I am woman, hear me roar!

Guess what I did on Saturday (while anxiously awaiting the 8pm start of the Dallas game)?

I re-wired a lamp!! Something that I've never, ever done before. Something that I never, ever thought I'd ever even want to do.

I can't sew, or do anything at all with a needle, but I can fix a lamp!

I dug this out of a box in the basement. I remember getting it, and another one kind of like it, at an auction in a box lot. I think I payed $1 for whatever I wanted and the 2 lamps were there too. They were dirty and didn't work, but I just couldn't throw them out.

Then yesterday we were at Big Lots and I found the shade on clearance.

I just love when things turn out like that :)

I'll have to get started on the other one...

I was feeling so crafty and full of myself, that I also made this sign.

We picked up the wood planks at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store for .50 and the letters for $4, which I covered in scrapbook paper and, voila!

Have you ever been to a Re-Store? They have 3 in our area and we just LOVE them. They have furniture, appliances, lighting, cabinets, doors, windows, anything you could possibly want there. It's just fantastic !

Now, the sign is for a little something I'll have to share with you later ;)

And, if you know Lili, you know you can't have a camera out without her getting in front of it, so here's your Lili shot for the day!
