What-A-Find

Finally home from The Salvation Army with some awesome deals and wonderful finds. Boy where they packed. Everyone is loving their 1/2 off all clothes on Wednesdays.

I found some great shirts to cut up and revamp. I also came across some cool shelves. A pair of 2 for only $3 (Love it!!!!).

Also while I was wondering their isles I came across two plastic containers that just happen to catch my eye. So I picked them up to explore the inside.

This is what I found.....

3 packs of scrapbook paper and 1 huge pack

About 10 small paper packs

About 30 loose sheets of scrap book paper





All that for only $16.... I couldn't believe it. 1 pack of paper usually runs around $10-$15.

So now I need to make more storage for my scrapbook paper. But I will save that for a later day.

Inspiration

So my inspiration lately has been found on You Tube.

I have been watching some T-shirt Reconstruction videos by Itsblitzzz and Adam Saaks.

So I've decided that tomorrow I'm going to be heading out to The Salvation Army for their 1/2 off all clothes on Wednesday sale. Since I've only tried a few tricks on a couple of shirts and have had  a couple look not so cute. I will be picking up some to attempt to RECONSTRUCT!!!! I have already made a trip out there but missed their super Wednesday deal. But I did learn what type of shirts to not purchase.


Anyways, I will be definitely posting before and afters.


I've already upgraded my scissors to some fabric scissors so that it will be much easier. ( I recommend some good shears, my paper cutting ones where the cause of  a few of my disasters.)


Attempts so far = about 11
Failures so far = about 3 

  
Which means I have about 8 shirts that are wearable before this next trip...2 of which I have worn and been complimented on.
