Everyday Home Life With ThriftyShopGirl

 Hi! Welcome to ThriftyShopGirl! Glad to have you dropping by. 

First, I need to apologize because it’s been a month+ since I was last here. Was not my intention to do that.  I think some of it has to do with the mood of the time of year, holidays are done, started a new year, taxes getting done, weather, and yeah…know what I mean? Been going through the motions of everyday tasks. I have more I want to do, but it kind of found its way to the back burner.

I have a really big project to work on which is the basement. I started to do some work, and more things were brought down, and stored. Kind of hard to see the path I was starting to make to be able to walk a bit around things. The other side of the basement I was pushed into a corner with my craft table, and all my craft things were just piled on floor, piled on top of each other, and it’s a horrible mess! Soooo, I keep thinking about it, planning to go down there early afternoons to work, and I haven’t done it. Keep pushing it off. I get busy with something else, spending time on a house duty, back hurts, etc. Sorry excuses, and I just need to do it. Need to organize things again, and go through containers to start downsizing more.

My husband and I live in our son’s home. We should have kept the place we were in prior to this…would have been paid off now too. But, thinking it might be better for all of us to do this. Help son get started, and help us too. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been like that. Hubby, and I making plans to be moved out as soon as we can later this year. Long story, but we need to so we can keep our sanity.

So, yes the basement is a big project I truly need to work on. Things have been sitting in containers, they aren’t missed, or thought of so time to let things go again. Plus, I have the fear of if I don’t work on it our son will start throwing things out as he has threatened many times. I later found out when we were moving from our other home he was throwing things then he didn’t think were needed, or didn’t look important. Like I said, long story. I don’t need to bore y’all with that. 

So, how has everyone been doing? Busy, stupid weather, or maybe some feeling this slump like I am too. If you are, hang in there! It will pass, and we can step forward with things.

Thanks so much for visiting with ThriftyShopGirl today. I really am anxious for spring to do some thrifting, yard sales, go junking, and just a few of my favorite things. Take care till the next time. Talk to y’all later. Toodles!

ThriftyShopGirl New Start Blog Blogger

 Hello, and Welcome everyone who visits ThriftyShopGirl! Wow! I completely forgot I had this blog, and am getting around to catching up to myself with everything I have done over time. The more I look through my notes, and books the more I am seeing and realizing everything I was doing years ago, and realizing where I was going with my own mind set and determination. 

When I say a few years ago, I am referring to like back in 2013 to 2014. At that time I was involved with doing online sales. I started with EBay in 2009, and from there I was venturing out trying to find my own way of doing things. I wanted more, I wanted to be able to do my own thing with some of my own rules, have fun with it, and enjoy everything I do too. 

I was learning things, teaching myself different things, reading, sharing, researching, and was starting to have direction. So, what happened? Health was a big thing, in and out of hospital, doctors, couldn’t be home alone at times because assistance was needed with walking and driving, and once that got under control then life took off with family issues. Daughter being a problem child…still hasn’t got it fully together today. Son was in service for 8 years, and now home. 

Unfortunately, to this day I still deal with some of it, but not like it use to be. My biggest downfall is that my husband, and I have big hearts, and we put family and people first. So, here we are 11 years later. I want to do things to fill my time, husband still drives truck, and I am having time on my hands that I would like to do with crafting, thrifting, selling, and to do things I was wanting to do years ago. I know I’m older, and I should maybe consider other things. But, I still have the desire in me to do something, be creative, and enjoy the things I like to do. If I can make a little money from it that would be great too! I never wanted to do this to be rich. I always wanted something that I enjoyed to do, and be able to share with others too. 

So, here’s me ThriftyShopGirl making a start with this BLOG. Today starts where this blog will be for sharing whatever comes to mind at the time. I have another blog that is used for the crafting, and selling of things. I want this one to be for sharing ideas, things I do, sharing thoughts, asking opinions…and just everyday life. 

So, if you like the idea or thoughts of what I want to do Please follow along. Feel free to share if you like too. If this isn’t for you. No worries, I understand, and thank you for visiting to check it out. If interested please hang around, check in from time to time, and let’s see where this will go. 

Remember ThriftyShopGirl  Also, I just purchased my domain, and I need to work on where it will be directed.  When I have that set up more definitely I will share that with you also. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit, looking through here, and I hope to see you here again. Take care till the next time everyone. Be safe.
