geesh, i didn't realize it's been a couple of days since i've blogged! have i been that busy? i think not. nothing spectacular has been happening. except tweeking the background on my blog. i've been wish-washy about that. i've decided on this background for a while. clean and light, with fresh pastel colors.

on saturday, i made a mad-dash to the grocery store that doubles coupons up to $2. i matched and stacked and walked away with a savings of $121.00. my out of pocket was $90. have you been visiting my coupon sites on my sidebar? i don't mean to tell you what you should do.... but, these are the best sites for couponing. lots of generous souls, pour their hearts and energy into providing the "leg-work" for the rest of us. i'm just saying...

that said, i thought i would treat myself to a few new prizes. sort of like a reward for me!

i splurged... $6. at our local goodwill for these beautiful blue and turquoise wine bottles. they're just beautiful on my window sill, with the light reflecting through them!

i also splurged at the dollar tree. i picked up a new pair of reading specs... hot pink (below)! and, a set of hot pink ink pens! how fun is that? the same day i was at goodwill, i found these turquoise polka-dotted canisters. .50 each. the shabby chic mug was a gift from my aunt janet.

now, it's time to say goodbye for tonight and list some treasures on ebay! see you back here tomorrow!
