Regrets

Have you ever seen a crafty gadget that you would love to have?

But you just can’t justify the price?

And then you finally talk yourself into getting it?

And then you regret it?

And find that you don’t use it nearly as much as you thought you would?

And it just sits there taking up space?

And then you really regret it because you could really use the money you spent on it?

Well one of my neighbors did the same thing.

Then had a garage sale.

So look at what I have now.

For really cheap.

Because, seriously, I don’t think I could have ever justified how much they cost. I think she had used it twice and I just look for things I can do with it.

This is the latest project.

I made a bunch of these:

Then found a place to put them.

Viola! Back to School decorations. Of course, my kiddos didn’t even know they were supposed to be blackboards. How would they? Their schools all have whiteboards and a few of the teachers have “smart-boards”. Roo keeps saying they look like TV’s.

They work perfect for this blank space on our entertainment center that drives me crazy.
