Transformation Thursday: twice as nice


Welcome to Transformation Thursday! It's the one day a week we all come together to celebrate getting things done. No matter the project, big or small, they're all worth doing a happy dance when you get them finished. Whether this is your first or twenty-first time, everyone is welcome! Just use MckLinky below.


This week I'm celebrating deja vu. Ever found something so great that you wished you had another one, then not long after your wish came true? Remember the blog famous apothecary jar I made a couple of weeks ago for $4?


Well, a couple of days later I found the exact same candlestick and vase at another thrift store for only $3 combined. Twice as nice for less the price.

Have you made yours yet? If so, gimme a link in the comments - I'd love to see it!

Now it's your turn. Show off your projects by adding your PERMALINK into MckLinky. Please remember to link back here so everyone can join the fun. Then visit and comment - we all love comments! Ready? Set? Show!

19 sweet little love notes:

Woot! 1st time particiating AND I'm the 1st post. :) Love your makeshift candlesticks, I gotta do this sometime!

I bought the stuff to make those but I haven't gotten to them yet. I have so many other projects I want to do though!

By the way, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your old baskets esp. that old suitcase looking one! My mom found one for me at a yard sale and I am obsessed with finding more! I want to stack them just like you have yours pictured!

Have a good one!

Hi Gina,
That is amazing. I guess it was meant to be, in the stars or something. Anyway, lucky you, cause you made those look so good! A great and creative project, I am on the lookout myself for something similar. I'm trying to remember if you used some special type of glue?
Anyway --
I'm sharing some "transformative thoughts" for this week's Trans. Thurs., hope that's okay! I just thought it was the perfect opportunity to write some things down that I've been tossing around in my head all week...
Thanks for hosting again! Have a great weekend.
