Needing a GOOD home UPDATE: She has been adopted!!!!

My friend has a sweet little Yorkie in need of rescuing, love, and a good home. This 4lb, approximately 4 year old baby has been Vet checked and has received a clean bill of health. If you are interested, please give me (931-808-5518), or Lynn Garms (615-631-6649) a call. As you can see she is in need of a trip to get her do done and with a little pampering she will look like a show dog! These little dogs are loyal and will provide you with more love than you can ever imagine. She must be adopted out to a wonderful home that will keep her inside and treated like the little princess she is. Thanks so much!!!

Happy Birthday Natalie!!!!

Happy 11th Birthday to Natalie Knox! Wow how the time has flown by...it seems like only yesterday Natalie and my daughter Reagan were starting kindergarten together, and now they are in 5th grade. Natalie gave me a PEACE theme, a color scheme, and had one other request "make it two layers". She was super excited to see this monster come through the door. I "zebra stripped" the cake batter so she would have a nice surprise when the cake was cut. I hope I helped make your day a special one Natalie....I love you sweetie!

This just says it all! LOL

Cupcakes make me hApPy!!!

Thank you Margaret for your cupcake cake order. The large one is a Cookies and Cream Flavored Cake and the other is a white chocolate cupcake. Both are frosted with buttercream and decorated with multi colored sprinkles.

Congratulations Jared and Ashley

Congratulations Jared and Ashley!!! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a small part of your special day! The cake consisted of traditonal white, pina colada, white chocolate strawberry, and white chocolate cake layers, covered with a faux fondant buttercream frosting, chocolate candy ribbon, and piped with chocolate buttercream. The cupcakes were "turtle" cupcakes: chocolate cake, caramel buttercream frosting, drizzled with caramel, sprinkled with pecans, and topped with a chocolate fleur de is.

Happy 1st Birthday Haylie Hayes!!!!

What a little cutie pie Miss Haylie is and she LOVES to share!!! I had the honor of making Miss Haylie's first birthday "smash" cake, but as you can see from the last pic she didn't do too much damage to it!lol

BCS Creative Couponing Class a HUGE success!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out last night to the Creative Couponing Class in support of Boyd Christian School. I would like to extend a very sincere thank you to Margaret Hobbs for joining us and bringing a large box of coupon inserts compliments of the Southern Standard.....that was a HUGE hit! We had such a wonderful, fun filled evening and hopefully everyone learned how to maximize their coupons while enjoying punch, cupcakes, and door prizes. Another "special thanks" goes out to Holly Goolsby Hodges and her Parents for the boxes of sausage donated for us to use as a couple of our door prizes. The Goolsby's are a tremendous blessing to our school and I can personally NEVER thank you enough for all you do. The feedback has been absolutely amazing, and another class is already in the works! Next time we are going to do some real world scenarios where Register Rewards are concerned, because that is what people have the most trouble understanding. Please check out the Boyd Christian School blog at the link below and also keep an eye open in the Southern Standard for an overview and pictures from the event.

btw~I ran into a girl that attended the coupon class in the parking lot of Kroger this afternoon. She had her binder, coupons, and notes from the class. She was so proud, saved right at 50%...but guess what, she wasn't half as proud as I was of her though!!!

Talk about a "COUPON HIGH"

Ok, I am on a total "Coupon High"!lol I saved....are you sitting down... a whopping 107%!!!!Kroger actually PAID ME to take this stuff home. Yeah, I only made $.74 cents, but look at what all I got. I did this by combining: A great sale+ coupons, a rain check, and 3 Catalina ($8.50 total) "thank you " coupons from the last visit. It will probably NEVER happen again, but I am so excited, and thankful, it happened once.

Vintage pocket watches are repurposed to create a beautiful family ornament to be handed down through the generations. These can be made with your family treasures or mine. Prices start at $18.
