wide open spaces


the first tooth has finally come loose, and i am now $2.00 (not $1000.00) dollars poorer!!

i felt the need to have the tooth fairy leave a little something. using the library card template that missy pointed out, i made this sweet little envelope for the dollar bills. (sorry for the dark pics... i was under the cover of night!!)




<-cute clip art from my print shop program.

dollars slip in the back ->

we are planning to create more space in our garage this weekend, with a much needed clutter clear-out. does anybody else have that last box of Christmas decorations that still hasn't been sealed up tight?!?

on a personal note, i am sporting more space in my wardrobe, as the scales have dipped to the 18 1/2 mark!!

happy weekend, everybody!

I love those clear out and throw away days - it's so refreshing! Everyweek, I go through my girls room and throw away. I need to do that more with my own space! Have great day!

Great job on losing weight. I gave up pop for Lent, apparently I drink a lot of it and have lost 4 pounds. It obviously wasn't the reason I gave up pop, but it's a nice reward.

I am an organizing fool. I love the feeling of an organized closet, etc. It helps me relax. Have a great weekend!

I do have one last unsealed box becayse I need to go buy some tape and my little guy keeps finding it and bringing out decorations. Must buy tape.
I love your tooth money envelopes. I will have to get one ready because my daughter has her first loose tooth.

Yay for 18 1/2...that is amazing. I love organizing, but have sooooooo much trouble starting a job.

I love to declutter and am just waiting for my husband to get to the garage.

Love the library card money holder from the tooth fairy...brilliant idea.

Congrats on the dip. I hope you get to fill up the empty space with a lot good stuff.

Jill said...

That money holder turned out very cute and I'm relieved that the tooth fairy did not come through with the $1000.

Congrats on the decluttering and the weightloss!! Way to go.

Down 18 1/2 pounds?! Amazing! Way to go. I need to purge and organize far more often than I do, such a satisfying feeling. Glad the tooth fairy didn't break the bank!

Great fabulous news about the wardrobe!!

I am assuming only $2 poorer because it was a tooth that was going to be pulled? Good luck with the weekend project.

Oh, Lelly, I DREAD Erin coming to me with her first loose tooth! I've got a 'thing' about teeth! Yeuch. That Tooth Fairy envelope cutey though!

Decorations - Erin still has a Santa ornament sitting on her window ledge from Christmas. I just keep forgetting to pack him away!

Well done on weight loss too! My wardrobe clear outs work opposite to you - I keep getting rid of stuff that I've accepted I'll probably never fit back into. That prob sounds v.negative, but we're talking about skirts that I wore over 10 years ago (and pre-2 kids)!

Cute toothfairy envelope, and I'm glad he settled for $2. :)

18 1/2 is seriously something to celebrate. Way to go, I'm impressed.

Love the new wardrobe!! What perfect timing, I love new clothes in the spring!

Tooth fairy pictures are adorable. It should be coming up on time for that here in our house. Our fairy wont find $1000 either. I wish I would though! Love the money holder.

I love the tooth fairy picture, and that you did something special for the lost tooth.

Way to tie all your thoughts together under one title. Are you a Dixie Chicks fan?
