Dudes! My FREAKING computer has a virus. (I know, I know, I should’ve bought a Mac.) So it is in the shop, which means the fun post I had written for today is also in the shop (that is what I get for being on top of stuff. NEVER again.)
I have a few tidbits that I wanted to share, and since not everyone is on FB I am over here.
1. The winner of the Home Depot/P&G giveaway is Kiara who said:
My #1 painting tip: use quality products, from tape and tarps to brushes and paint. When I was 15, I repainted my entire bedroom, including the vaulted ceiling that went up to 8′ high. Mom made me buy all the cheap supplies, and I had SUCH problems with them! The paintbrushes kept leaving bristles behind; the thin tarps kept ripping, and didn’t keep paint from seeping through; the tape wouldn’t lay flat against the surface, which meant paint was getting in underneath it.
You HAVE to have good supplies. If you don’t, more then likely you’ll not only regret it, but end up spending your savings from the cheap products to buy MORE supplies!
Thanks for the great post, Mandy, and the opportunity to win these items! <3

2. Yesterday I Instagrammed a picture of the most terrifying cat ever
When I went back for round 2 that evening it was gone. Which tells me 2 things. Someone loves vampire kittens, or someone has learned that even horrific things can be made whole with spray paint.
So do you want a clue about Monday’s exciting announcement? It has a little to do with Miss All Things Thrifty and a lot to do with the crap in our garages….
Have a great weekend!
Dude, I would love that little kitty! It would be adorable with a fresh coat of paint!
Or would make a funny gift as is, HA!
The zombie vampire cat, I can’t believe somebody else bought it.
Can’t wait to here about the crap in your garage!
HAPPY EASTER!
Man I wish I lived in Utah. Tear*sniffle**
I think Holly and I need to make a road trip this summer with a big, fat trailer!
So I was just writing a long comment and then accidentally hit the page-back button and it’s all gone….. Ughhh. To sum up what I was TRYING to say: You are awesome. I have been quietly following since mid 2010ish and love what your taste and page have evolved into. I think we may very well be taste-sisters… Is that weird? That sounds weird…. You know what I’m getting at. Seriously, though, your blog is so inspiring and I get excited to see what’s next. It’s always something! Anywho, you rock, keep it up.

I think the kitty met an unfortunate “accidental” demise courtesy of someone’s “purse” brushing against it and he plummeted to the ground and became Humpty Dumpty’s best friend. 🙂 Although someone buying it to spray paint does make a “nicer” story to tell your kids. Hmmm…what an awesome White Elephant Gift to hold onto for Christmas though too…..
