Our New Dinning Room Table

So first off this really isn't fashion you can wear. It is home fashion. I wasn't going to post this here but it make me so happy to look at the new table that I decide why not. Also this is our 1st table we own and brought with are own money. Hubby and me order this table back in August and we got it today. Which I'm so excited about it and I want you all to see it. Plus it easier for me to post it here so my family and friends can see it. Since not all of them have Facebook. Yes my Kitchen in yellow.

So here the AWESOME Dinning Room table It fits up to 10 people. We only got 8 chairs but figure we can always go and get two more if need be.


Isn't Pretty
I hope you all have a Great Tuesday.

November Spending Goal

Hello all. So it the end of the month and that mean it is November Spending recap/warp up. So I did good and didn't buy any clothes or jewelry. I did buy 3 pair of socks this month due to they were cute. I was doing so good with not spending money and then I saw Mariah Carey new Christmas Cd. So I had to get it. So on with everything I got brought this month.
  1. 11-1-10 Colour me glow 12 eyeshadow for .99 at Walgreen~ I didn't need this but for the price I couldn't pass it up. Plus they work really nice. I been wearing  them everyday when I do my makeup.
  2. 11-5-10 White Studded Belt for 3.24 normal 14.99 at Target. I been wanting this belt for sometime now but they never have my size. One day I seen it on clearance for more money that what I got it for and they still didn't have my size. So on November 5th I got lucky and they had my size and the price was just right.
  3. 11-5-10 Pink, Purple and Grey Over the Knee High Sock For 2.50 normal 5.00 From Target. I didn't need these at all but I brought them to do tights and knee highs. 
  4. 11-5-10 White Tights for 1.99 From Target~ I didn't need these either. I got them because I wanted another pair of white tights.
  5. 11-7-10 White Knee High Socks for 2.00 From Target~ These I did need due to I didn't own any white knee high socks.
  6. 11-10-10 Maria Carey Merry Christmas II you for 9.99 at Costco~ I didn't need this but I got it so I could listen to Christmas music in my car. I love #2 on the Cd. Which is Oh Santa!
  7. 11-14-10 Pink Ruffle Sock for 2.76 normal 3.95 from DSW~ Didn't need them. I thought they were cute plus they are pink. 
  8. I saved the best for last my Plaid Hat for 2.79 it normal is 19.94 it was on sale for 80% off and on top of that I got my 30% off from DSW~so didn't need this but for the price I couldn't walk away for it.
So I spent 26.76. Which is the highest so far that I have spent since I made this blog. I would have been good if I didn't buy the Cd but it all good because I been listening to the Cd a lot.

For the year I have saved 3567.47. How I have done this is shopping sale, using coupons and the biggest on is shopping of clearance racks. Hubby help with the saving money to he does the same thing as me.

P.S. If you click on the link you will see how I wore that item.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD TUESDAY.

What to do with Old Christmas Cards~Craft Idea

Back of Card give to me over the years

Add stamps to them
The finish Look

 Hello All. Today I bring you a little Christmas Craft Idea. I know we all must have cards laying around from over the years and have no Idea what to do with them. I know some or most of us throw them away after we are done looking at them. Me on the other hand I save them to make things out of them. 

This is what you are going to need
  1. Old Cards~ Just the front of them with the picture
  2. Hole Punch~ To punch hole in them for the Ribbons
  3. Ribbons~ For hanging them up on your Tree or other places
  4. Markers~To color and write on them
  5. Stamps or Stickers~ To add color to the back side. If using Stamps your going to need ink too.
  6. Scissors~ To cut them out 
  7.  
The best part is this doesn't cost much to do.  You can get a huge thing of ribbon at the dollar store. Same thing with the stamps, markers and hole punch. I got my hole punch at Target for .99cents.

So the first thing I did was go thru my card and picked the one I wanted to use. Then I torn them apart. The part with the writing I save and put them in a scrapbook. Then later on I have them to look at anytime I want to. The very Pretty card I will not pull them apart I save them  how they are. Once your are done picking the cards you want to use, Then you add you stamps or stickers. I used  my Christmas stamp that I find branded new at a thrift store. They are Stamp it up Stamp. Which are super nice ones. After I stamp the picture on them. I color them in. This can take some time. Then I wrote Merry Christmas on them along with Made by Amy and 2010. The next thing you need to do is cut them out. I used crazy Scissors. You can use plan Jain scissor to it what you like using. The next thing to do is punch a hole in them and add the ribbon in them.

I made these for my family and close friends and mailed them out with there Christmas card. I'm not prefect and miss putting them in a few cards. So they will be added with there Christmas gifts.

Also in the years past I have made Gift tags out of old cards. This is a cute and fun away to use old cards.

So far everyone who has gotten them loves them. 

Just so everyone know I love Christmas time its my favorite time of year. My family and friends tell me when they get there Christmas cards they know it Christmas time due to I'm the first Card the receive.
Today there no Cute outfit becuase I have to get the house ready to get my dining room table. I been with out a dining room table for 3 years and I'm so happy to fanily have one. Plus we have been waiting since August 1st for our table. If you are wondering where we eat at that would be our couch and chairs in the livingroom.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT MONDAY.

I also hope you liked the crafted idea and sorry the picture are the wrong way. I try to fix them with photobucket but then the picture would have been to big.

I so Want this Ornament. If this is the only one I get this year I will be SUPER happy. Amazon and Target has it.

Hello Everyone. I hope you all are having a great Tuesday so far. I spent the morning making Veggies Bars for Hubby. His work is having a pot luck and he want me to make him the bars. So I said ok. I ran to the store this morning and got everything I needed. Then came home and made it. Hubby called and ask how many did I make. Told him one cookie tray. He told me he would like one more tray. So ran back to the store got more stuff and make another one. So here in a few hours I will be at work. Which I'm so happy this is my only night shift for the week. I normal work 3 nights in a row. Which can be a killer because I don't get off until 1am when I work night. 

Also I would have never thought to wear yellow and green before my blog days. I will say I liked how it turned out.
I will be making a post tomorrow on how to make veggies bars. It is super easy to make. Just takes time to cut all the veggies up. 

Also I been look for a Thanksgiving song but no luck but I did find this cute little video on youtube. I hope you like it and get a kick out of it like I did.


I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE AN AMAZING TUESDAY.
