It's time for a "CHECK IT OUT" Post!! It's been awhile........ This post will be themed as a --------

My first point of interest is a my new "reality show" addiction called AMERICAN PICKERS on the History Channel. Their website below:

http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers

The show is based on Mike and Frank (above) who travel throughout rural America looking for good PICKS. Yes, they are looking for a bargain and try to make money on their purchases. (some say they take advantage of people) I don't really see that as the majority of the people they pick from are collectors and/or pickers themselves. Mike and Frank take their purchases and try and sell them to collectors of those specific items. Of course to make a profit. At the end of each episode it shows the purchases and the profit or potential profit. If you like a bargain and appreciate antiques, you will LOVE THIS SHOW...

A site I follow through Google Reader is DOLLAR STORE CRAFTS - see link below

I am a dollar store fanatic and am a relatively new crafter.. So combine two of my favorite things and well there's is this website. Great crafting ideas for little money.. Gives those more pricier crafting stores a run for their money.... Check it out!!

pics from my new hobby

DJDEB attempts to make jewelry..

I am going to post some pictures from my first few attempts at Jewelry making. (So please take that in mind when you view them) I had decided to make all my girls at work bracelets for Christmas and in the process learned how to make earrings. For Christmas I got a wonderful new camera (thanks sister) and wish I had it in time to take these pics as it has a wonderful zoom.. so here goes my first few attempts.

~~Jewelry by DJDeb~~

I asked my co workers their favorite colors and this one was based on the color green. Not my favorite color, but loved it paired with black and gold.

Ok I had two coworkers that liked pink. My boss liked hot pink---later denied and I just struggled with finding beads that I liked that were pink. My boss' bracelet is the last one. But surprisingly they turned out to be some of my favorites. Oh the joy of beading ....

one of many lavender ones.....

and some red for this last one....

So there are a few samplings of djdeb's beads!
