Do You Believe in Magic?

I BELIEVE!...in these two products!  They have made my life so much easier/happier!  They pretty much clean EVERYTHING!  They have saved me numerous times cleaning up things that I've bought second-hand and made them look, sparkling clean, and new.  Thus giving me more options on what I can buy.  I love it! 

OXI CLEAN gets out most set in stains, including, blood stains, grass stains, and grease stains.  I'm not kidding this stuff is AMAZING!

Magic Erasers get out everything!!! Dirty marked-up shoes, crayons, marked-up dolls, pen, and LOTS MORE!  I have used these countless times and I'm still amazed every time.

Here is an example.  Our cute neighbor girls wanted to give this 'My Loving Family' doll house to Miss J.  They brought it over and Miss J instantly fell in-love with it.  My love was not so "instant".  It had been colored from top to bottom with crayons.  It kinda looked like a mess.  Which we can all relate with right?  What kid hasn't taken crayon to something in their life?   I was not wanting to keep it, but there was no way Miss J was giving it up without a fight.  So I spent 30 min.s trying to scrub it with soap and water, and nothing!  You couldn't even tell.  I went back to my cleaning supplies and saw my 'Magic Eraser' so I thought I'd give it a try and I was BEYOND AMAZED! It cleaned up the whole thing in less then 10 min.s!  Oh, I believe in Magic alright, because I don't know any other way to explain how it works!  If you don't have one of these, or ten, then go get one ASAP.  You can thank me later. ;)

I wish I had before picture of the house, but I don't.  Just picture it colored ALL OVER. Here are the AFTER shots though.  

I also got these other 'My Loving Family' products at a Yard Sale.  .25 each for the dolls and .50 for the car.  Love!!!!

Frame: Before and After

Remember this frame?  It was one of my very first posts!  I paid $7 for it @ a Yard Sale and I still LOVE it, even more now actually.

Here is a little before and after.

AFTER:

I spray painted it with the color 'Ocean Breeze' which is one of my favorites.  It's hanging on my wall waiting to have an AMAZING picture put in it.

We are getting Family Pictures taken in May and I can hardly wait to get one of them blown up to complete the look.  CAN"T WAIT! But, of course I will. ;)  That's what I do.

My niece actually used it at her reception.  They took pictures of everyone coming through the line inside frames.  Cute right?  I have to say that my frame was a BIG hit. :)  So worth that $7!!

Before and After

I bought this stool a YEAR AGO at a Yard Sale for $3!  With 3 little kids here at our house we can NEVER have enough stools so I was EXTREMELY excited to find this.

Well the HH finally finished it (bless his <3) and I couldn't love it more.  He did an AMAZING job once again!  LOVE YOU HUN!

& AFTER:

Pause, Play, Rewind!

I'm going to take a little time to PLAY with my little family for the next couple weeks and so I must PAUSE the blog until then.  Don't worry I will REWIND my life and tell you all about it, especially my THRIFTY finds, when I get back to reality.  For now grab your kids, and your Handsome Hubby and GO PLAY!!!  Hope everyone is enjoying their SUMMER, I know I am. :)

I'll leave you with this before & after:  Remember this sweet frame I got for .50 cents?  The HH's cousin bought the exact same one and painted hers up. (She is so much more on the ball then me these days!)  It's amazing what a little paint can do!
