Adorable new blog

The creators of this adorable blog came over here to give me a really sweet comment on my Knobby Shutter Coat Rack post.

Well, when someone leaves me a comment, I have to check them out!  Obviously they have good taste if they came to visit me.  (Yeah right!)

I found this when I clicked over and just had to follow them!

How cute is that scarf?!  Love it!

Well, anyway, I want you to head over to Trains, Bows and Two Cosmos.

They are having a giveaway all this week and they don't have a ton of followers yet, so the odds are ever in your favor.  (Sorry...can you name that book?)

Check them out! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Borders

My kiddos came home from school today with this wonderful flyer in their folders and i just had to share it with all of you that read my little old blog.

Apparently, Borders Bookstores are giving schools gift cards worth $15.

How you may ask?!?!?!

Well....here is what the flyer says...and if you don't believe me, check out the Associated Press link here!

"The much discussed documentary "Waiting for Superman," which offers a harsh portrait of the country's public schools, has inspired a promotional collaboration among the Borders Group superstore chain, an education fundraiser and the publisher of the movie's companion book.

On Dec. 4 and Dec. 5, any Borders customer making an in-store purchase, whether of a book or a bagel or a latter, will receive a $15 gift card to donate to a public school of choice through DonorsChoose.org, an Internet-based charity.

Anyone purchasing the book "Waiting for 'Superman': How We Can Save America's Failing Public Schools" will receive a second $15 card.  The companion text was published by PublicAffairs, part of the Perseus Books Group, which along with Borders and DonorsChoose.org announced the campaign Sunday."

How amazing is that?!!?!  Pull into a Borders Bookstore, run in to grab a chai tea latte and get $15 for the school of your choice.  Seriously!  That is wonderful!  I am so there...and there are actually two stores in big town, so I may be making two stops!

So, if you have kiddos in school, or grand kids (momma!) or great grand kids (hint hint mims!), run into town on Dec. 4 or Dec. 5 and buy yourself a little sumpin sumpin!  It will change a child's life!

Thanks for checking out my blog today.  So glad you did...and don't forget to go get a magazine or something at Borders this weekend!

Fun Fabric Pumpkins

You guys have got to check these super cute pumpkins.  Fun Fabric Pumpkins, she is so stinking creative and why didn't I think of this?  Check out her website, she is giving a box of them away.  You never know who might win!!

Save, Save, Save!!

Alrighty, I have to share this with you all! I was introduced to the most wonderful website a few weeks back and I think I might be in love. No joke! It is www.thegrocerygame.com and you should seriously check it out. I am in a trial period as of right now, you can sign up for a free four week trial and I am serious here, it has already paid for at least a six month membership!!! I am so not joking!

I have shopped for the past two weeks using this system and have purchased $350.00 worth of groceries for $191.00. Yep! It does take a little effort of course, nothing is worth anything unless you have to put a little effort into it. You have to buy the Sunday paper, you have to cut a few coupons, you have to print a few off of the internet and you have to figure out your shopping list before hand, but it is definately worth it.

I am hooked and had to tell all of you the good news! Just check it out and try it for the trial time at least...see if you like it and maybe you might become a grocery game junkie like me! Happy shopping!

Shabby blog

Well, I have been playing around with this blog thing for a while now. I am trying to make it my own, but I am having some difficulties with certain things. But I think that I am doing okay so far. What do you think?

I went to this awesome website http://www.shabbyblogs.com/ and everything that they have on their website is absolutely free to download! Yep, FREE!!! I love it! And they are super cute and some of it is fairly easy to load onto your blog and others are giving me a headache! Oh well. I will just deal for now.

If you know of any other sites that might be good for free blog stuff, please let me know. I am still a pup when it comes to blogging, but I want to make it my own. Thanks!
