I spent some time yesterday and today looking at sites that list deals and printing off coupons. I was so into what I was doing yesterday, I forgot to send the Mr. off to get the Sunday paper. (This would be why he gave me a funny look this morning when I told him not to forget to get me Sunday's paper - today. He said nothing though I could see he wanted to - which not like him.)
I'm pretty good at finding deals and love a good coupon, but I can see that I've been missing out on some fantastic deals. So, this week will be dedicated to getting my "couponing" act together. I found about 5 or 6 offers of free sample that I signed up for! I already received my free trial size of Degree deodorant. Woot! Woot! I put up a link to one of the sites I like called The Krazy Coupon Lady. Check her out. As I find more sites I think are worth going to, I'll share those as well as I come across them.
For those of you into paper crafting, there are almost always a blog or two doing a give-a-way. I'll try to share the ones I know about with you. One I just signed up for was for the new unreleased Core Impressions paper pack. Click here to enter into the drawing or check out the Coredinations web site here.
Lastly, I'll leave you with a card I made for my kids' teachers as a thank you for all of their hard work. This is actually a redo, as I, of course, can't get my hands on a picture of the original two I did last year.


I love this stamp from MFT. Its the Pure Innocence - You Make the Grade stamp (I love this line of stamps! So sweet!). This was my first time paper piecing and using the few Copic markers I have. In this card, her shirt and the blackboard is paper pieced. The rest of her is colored with Copic markers. That's item number 143, to learn how to color like a pro with Copic markers! Oh, and to own more than 8 of them lol! The original cards had a little more going on, so I'll have to find those and share them too. One more item to add to my never ending "to do" list.
Till next time,
M.J.
