Trying to get back in the blogging spirit...

So, I think that January 2011 was my worst blogging month.
Ever.

I am trying to get back in the groove. Hopefully, I get it together soon.

I did some organizing around the house the past couple of weeks. I took a small bookcase I had in the hallway and placed it in our living room next to the piano to hold my music books.
 It matches the piano and our coffee table in color very well. Now, I can use the storage cart that was holding my music to hold my Sunday School/Junior Church stuff, with the printer sitting on top of it. BTW, I LOVE my new wireless printer.

It is a Canon MP495. It was only $50 at Wal-mart. I love being able to send things to print without having to connect my laptop to the printer. I can be anywhere in the house and print stuff. (Now, if only I could think of a way to get the things I print without having to get up...lol)

A few weeks ago, Target had these bookcases on sale for $16. Carl and I finally put it together this past Saturday. I put this in the hallway where the first bookcase was located. (Side note: All the books on the top shelf are ones I have yet to finish reading, or haven't even started reading...bad me.)

Then we also put together this cubicle shelf for the bedroom. We also got this on sale at Target for $40, and the bins were $5 each.
So I guess, slowly but surely, we are getting this home decorated and put together.

Candle Giveaway!

Image
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
