We went to the Red Door antique store in Eddyville, KY while on our cousins scrapbook weekend. I got some really good deals and I'm not complaining, but.....I bought a wooden shelf with 3 or 4 shelves on it that had been painted pink so I could put it in my girly room. It was marked $50 and I was proud of myself for only paying $30 for it. When I got it home, I wiped it down with a rag and noticed on the back in black magic market $2.00. I guess the antique store vendor got it at a garage sale and marked it up, uuummmm, how much is that percentage? I don't even want to try to figure it out!
I also bought 2 sets of small silver salt & pepper shakers for $3.00 a set to use in my dining room on the rare occasions we eat in the dining room. I just thought they were so cute. When I got them home & proceeded to wash them out I noticed that one shaker didn't have the rubber plug in the bottom. Darn! There were a couple of other sets at the antique store but I didn't think to check for the plugs while I was there. Oh well, live & learn, right?
While we were scrapbooking, Barb had her ipod playing and the Bee Gees came on too often for me so I commented to her that I really didn't like their singing. When we went to the antique store, we also stopped at a scrapbooking store and lo & behold, Barb had to point out to me that my favorites, the Bee Gees were playing. Then, yesterday I went to Michaels to buy some scrapbook page frames and I'll be darned if they weren't playing the Bee Gees when I walked in. I guess I'm being haunted because of my big mouth!
This is a layout I did on our cousins weekend. It's a title page for my travel album.
To all of you bloggers who've put the halloween background on your page, how do you do it?

I love the layouts! Looking at the "I swear it's a shag" page gave me the biggest laugh! How funny!!!
I told the girls if you can't laugh at yourself, everyone else will! I didn't mind showing the pictures because I was skinny back then!
I wouldn't be upset about the $2.00 on the shelf as it's pretty old. I figured it could have been unfinished 30 or 40 years ago and sold for $2.00. See, you can always figure out a way to justify it. Believe me, I've seen lots of shelves in antique stores, so that's why I told you that $30 was a good price. I found one for $35. that was green. I went back a couple weeks later and it was gone. I was sorry I passed it up.
Did you NOT like Saturday Night Fever? That was ALL BeeGees music. Hey, we have pretty similar taste in music, you just prefer Metallica while I prefer the BeeGees!
Jess told me how to add the Halloween thing on my blog, but now I've already forgotten. I should have kept the email. Jess? Steph? Instructions?
Why are you listed as "Anonymous", Mom? We all know it's you!!
Some of the times when I try to post a comment, I keep getting a "wrong" password message. I don't even know why it's asking me for a password. I think I'll just be anonymous ALL the time. Seems odd to me that you can post anonymously anyway. Why have it password protected then?

Sorry Jeanne but your hair style was totally a mullet! LOL Wait till I show Mike. : ) I'll send the instructions on how to change your background.
All I can say is Bee Gees greatest hits is one of my top 3 albums I would want if I was stranded on a deserted island. The other 2? Seargent Peppers and Violent Femmes. But I'm not going to be offended that you don't like the Bee Gees. After all, what do you know? You had a mullet!! :)
