This is why I love Hobby Lobby

This afternoon I ran to the Dollar Store and The Dollar Tree to look around and maybe get inspired, but I didn’t have much luck. I decided to run to Hobby Lobby since I hadn’t been in there for months, and I am so glad I did. All of there home decor items were 80% off! I’ll show you the great deals I found…

 

I found this cute thing for 1.80. I really wanted a couple more, but they were sold out.

 

I had been looking for a basket to hold my croquet balls, so I grabbed this one for 3 dollars.

 

I love this wall hanging for 4.80. I bought it even though it has a hole on the side. I am going to try to fix it and maybe hang it in a corner…

 

I found this canvas wall art for 6.00 and it was originally 30.00.

 

This wall hanging is a little different, but I liked it. It was 4.00.

I got this little guy playing the trumpet for my sister, and didn’t realize until I got home that the horn is broke off.

I love it when H.L. has good sales, now I have to figure out where to put everything.

Cardinal’s Game

This year for Father’s Day, Chris’ dad wanted all of us to go to a St. Louis Cardinal’s game. We are all Cardinal fans and we usually go to at least a couple of games a year. As soon as we arrived at the stadium, the clouds looked really bad. It did end up raining for about 10 minutes and the game was pushed back about 30 minutes.

This was taken right after we got to our seats.

Chris,Cameron,Mike,Kim,and Brian.

I love Albert Pujols and this is the best picture I could get of him.

I had never noticed that they have a Hardees in the stadium.

This is the view from our seat. Our seats were pretty high, but we could still see everything.

Yeah! The Cardinals won against the Oakland A’s. I can’t remember the score though…

We did a lot of group shots during the day.


I like this picture of Chris with his mini bat!

After the game, I was able to get some “Artsy” shots outside. I love black and white at night with all of the lights in a city.

Lotawata Creek

This weekend, we headed to St. Louis to watch a Cardinal’s game with Chris’ dad, Mike. On the way, we decided to stop at Lotawata Creek for lunch.  I had never been there, but I had heard stories of the large portions and the burgers.

 

Here’s Mike, Cameron,(Chris’ brother) and Kim waiting to get a table.

This is the delicious appetizer we all shared. It was french fries covered in cheese, bacon, and onions.

Chris, Brian, and I were the only ones who decided to get the burgers (even though I don’t usually eat ground beef) and they were HUGE and delicious.

This was my burger BEFORE…

And the AFTER.. Notice I had to have a second plate to hold all of the fries.

This is Chris’ After photo of his burger.

 

This is the food we left… It was such a waste of food and we couldn’t take it with us since we were going to the game. Next time Chris and I will be sharing a meal.

I’ll be back tomorrow to show you some pics from the Cardinal’s game.

First Sale of the Season

I finally made it to my first yard sale this summer! I talked my sister in to going with me, and we spent about five hours going to yard sales in her town and mine. It was sooo hot and my sister's air conditioner in her car is broken, but we survived.

I got four of these old windows for five dollars.

I got the two frames for a quarter a piece, the old pyrex dish for a dollar, and the other thing( I don't know what it's called) for seventy-five cents.

I loved this old chalk board and it was half off of two dollars. I got the old croquet balls for five dollars. I tried to get the price down, but they wouldn't budge.

We picked this chair up for free. We are going to try and fix it up.

See you soon!
