Mini Makeover - $12.00 well spent!

Chaos is fighting hard to reign me....I keep fighting back.....Steve is a bit better, Rocky a bit better, my dad has been gone almost a month and the paperwork is winding down, work is insane, the audit continues but I have not been hit by a meteor yet and the jury is still out as to if the light at the end of the tunnel is a train......last night was a brief respite in the chaos as Kristen and I got one hour together to run a few errands and eat a fish taco and complete a full sentence in a conversation....to some of you, that may not seem like much but to me it was like a Hawaiian vaca....refreshing....its the little things. While at Home Goods she filled her basket up with loads or treasurers....I loved all the sparkling treasurers but just could not justify bringing anything home....then when I got home I took a look at my little table and it looked so sad, neglected and used (like the way I feel!)

The beaded place mat was losing its beads and had stains on it.......dismal I know.....

So today on a break I made a return trip to Home Goods and picked up a fresh new place mat (on sale marked down to $2.00) with my family room colors in it (green, paprika, gold) and this wise owl ($10.00 worth or adorableness) to contrast and to perk things up - Total $12.00

Even Steve noticed first thing!!! Maybe the tide hasn't fully turned yet; but I am treading water at least....once I get an Addie fix I will be even better!

Have you need a mini makeover lately?
