sale, sale, sale

My favorite word! I love when things are on sale. Michaels is having a 55% off sale on the Jetmax storage cubes. I have 3 right now and I will be adding another 5 or 6 when the sale starts. I had a picture of my studio room in a post on March 12th of this year and now I am finally getting it together. I will need only about 9 more than. Maybe I'll splurge and get 9 this time and next time get the 6 more I'll need. As soon as I get them together I'll show a picture. As you can see from the previous picture my room is in serious need of organization. I'm getting there. Check out Michaels if you are collecting these great cubes.

My new favorite snack

While on my diet to lose the extra few pounds that are lingering on my thighs, I found these great crackers to snack on. At first I wasn't sure if I liked them, but as I finished off the first box I started to really like them, plus I noticed that they are very filling to me. So far 12 pounds have come off. Now I know it's not because of these crackers, but they help me to not want to snack on the really, really good things (you know like cookies, cake or brownies)Anyways, here's the website to check them out. My favorite is the Sticks & Twigs Curry flavor, again at first I didn't think I liked these but as I worked my way through the bag I decided they were good. The website has a store locator so you can see if there is a store near you. Hey if anyone else likes these let me know.

Following one of my fav's

I just read a great book on blogging and in the book they mentioned another blog that I found I really liked. You can see it here. They have freebies and wonderful ideas.

Here's a sample of one of the words they have.
I'm sure I'll find so many ways to use this new found website.
I think with the new grandbaby, I will have many chances to take quite a few pictures and make a few scrapbook pages using this little gem.
Speaking of the baby, she is growing like a weed (she's hungry all the time). Okay here's a new picture of her.

She is almost 2 months old already.

New Blog Template

I just made this new banner for the header^ up there and I also found a new background for my blog. There are so many great people out on the internet with wonderful ideas. they inspired me to start creating. Check out shelscraps for the backgrounds. But the banner is my creation.

I took a picture of the flowers my husband gave me on our 25th anniversary, They were so pretty I couldn't let them go without a few photographs. 2008-28 years^
 
There is a good story to go with how many flowers I get each year.

^2005-25 years

From the beginning of our courtship he brought me red roses, because he knew I liked them. Then on our first anniversary he brought me one red rose, he told me there was one for every year we are married and of course he has brought me one more every  year. 2008-28 years^
At first I saved the roses, but after we moved a few times and then the kids, those roses got pretty beat up. So I decided now that I take a picture and really make it look spectacular in a photo, then I'll always have it.
Please leave a comment, let me know what you think.
