Is it lunch time yet?

Today is the start of the busy week. I will have to make sure to keep up on posting this week, because I know this week will fly by with out me even thinking twice about posting if I'm not with it.

This weekend mostly consisted of me organizing and pricing garage sale stuff. You would think I would have wanted to go to the zoo and have a nice Mother's day on Sunday, but I was beat. I had no want or need to trek up to the zoo. I wanted a little extra sleep, then I went grocery shopping alone. That was nice. I love shopping by myself. It gives me time to read coupons to see what exactly I need to buy to use them and how many. Isn't that the worst when you walk up to the cashier with one item and you were supposed to buy two of them to use the coupon. Even worse is you have two boxes of cereal, but they aren't the fruity new flavored type that the coupon says you need to get. Lately I've been couponing a bit more. I hate wasting money on food when I'm already wasting a ton on high priced gas!

It took us from 10 to 3:30 to drag out, organize and price all the stuff in my garage. This garage sale will be huge. I'm excited and stressed at the same time. Still need to organize the clothes and linens into linens, mans, womens, and children sections.

I made a quick card today for the new jinglebelles challenge of old. Here it is. I used a vintage Christmas illustration, old BG christmas papers, old stickers, rubons, etc.. I had in my stash.



















I also bought a couple new digital kits this weekend from NSD sales. God gotta love National Scrapbook day. These all are from catscrap designs.
