Hey gals!!!
(And hi to all the guys too....it's just that this post is aimed at the girls. :) )
Have you ever gone to the Goodwill and looked at the shoes only to find that they are pretty much all dog-gone ugly? :) Did it ever accure to you that you could get them at their cheap price and revamp them.....I never really thought of it.....till now... :) Or if you have old shoes that have scuffs or what-not........
Check out these cute ideas.....

Aren't these just adorable....they remind me of a dear friend (Hi Adeline!) :)

And also sometimes those Goodwill shoes already have little "footsie" marks...... :) And that's pretty easy to revamp as well.....

Now I want to go to the thrift store and buy some shoes to "spiffify." Looks like fun...and cool outcomes. :) Also it's a great way to recycle. :) Oh yah!!!
