Wednesday ~ Gratitude & Penny Pinching

Happy Wednesday sweet friends! It isn't "hump day", it is FUN day in my opinion. It is time for me to join Heidi at Heart and Home for Wednesday Gratitude where I always have a great time. I'm also posting at The Thrifty Home where Jen is hosting Penny Pinching Party and there are always great ideas.

My gratitude post is about my day with my sister Jessica. Jackson Street Festival was held last weekend in Harlingen, Tx. My sister Jessica from JOY Marie's Boutique and I had a booth. My Penny Pinching Party posting is about an artistic painting my son made last week. It was simple, made a statement, and was made cost efficiently.

My son made this for a school project. He took apart a pizza box, painted the background in black, and hand wrote the Serenity Prayer in white paint. It looked like a chalk-board painting that you see at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. I was so proud of him.

Did I ever tell you that God has a sense of humor? Well he does! We arrived early Saturday morning at the festival to setup and it was drizzling. Jessica and I weren't about to give up so we prayed to God for stop the rain, and it stopped raining. I guess we weren't specific enough about the weather because it was very windy all day. Our booth was not presented as well as we wanted because the wind was crazy, but we made the best of it.

There were several vendors selling plants. They were definitely the hot item in demand. The plants were gorgeous.


We had a wonderful day, made new friends, and good sales!


By 4pm we loaded up the UHaul and headed home. Below is a picture of Jessica; even after a long windy day she still looked beautiful and like she was still having fun.



Have a wonderful Wednesday! ~ Yoli :)
