but I had a 20% coupon!<br />
<br />
Scarf- black and white hounds tooth can go with so much. I bought it at a re-sale shop but I'm pretty sure it is new (this particular re-sale shop buys a lot of accessories at market) and was $12.99 with tax!<br />
Red Cardigan- Talbots classic cardigan, regular price around $70. It is not long like a lot of cardigans that I have bought/seen this season but I'm short and can make it work plus it was $12.99 with tax!<br />
Belt- Classic black belt from Target, I paid full price of $12.99 and have already wore it more than I thought I would! <br />
Pants- These came from Dillard’s and were around $60 regular and I paid no more than $9.00, can you believe that! They were on clearance after I found these by mistake I combed every Dillard’s I could trying to find more they are short size and fit me perfectly, I found one more pair that were a brown pin stripe and I paid $10 for those.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Shoes- Well everyone should have a nice pair of black heels they are worth the money. I always keep a black and brown pair of Nine West similar to the pair below.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a great way to make a cheap knit summer dress a little more dressed up and depending on your dress code at work it could mean having one more casual work appropriate outfit!<br />
</div><br />
<br />

</div>See looking good does not have to make you feel guilty! Above is the same cardigan and scarf, the dress came from Wal-Mart for $12 last summer and the necklace came from Cato's and I'm pretty sure it was $4.99. This would look great with black boots like the ones below and tights. I do not wear tall boots, they do not look good on me but if I did not look so awful in them I would buy a pair like this.<br />
<br />
<br />

I also bought this cranberry corduroy blazer at the re-sale shop they were having an alphabet sale and on that day everything with a J was on 20% off, so I think I paid about $15 for it, I had to pay other $12 for alterations but I think I will get a lot of wear out of it. I plan on wearing in for work and weekend. I bought the scarf for $5.99 at Cato's and have a tank underneath. <br />

I have some short brown boots very similar to these, they ar Nine West and I bought them when I was in college and they still look great!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was going to say Big Gold earrings, however I ran across these turquoise and remembered I have some very similar except they are on silver hoops and are turquoise and pearls but think it might still be pretty cute! None the less these are only $6.95 at Sam Moon!<br />
