Look at these thrifty treasures!

Ok~ Let's face it gals, I am NOT going to win a prize for being a technical acheiver! Everytime I JUST get comfortable with something, my husband has to go and change things, and then he doesn't fill me in on that! So now, even HE had a bit of a time getting this to work, so now he knows how I feel! LOL!
First off~ Thank you all for being such great friends here! I have just been going through some things and it's been challenging. I am just praying and praying and that is all I know to do, but it IS very wearing emotionally, plus my job is very stressful. I HAVE to learn how to let things slide, but it's very hard for me, because I know I am not going to get in "trouble" at work for things because I actually work, but when I see my list and all the things we have to do aside from that, well, I get MAJOR ANXIETY because I WANT to get things done! I am a worker, always have been, but I am getting a little older and it's not as easy as it once was. Thankfully, I am well liked by all my bosses and most of my co-workers. Thank you Jesus! I am dependable and so I have alot of responsibilities, but I have alot to learn still. Factor this in with ADD~ and it's a frustration for me several times a day! I have good days, and not so good days.
I hope I haven't lost anyone yet, this is just my life at this particular time.
I DID manage to stop at a few places yesterday. There is a thrift store not super far away, but I remembered that on Fridays' it's their "Friday Frenzy", where everything in the store is half price! Brandon and I stopped here after we did the grocery shopping. He didn't find anything at either place, he was a little bummed, but he soon was past it, so that was a good thing. I actually spotted the three smaller pictures on their 60% off table, yes, I said that! LOL!  Actually, I was getting ready to check out, when I looked up above the door, and spotted the picture with the folk angel! Then I saw the hearts! OO~LA~LA! The picture was 8.00, but at half price, only 4.00. So I only spent like 8.00 and a bit of change. I was VERY proud of myself!
Then we stopped at the other place, and these two items caught my eye. The cheese box and the bag of wood grass. Well both of them were 25% off, so it was around 2.20 I think. I felt like I got some things that were great and I didn't break the bank.
I do plan to paint the cheese box. I have to decide on a color, I am not sure which one yet, I have an antique white, blue, mustard, red, and black. They are stacked.
Well, upon arriving home and getting things put away, I looked at the picture more close. On the back it has a paper label that says "Watermark, Boston, MA. It has the  folk artist Mary Beth Baxter on the label. I don't know if you can see it. I did a bit of searching, she does some amazing work! I felt very blessed to have seen this, and it's just beautiful! I love the hearts! It's framed with a recycled old hardwood~ that's what the label states. I couldn't find out anything about the Watermark. I am assuming it's either a town, or was perhaps a company, I am not certain.
The last two things I am showing are from a friend of mine on CS forum. I won't mention her name because she is that kind of gal, but I love her! I sure wasn't expecting anything, and Brandon couldn't wait to tell me I had a package. There were these little garden implements! Aren't they just the sweetest? I so adore them!
I already thanked her, but thank you again! I so appreciated it, it wasn't necessary though.
I am grateful to have met so many wonderful people. There is much hatred in this world,  I feel warmth from all of you, I am glad the Lord has allowed for us to cross paths!
I am still NOT smoking, so it's been almost 1 whole month! It has been hard, but I know that all the prayers and my prayers are helping me to stay the course! I already feel better!
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for visiting me here, I love it!
Blessings
