~I will happily take our 13 INCHES of snow we had as of 10am Wed. Feb 6th, 2008. We have broke an IOWA RECORD~
~Notice the BIRD BATH peeking out of our snowfall??? Picture taken in our front yard out of the living room picture window. Nick, Alex and Maddi are pictured above!!!~

THANK YOU LORD, FOR OUR RECORD SNOW FALL!!! Please help those who have suffered from the extreme weather here in the USA in the past few days~AMEN~

~MY NEW TO ME ROSES SOFA & MY MOSAICS~

~CAN YOU BELIEVE MY MOM FOUND THIS FOR ME????~ ~I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THIS SOFA~
~CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FUN I AM GOING TO HAVE DECORATING USING THIS SOFA AS MY PALLET????~
~THIS IS WHAT MY BASEMENT USED TO LOOK LIKE~ Since then, It's now a TOTAL MESS WITH KIDS TOYS and BOXES of My TREASURES~
~BUT I WILL GET IT ALL PRETTY AGAIN~ AND ALL THOSE GOODIES BELOW...I'VE SOLD, INCLUDING THE CUPBOARD, (Sometimes I could kick myself....LOL)~
Okay, so this is what happened. The afternoon before I was to fly to California, my Mom calls me and says I need to get up to the Salvation Army to look at this sofa. You have to understand, I HATE GOING to the SALVATION ARMY. It's DIRTY, GROSS and there is NEVER ANYTHING THERE. YUK YUK YUK!!!!
I really didn't want to go but she said, "YOU'LL BE SORRY!".....so I went up there to see what she was holding for me.....and.....TADA....it was the ROSES SOFA pictured above. Now, here's the CRAZY THING. I am getting ready to leave at 5am for California and I don't really want to spend money before I leave for vacation. Mom showed me the price tag and it was ONLY $50.00.....but that's not all folks, I ended up getting 25% off since it was going on sale the next day and I wasn't going to be here....SO I GOT THAT GORGEOUS SOFA FOR $37.50!!!!
I WOULD HAVE PAID A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS FOR IT!!!!

I AM SOOOOO EXCITED to decorate AROUND IT, and so I am going to take this week off from Blogging to get some work done around the house. I am so far behind (so much so, I still have my Christmas stuff up, YES, can you believe that??? I always take it down Christmas Day Night)

I have been busy listing on ebay today (and continue to tonight and tomorrow) and everything is either FREE SHIPPING or just a little bit of shipping!!!

Check it out if you can......Here is the link to our ebay auctions FourSistersInACottage

WHEN I am all done decorating downstairs, I will have LOTS of pretty stuff that I am not going to keep going on the website, ebay and etsy. I just can't keep it all and I would rather it goes to someone who will love it then put it in storage.
BUT WATCH FOR A FREE GIVEAWAY THIS WEEK.....I WANT TO PAY IT FORWARD.

HAPPY HAPPY NEW WEEK,

HUGS AND LOVE, Amy
