I can’t believe I almost forgot the MOST important find of the weekend. I was so caught up in the new TV and Sandals drama I completely forgot.
So M and I hit up Wal-Mart first on Saturday as part of our mission to find a TV. Now let me say, I am not a Wal-Mart fan. I have been bitten by the Target bug and I have vowed to stay true. However, Wal-Mart really does have some good deals. So much so, that M threatened to start going there more. First off we saw a great little patio table, chairs and umbrella for $98.00. Then we ran across the large plastic tubs and they were under $5.00, YES you read that correctly. Under $5.00. I almost felt the need to buy some even though we don’t really need any. Maybe that’s the evil genius of Wal-Mart. Make certain things so cheap you buy out of must and not need. Who knows. When we realized that Wal-Mart did not have a TV, it hit me…..HOT PINK FLIP FLOPS! Right?! If any place is going to have hot pink wedge flops this has got to be the place. And sure enough, what was right there in plain sight in the shoes, HOT PINK WEDGE FLIP FLOPS, for $7.00! Yep, you know I bought them. 🙂
Now I have pink flip flops and white flip flops. What is a girl to do! My plan from the start was to find flip flops that I could jewel. Hello 8th grade, I’m back. ;) Yesterday as I was surfing on theknot boards (yes I’ve gone back) I found a cute pair that had ribbon wrapped around and then jewels on the ribbon. Hello idea! So I think that I will look for some pink ribbon to match and jewels. I haven’t decided what color jewels I will use yet. But I think I have a pretty good plan. Hopefully they won’t turn out terrible. (But just in case I guess I have a backup pair ;))
I am also working on a personalized clothes hanger for my dress. Many of the girls have tackled this project so I feel confident I can do it. I bought some 16 gauge wire last time I was at Lowe’s so I have what I need. Now I just need to figure out how to get a decent looking K. It is not easy bending wire into the form of a K. I’ve done a few practice runs and I think I am close to tackling this project.
Please note I am STILL waiting on my new phone from Verizon! Have I mentioned patience is NOT a virtue of mine? So I have devised an evil little plan to continue to complain on my blog in hopes someone from Verizon will see this and SHIP MY PHONE!!!! :) In the mean time my poor readers will have to endure these small rants. Hopefully only for a few more days anyway. I do apologize in advance.
