Stacey, a mystery swap and I've completed all of my commitments on Dg so can surely participate..off to find it..tks

Just got in from town, Walmart was discounting Christmas things to 75% off...only thing that tempted me which I bought was a new tree skirt for rec.room tree...bought 3 more totes (not discounted - yuk) and hope I have enough to finish packing my treasures...

Went over to Tripps Decorating store and you have to order wallpaper from booklets..don't want anything thing stands out or bright, just to pretty up the hallway..what I chose was 29.99 a single roll so that brings me with store discount just over the $150.00 project mark...

On my way out of town I thought I'd check to see what they had at the Re-use it shop for Humanity..much to choose from which I was surprised in wallpaper dept. but all too bright, or stripes etc. wanted something that blends in with wallpaper of the tea run and not jump out at me...walked over to the next aisle and wasn't there more..I managed to find 4 double rolls and they were marked down to $3.00 each..imagine..I asked the gentleman who works in that department if I could trust that the glue is good, he asked the cashier and she said they got all the leftover wallpaper when Color Your World moved from Midland and said it was good washable quality..not exactly what I wanted but hey price was right...when the gentleman cashed me in he said 'did you notice that everything today is discounted????' my whopping wallpaper project will cost me a total of $4.58..I'm so laughing..let's hope it looks ok..just wanted it to be much the color it is now, just softer look...hey, for that amount of money I can wallpaper and later on when I find at Color Your World the wallpaper that I 'ooh and ahhh over I can redo it..not a big project....
