Thank God (Freezing) Friday

Holy Moly Batman!  It was a fa-fa-fa-freezing Friday today!  OK, that's obviously a bit of an exaggeration seeing that it was 40 degrees and there wasn't actually anything frozen... unless you count our noses!  We were sitting outside on this windy Friday waiting to get rich at our garage sale.  OK, we didn't really expect to get rich, but we were hoping to bring in around $300.  So far our 2 day total is around $80. 

We have one day left and are still praying that God will move mountains and bring in another $220 tomorrow. 

Even if He doesn't He has blessed us richly! Perhaps you remember me talking about selling two old laptops that no longer worked for $75? That was the just beginning of our Emergency Fund... that was September 1st.

 Yesterday, October 4th, we celebrated the completion of Baby Step #1!  That's $1,000 in our Emergency Fund.  The Fiscal Misfits NEVER have an extra $1,000.  We don't "come up" with that kind of money in just over a month ... ever.  We don't "come up" with that kind of money in a year!

We have no doubt that God's hand is blessing on us daily.  We are so very grateful.

Last month I had a huge success with my online store Turkey Bottom Haven. One of the items that Hotsauce and I made that was especially meaningful to us was a chalk board made from our Turkey's crib. We had a really hard time parting with it, but I believe that it may start something bigger for us.


Chalkboard made out of our Turkey's crib.

Isn't she a beauty?  I still love her.  But, soon she's going to be in a wedding!  I think the chalkboard will make a great addition to a rustic fall wedding!  Well, when her new owner, Cindy, got her home she sent me a message to tell me that she had fallen in love with the chalkboard also.  After a little chatting I offered to help Cindy (who's daughter is getting married in a few weeks) with any other needs they may have for the wedding.  Cindy mentioned that she was looking for a few custom signs.  I just so happened to have the other end of the crib and together we came up with an idea to announce the location of the wedding!  Would you like a sneak peak?

What do you think?  I have to admit that I kinda like this gal too!  Hotsauce was a HUGE help with the lettering.  We're going to be making two more signs for this wedding and have some plans in the making to make a few more signs for Turkey Bottom Haven!  We will also be offering custom signs for homes, weddings and other events! 

God keeps opening doors for us.  We are so incredibly blessed and in awe of His goodness.

How have you seen God's blessing in your life this week?
