Found a gorgeous Martha Stewart white farmhouse table on clearance at Kmart for $40 bucks, yes, folks, $40 smackeroos. This table is originally $199.00 and I have the sticker to prove it. I must thank a thread on the general scrapbooking message board at 2Peas for this find.
I love it! I've already touched up the banged up legs and have it moved into my room. It's a tad shorter than the plastic banquet table I'd been using but it's much wider.
I'd post s picture, but I'm getting ready to paint the room and I want to wait until it's completed done.
It's gonna be sooooo cute!

Iowa State Fair
I guess I'll start my new blog location with a post about the Iowa State Fair. My 3rd favorite time of the year (behind Christmas and Autumn, respectively). Some years e will go out to the fair alot and some years, we will only go out to the fair once and a couple of years ago, we weren't even in town and missed the whole thing.
This year, I decided to try my hand at entering a few pages and a mini album in the Paper Crafts/Scrapbooking competition at the Iowa State Fair. I entered last year and surprised myself by winning an Honorable Mention ribbon with one of my scrapbook pages. This year I wanted to try and best that and win one of the money places.
Much to my surprise, this year I won two 1st place BLUE RIBBONS! I won the 1st place blue ribbon in the "Scrapbook Page - Use of Embellishments" with the layout below of my niece Chloe.
I won the 1st place blue ribbon in the "Paper Crafts - Other than mentioned" category with this Christmas tag album I made
The best part of the whole thing is the $140 worth of gift certificates I won to various scrapbook stores in Central Iowa...Yoo Hoo!!
Connor and I are on vacation this week. Today was a chill at home day. We have been on the go and out in the heat and sun for 3 days straight and I think we both needed a day to chill in the air conditioning. I got some grocery shopping and laundry done but that's about it. We have some fun stuff to do this week and are just going to enjoy being at home. Later.....
