A little couponing I did this weekend

I am such an extremist in my personality, I have learned to embrace myself and live with it...LOL....can't say my hubby or the kids know how to deal with me but hey they will someday learn that you can't fight a Gemini and my addictions...lol. So onto this weeks addiction. I found a coupon site that I had to order from called Buy Grocery Coupons I got the package of 40 inserts, 10 P&G (love that one) 10 red plum #1, 10 red plum #2 and 10 Smart Source. Now you may think this sounds extreme but on all the couponing sites I go to they say you should buy 1 newspaper for everyone that lives in your house. Well at $3.00 a pop who could afford that, for 40 coupon inserts it only cost $16.00 and I have already used so many coupons from those inserts and saved more then what it cost to buy them....You can order in whatever quantities you like but for me the big package was what I needed to start building my stockpile.

I went to Target early on Saturday morning armed with my coupons and here is what I scored.

4 bags of Snyder (1 pounder) $2.59 per bag
used (4) $1.00 Target printables
used (4) $1.00 coupons from SS

Paid .49 a bag

4 Sobe Lifewaters $1.00
used (2) $1.00 target printable
used (2) BOGO Internet printable
4 FREE sobe's

I spent $8.46 on all of this and saved $34.16. Not to bad after taking a coupon of months off from couponing.

Have a great week and my next post will be something crafty.

Don't pass out but I have a page to share and more convention photos

Talk about good times!!!! I did 21 pages at a weekend back in March but I am slow in getting them loaded...LOL...SO 1 down 20 more to go...ha ha ha. My pictures may be out of order bare with me. We stopped at a gas station in Filmore Utah and there was the most amazing rainbow, being a past Rainbow Girl I had to get a photo of the rainbow, then we have the three of us taking pictures with some of the cute props at convention, and the last thing was one of our lunches we were treated to a chocolate fountain bar. I have never had this before and I LOVED IT!!! You name it they had it for you to dip, I tried my first chocolate covered cinnamon gummy bear. My dear friend Mary Lynn loved it, me not so much. I have more pictures of some of the swaps I was in while at convention and soon I will load those up too. Bye for now

By the way, if it looks like I am skipping letters or something isn't making sense my computer keys are sticking and it has been a great source of aggravation. I have to go back and check every word...ugggg

Halloween classes to be scheduled in Sept.

Brent Steel did this demo at convention and let me tell you in person it is spactacular!!! I wish the photos I took of it could do it justice but this will hve to do for now.

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to decorate for Halloween. I have a sofa table that this will look fabulous on. So onto the classes

The first class I will offer will be mid September and will feature the wayyyy cute spooky house. It is glittery and lit up and adorable and the added touch is the bats flying out of the chimney. Just wait until you see it. I will have more details on the class, complete with times, cost and what you will need to bring. If you think you migh be interested please leave me a comment and e-mail me at soutofline3@yahoo.com. I can even send out kits if you want one.

The next class will be those adorable pumpkins. All supplies will be at my house except any adhesive. Be on the look out for some super fun classes coming yoour way

Remember to post a comment if this may be something you will be interested in.

Have a good day

We are back from convention

I had the time of my life and have many photos to share. Here are just a few of the make n takes we got to do during one of our classes. The one with the heart was probably my least favorite and that's just because of the colors they used for it. I like the simple design of it. The green pouch with the brown striped ribbon would be really cute made into a Halloween treat with candy on the inside. I have a whole calendar planned with I learned from convention. I am so excited t get my business back on it's feet.

Have a great day,

Susan

I will be MIA for just one more week...
