Brookshire's Shopping

I had a great Trip to Brookshire's yesterday. If you shop Brookshire's they have a wonderful deal going on where you buy 5 selected items and you get $4.00 off your purchase automatically, well they have Classico Pasta Sauce as part of the deal and it is on sale for $1.00 each. So when you buy 5 @ $1.00ea=$5.00 -$4.00 for promo=$1.00 for 5 jars of pasta sauce.

I paid $1.29 for the items in the picture below. To see how I did this go here and to find many more deals visit www.weusecoupons.com and tell them amber070911 sent you!

A baby shower gift

A friend of mine is having a little girl soon and for her baby shower I wanted to make her something. I have been reading Xazmin's Blog for about a year and really love her Modge Podge Mania Parties that she host monthly. After getting a bottle of modge podge around Christmas time, I thought this was the perfect oppurtunity to use it, so here is my first attempt at Modge Podging.

First I gathered all my materials Modge Podge, a blank picture frame, paint, brushes, stickers and scrapbook paper.

I then painted the back and all of the edges on the frame pink, I did several layers.

After the paint dried, I traced the frame onto the back of the scrapbook paper and cut it out.

I covered the frame with modge podged and placed the scrapbok paper on it and let it dry, i then did several layers on top of the scrapbook paper, I also ended up using a sanding block to make the edges smooth because the paper was too big (any tips on this would be helpful).

After I modge podge the frame I put Faith (the baby's name) on the top and modge podged a few more layers over that, here is my finished project.

By the way everyone loved it and could not believe I had made it.

Be sure to stop by Modge Podge Mania to see more wonderful projects!

I'm Ready to Shred

Yep, that's right I am going to start Shredding. I have seen so many people say that Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred really does work and I have been wanting it for awhile now, so I went and bought it today. I will try and keep everyone posted on my progress and how I feel about it, I plan to start Monday February 1st. I do have a question for those of you who have done it, what size hand weights do you use?
