100th POST!!! Castle and Carriage Mural

Castle and Carriage Mural for little Miss Hallie Kate who was born yesterday about the time I was finishing up her painting! Congratulations Steven and Stephanie, and thank you so much for allowing me to be a tiny part of such a special occasion. The proud parents have a crown to go over the top of the mural...when they get settled in I will post a pic of that as well.
The ornament is a gift for the new little princess....enjoy!

I LOVE COUPONING!!!!!

For those of you who do not know....I LOVE COUPONING!!! I became addicted several months back, no interventions please. I recently started taking pics of my savings and have been posting them on Facebook. If you are not couponing, you might want to ask yourself~why not after seeing these next pics. Yes, it does take time but is well worth the effort. Well, see for yourself why I say it is worth it....

The 2 pictures below are from my first Kroger visit this week. $275.25 worth of groceries for $113 and I received $4 towards my next purchase! My biggest fan is cheesin in the background!lol

I also went back to Kroger a couple more times this week because the girls are in VBS and I had the opportunity to rack up some more savings. This is $90 worth for $35

and here is $121.60 worth for $59!!!!
