My First BIG Shopping Trip Couponing

I went to Wal-Mart to get the weekly shopping done, coupons all in my binder with sale ads, PM (price matches) wrote down, my list, money and lots of hope. I decided to get what I could out of Health and Beauty first. I grabbed a cart, got out my list, coupons and notebook. I went threw each isle, sometimes twice to make sure I didnt forget anything I needed. Here is what I got:
7 packs of Schick Razors
Gillette Deodorant
Gillette Bodywash
Listerine Mouthwash
2 Old Spice Deorants
2 Axe Bodywashes
Edge Shave Gel
2 Crave Cat Treats
1 pack of Orbit Gum (3 pack)

All this would have been $48.66 but with price matches and coupons I only paid $11.18 I saved a total of $37.48 I was so amazed I could save so much. And the best part was, each pack of razors came with a $3 coupon. The razors are $1.97 so I get an extra $1.03 from each coupon towards my total. Today in the mail, I got several coupons from Colgate and the company that makes Dial. All I had to do was call the 800 number on the side of the products.

12 Weeks of Christmas, Week 2

Here is my 2nd ornament. I used CTMH (Close To My Heart) chipboard ornaments, gray wool and clover meadow inks with red ribbon and I stamped out a Christmas Poinsettia C1102 (no longer sold) in Holiday Red and Cranberry to finish it off. I used: Dimensional Elements Ornaments Z1337, clover meadow is a retired ink. Gray Wool Ink Z2125

Now to my best bud/consultants site http://c2mh.blogspot.com/  I love how she displayed what she did, very good idea. I need something like that for my ornaments. I love making these ornaments, cant wait to display them when I get the Christmas tree up :)

More Sleep

Well, at leas this morning, she didnt get up till I did. I woke at 5: 56 so I just went ahead and got up. So I got a little bit more sleep. Got dishes to do today, maybe some more couponing if Facebook straightens there crap up. Not seeing half my posts from coupon sites Im on.......bummer. I hate the new ticker they decided to put on the right top. I have lots of good coupons and have looked threw the sale ads several times for items I have coupons for. Hoping I do ALOT better this time then my first time. I am so ready. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Thats all for now, later my peeps.

Happy Birthday

My oldest son turned 20 yesterday. Where in the world has time gone?? Seems like only yesterday I brought home the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. Thick, long black hair, blue eyes and dark complexion. 7 1/2 lbs 21" long now he's about  6'4" and he can rest his chin on the top of my head

Another Early Potty Trip

My dog Whichway got me up at 5 am AGAIN this morning. Im gonna have to cut water out after a certain time at night. This is getting old real quit. Now while I have been sitting here texting, messaging and the ever popular facebooking, she lays beside me curled in a ball sleeping and snoring.

 

I am sure you are probly wondering why I named her Whichway. When you take her for a walk, little miss priss ass weaves back and forth in front of you, like she cant decide which way to go. I wanted an unusual name for her. Im different, unique, odd and wanted something different for her. I figured that was a good name, suited her perfectly. Shes a great dog, follows me all day threw the house. They only problem is her shedding. I have used a non-shedding shampoo from the pet store and an oatmeal shampoo and conditioner from Wal-Mart. The anti-shed from the pet store dries her out so bad. The oatmeal  makes her shed worse, but leaves her smelling so clean and fresh......what to do?? 

I have been having problems with Whichway shedding ALL over the place. I called the vets office and they said it could be allergies. They said to give her 25 mg of Benadryl for awhile daily and see if that works. If not, she has to come in. Keeping fingers crossed it works. Who knew dogs could get allergies? ok, so I have heard but just think its weird dogs get them just like humans.......go figure.

12 Weeks of Christmas, Week 1

Here is an ornament I made for the 1st week of 12 weeks of Christmas. I decided to go with the smallest of them all 1st and use each larger 1 as the weeks progress.

I tried to turn the pic but dont know how, sorry.  If u can tell me how to turn it, that would be great. This is my 1st time using a blog. Im used to facebook :)

I used CTMH (Close To My Heart) chipboard ornaments, gray wool and clover meadow inks with red ribbon and some sparkly bling and a ornament button to finish it off. I used: Dimensional Elements Ornaments Z1337, clover meadow is a retired ink. Gray Wool Ink Z2125


I really enjoyed using/making the ornament and look forward to finishing the rest of them. The ornaments are quite thick and sturdy. I really look forward to using the chipboard albums later on.

Check out my Best Buds (Also my CTMH consultant) Tammy's blog who I am also doing the Design Team for here: Closer 2 My Heart CTMH has some awesome stamps, paper, ink and more.

Later, I will post other things I have done to share with u all. I am also couponing and that takes alot of my time as well.

Thats all for right now, later gators. Have a good day, its raining here...blah :(
