The Price is Right: FREE

This time of year it's hard to save money, but here's a great way to do it. Don't pay for stuff! No, don't steal it! Follow my lead!

FREE Cranium Pre-School Game! These are on sale on Target for $4 through Wednesday. Use a $5 off ANY Cranium game peelie to get it free! Thank you to The Thrifty Mama for posting about this awesome deal. Target also has a $5 off STORE coupon that can be used with the $5 off peelie to get Cranium Cadoo for $5. I also found a great stocking stuffer: Cranium Zigity. It's $7.99, but only $2.99 after the $5 peelie. I went a little Cranium crazy and bought 2 pre-school games (free), Cadoo ($5), Cariboo ($6.99) and 2 Zigity ($2.99 each). Really not that bad: 6 games for $15.97!!



Crystal's blog is one of my favorites. Have I mentioned that before?? Check out her Black Friday deals HERE. They are awesome!! Plus, she is giving everyone else a chance to post the deals they've found, so it's like having a team of shoppers!!! She also gives some great advice on shopping safely on Black Friday. Read them HERE. There are some really good tips, and she reminds us of some obvious ones, too. Like don't take the kids! But if you're like me, shopping is a break from the kids!!

Well, a week has gone by AGAIN

I'm so sorry, ladies. I can't believe a week has gone by and I have neglected to post yet again! How do you ladies do it?? I'm even sneaking a post in while I sit at my desk at work just so I could let you know I haven't forgotten about you!

I will be following along with Crystal at The Thrifty Mama and contributing ideas to the Thrifty Christmas Roundup. Just take a look at this cute ornament:


It's very easy to do! And I will have some ideas as well. For starters, if you formula feed, or know someone who do, save the cans!! Or just about any container will do... We'll be using them for a project, so just a heads up!

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this! I was doing so well, and then life happened!

I'm Organizing My Life...& My Blog!

Hello! I have really enjoyed my new way to vent creativity. And I'd like to thank all of you for your encouragement. I know it can be disappointing for you to come check things out on here, only to see I haven't posted for a few days. Many things contribute to my MIA posts, but I think with a little organization, even the unexpected won't throw me off my groove! I frequent The Thrifty Mama A LOT, and I mention her site SO MUCH that some of you may think I get some kind of kick back!! Well, I don't, she just has such awesome deals, I find myself staking her site. (Hey, Crystal). But she is very organized and she also posts multiple times a day to be sure you get all the deals! I'm hoping I can at least post daily!!

But I digress...
The point of today's post is to let you know what to expect from my site from days to come. That way if something comes up you want to keep an eye out for, you know what day to check back. Don't get me wrong, I'd love regulars, but I know time is money!!! An since I got started because I was trying to save money, well, you see where I'm going with that one. This is a work in progress, but here are the beginnings of what I have in mind for the new daily line up:

Monday Makeovers:
Have a design problem you need solved?? Let me at it! Email me or post in the comments section your dilema. I will try and solve it for you! This will include FREE room makeovers!! More details to come on that!

Tuesday???

Wednesday???

Thrifty Thursdays:
Just a posting of the week's deals I found, to help lead you on your way!

Fridays???

Saturdays???

Sundays:
This will actually be "ME" time. I will not do new postings, not regularly anyways. It IS the 7th day (Sabbath Day!!) so I will spend it with the Lord and my family, not that I only do this on this day, lol.
