Missing In Action

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post!!! Promise that I will try to do better and thanks for not "unfollowing" me.  I am switching to Part time at work and will be taking 4 classes online this next semester.  I am also involved in a bit of a challenge.  My crafting buddy, Kim, and I are in a race/challenge of sorts to create 365 items this year.  So far she is way ahead but I plan to play catch up this next weekend.  I have several cards that I need to make and some other projects that I have just not had a chance to share.  Looking forward to this year of 2012!!!  Just thought that I would share a picture of a craft. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what it is?????? I will share more pictures later.  Almost forgot how to load pics on here.

this is a cake that my daughter (well, step-daughter) made for her sons first birthday!!! I will tell you more later and give you some insider scoop on her fantastic cakes that she creates out of nothing as far as I am concerned. That girls got talent!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Good Morning,
Just wanted to drop by and say Happy Thanksgiving.  We are so very blessed!!!  We will be spending the day with family.  Later, I plan to take a little trip to Walmart and possibly get the Cricut Imagine.  I have waited several years for the price to come down and they finally have it for a price that is with in my reach.

Happy Thanksgiving

Robin

PS....I have a few things to share with you in the upcoming weeks.  It seems my daughter has caught the crafting bug and is very good at age 9!!!

I WAS FEATURED!!!!

June 30th I was featured on Craft Junkie Too Blog... I am so excited!!!! I have followed her blog for years and to be featured on her blog is a fantastic honor.  Here is the link if you would like to visit her blog. 
She makes all kinds of cards and a lot of other neat things.  My little Lollipop Owl that my Mom and I made is what was featured.

Extreme couponing on a mild level

I made a trip to Wal Mart this evening and this is what I scored:

8 bottles of Head and Shoulders  - BOGO Free also had 4 $1 off coupons.
1 bottle of Old Spice Body Wash   - free with the purchase of the Old Spice Deodorant.
 1 Old spice deodorant
1 Old Spice Body Spray  free with purchase of two other Old Spice Products.
2 Aussie Shampoo's  -----  2 coupons for $3 and Walmart price was 2.84....made money on this one.
Total cost was - 72.37
coupons -           42.33
what I paid -       30.04

That is a savings of 58%

I would have waited until they went on sale but my coupons are getting ready to expire at the end of the month.... I don't think that I done to shabby....what do you think???

Been missing blog land!!!

I know that some of you may be wondering what has happened to me and why have I disappeared from blogland.  On the 4th of July our family suffered a very tragic loss.  My uncle passed away unexpectedly.  This was very unexpected.  We will never be the same without Uncle Ronnie.  I miss him so much.


I now have Chemical Pneumonia that I got from inhaling a tad bit to much from a bug bomb.(not on purpose!!!!)... I am still recuperating from this and will try my best to be a better blog land person from here on out. 

Holly Hocks

Thought that I would share a pic of my holly hocks.  They are doing so well this year!

CONFESSION TIME

When I first started this blog I wanted to post every single day....alas I have fallen by the way side.  I had a most HORRIBLE, WONDERFUL, AWFUL WEEK LAST WEEK.  Let me explain.....

First the wonderful....My son turned 16....What, wait a minute....but he was in kindergarden yesterday...I am excited and happy about this.  I am very proud of my son.  He is a very handsome young man and a christian!!! A mom could not ask for more.  Now on to the horrible:  My basement flooded.  It took me 3 evenings to get the water out.  We worked on it after I got home from work in the evenings.  No wonder I am so tired.  Next week is Bible School and I plan on sharing a little of what is happening each day.  Anyways, Blog World I am back!!!!!

this is my home sitting way up on a hill.   You would not think that it would flood.  Guess when it pours the water has to go somewhere......I am very blessed and thankful that I have a basement and a good home.  So much devastation all across the US lately.  Prays go out to all the families.
