Treasured Finds & HELP TIPS for YOU~!

 I want to make your wednesday and everyday Happier and easier to get through. So with that in mind, I have brought you these extremely helpful tips.:-)
I've personally tried no. 6 and its a real winner..
I will be trying no. 4 on my Daughter, lol   I'm thinking its a winner even before I try it..

THESE REALLY WORK!! I checked this out on Snopes and it's for real!
I know you'll want to try at least one of them,


1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.

2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.

3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER.

4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.

6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. 

IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40.
IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

7.. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.


8. If you try any of the above tips I am NOT responcible for the results.  I'm innocent I tell you, INNOCENT ~!

 To all those who posted comments on my teapot tour , YES, I made that Baby and 230 others, so far..  As suggested I put a clickable tag on my side bar so you can see some other
samples and read a little about them. I'll be adding my email to each new post I make so if you need to contact me, you can.. Hopefully I'll remember to do that.. 
 I do appreciate your comments and your suggestions and I am doing my best to implement them, if I can figure out how to without aggravating Marla at Always Nesting, too much.. I know she appreciates it too , lol...

Many thanks to Susan for hosting the Meta Monday party ~be sure to go and see all the other talented folks who are also participating..

A couple of these items still need some work and others are brand new and still had the tags on them.. I get so dang excited in Goodwill and thrift stores I almost break out in hives , giggle.
OK Sonny, hush and get on with the good part-- the PHOTOS
The large white jar was multicolored- in garish tones I might add. I spray painted it white but I see in the picture it still needs something. Gonna have to give that some thought and I am open to suggestions- so feel free to suggest to your little hearts content. I know some of you Pro spray painters will be able to tell me how to make it BOOOOtiful..  Jar~ 1.00
The plaque with the grapes was 50 cents. It looks like its supposed to be glazed on the white frame section but wasnt done too well.. any ideas?? 
Large candle jar 2.00 ~ splurged on that lol
small candle holder--very heavy for its size~25 cents
2 tiny tea pots  1.00 each=love them sooooooo much..
planted 2.00 and worth every penny- got it a few weeks ago but it just had to be in this photo..
Next is me playing in my art program and doing a collage or would that be a mosiac.. either way looks good to me.
Thats it for this post Folks.
I hope the Helpful Tips brought a smile to your wednesday and that you enjoyed the photos of my newest finds and bargains. 
 Its always wonderful to have you visit and to read your comments and suggestions.
My Babies can be seen by clicking on the sidebar tag~ email is Savannahsbabies@aol.com
Happy Wednesday and let me know where that Goodwill Party is OR if you;d like for me to start one.
Warm Hugs and Happy thoughts to each and every one of you.

  4. I think I need #4 ~ I set my clock a half hour before I have to get up because I hit snooze like 4 times! Love the jar ~ what about a rub-on. I know there's a fleur de lys rub-on running around that I'd like to get myself. I don't get to hit Good Will as often as I'd like but a Wednesday linky would be great.

  5. Love the tips, I'm envious of your GW finds. My friend Joan (Apple Jack Lane) and I have visited our local GW, Mission, and SA in the hopes of a great find - we've come to the conclusion that we need to travel to a larger city.

    Your babies, simply beautiful.

  20. Sonny, I love those tips. Your GW finds are terrific. I wish I could find nice things there. If you want the framed distressed better I would either paint the frame and then sand a little and glaze it or just sand some places and glaze it and skip the painting part.

  26. I just heard Dr. Oz say that the sleep you get if you set the snooze is worthless and that we should all just set the alarm at the time we want to get up and we would be much more rested. I'm a snoozer! Love the blue and white!!

  27. Hi Sonny,

  29. Number 6 is a fave. My husband heard it from someone else and passed it on to me. HOWEVER, he seems to forget when applicable.

    Love number 3 - it's both scary and gross.
    Number 5? LOL!

    Thanks for the laughs, sonny-bunny!

    P.S. Lovely blue/white vignette, of course. ;)
