Dear Fellow Thrift Enthusiasts, I want to thank all of you who decided to stick around after I announced last week that although the Snail Pace Transformations blog will remain live for now, its social media accounts and this newsletter are becoming Victoria Thrifts. It means the world to me that you stuck around! Thanks to those who are interacting on the Facebook page. I loved all the answers I got to this simple question. (click over and tell me what you would pick) This past week, I finished updating the about page at SPT to let new readers know where they can find me. Listed a bunch of shoes on eBay and had fun repurposing Scrabble tiles into magnets. I have been putting together an easter basket for our "adopted granddaughter" (the last infant I cared for in my home who is now 6 and like part of the family). I just need to get the candy for it. I always leave that for last, so it doesn't tempt me to eat it before I give it to her. Who can relate? If you need some last-minute Easter Basket filler ideas, here are a few for various ages. For College Students (non-candy) For Toddlers (non-candy) For Mom (We want candy too!) I hope you enjoy this upcoming Easter weekend with those you love. Victoria The Best Places To Interact With Me Victoria Thrifts Facebook Page - was the Snail Pace Transformations page, I renamed it.

Dear Readers, It has been 6 years since I outgrew my job as a homeschooling mom, and during that time, I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Am I the only farm girl who actually knows what that looks like?! Sounds weird, but until I heard about the "NO MATTER WHAT" list, I couldn't pinpoint why I was suddenly so less productive than when I was a homeschooling mom. Sure, age and menopause have something to do with it, but readers, it was so bad I asked my therapist...
Dear Readers, I had a great Mother's Day weekend with my kids. On Saturday, my two boys came along with me to our adopted granddaughter's soccer game, and they went yard-saling with me before and after as well. It was the first time they had joined me in yard saling since they were little, and they seemed to enjoy it MUCH more this time. Each of them got a few finds. By mid-afternoon, we had to stop shopping because my little Nissan Kicks was FULL. Mostly with big items like the Ikea chair my...
Dear Readers, I am writing this email to you from my newly finished couch table, made from a yard sale find and a piece of pine board from Lowe's. You can see how it turned out here. I am loving it! I am looking forward to testing it out as a puzzle table this weekend, and soon as an art table, as I am slowly gathering all the products I need to create items for Etsy. I will be sharing photos of my next thrift makeover on Facebook soon, so hit follow to stay updated. I would LOVE to know...
