Savings of 92% at CVS today

You may not know, but Lou and I are on the Dave Ramsey plan. If you don't know who he is, it's defintely worth a google. We took his class at our church. Our plan is to be debt free and live that way for the rest of our lives.

It's almost like taking on another job to be a couponer, but let me tell you, it is worth it. I have more in my pantry and in toiletries than we can ever use. Such abundance will allow me to donate our excess to worthy charities or missions and it was either free or pennies on the dollar! I'm not exagerating.

Two of my favorite sites are www.hotcouponworld.com and www.southernsavers.com. I learn alot from ladies who are much more shrewd than me and save a ton allowing us to pay down our debt and allow me to continue to work part-time, at least until my daughter graduates.

I hope to get some scrapping in later. I got some great photos at the fireworks last night at our friend's house. They are posted on my facebook page.

I'm about to hit my two favorite websites with my grocery list and coupons. I usually save at least over 1/2 my bill with coupons. Now mind you, these items are already on sale so I'm saving even more on top of that.

Some recent layouts

Shame on me for not blogging since February 11th! OMG! Blogging is my favorite. I can say whatever I want and people have to listen...well, read it!

I went through a long dry spell of scrapping. The creativity was sapped. It was really weird. I think it was related to getting my son to graduation! OH YES! And he did, so WOOHOOOOOO! Stress both good and bad!

I miss checking out my blogging friends and stuff. I've been facebooking. Not the same as blogging. I really need to do both.

I do have pics to share for project 365 as well. Later I guess!

Project 365 February

So far I have managed to get a picture everyday. Some of them are not so great, but it's all the in the process. Here is a preview of some of my fav's for the month: Snow sky on our 2nd snow day of the year. Hard to believe we got 2 snow days as it hasn't snowed in seven years before that!
My Carolina Moon photo! Carolina is famous for it's moon! I had to take this photo last night. It was so beautiful.


I'm kind of burned out on scrapping now. I guess my marathon scrap weekend stole all my creative juices. Boohoo!

Work has been working me to death lately. But that is not a complaint as I am not bored. Just tired when I come home. But I'll take that any day over boredom.

Our weather has been fantastic recently. Low 70's and no humidity. Perfect for this time of year. I know it is just a teaser, but I love having the fresh air with the windows open and the doors open!

January Photos

Here are some of my January photos for Project 365. Now I just need to do their scrapbook page. Some are taken with my camera and some are simply taken with my iPhone. My goal for February is to take one photo every day. I think I can handle that for 28 days. Let's hope so!
By the way, a little excitment in my running career. I've hit 3 miles outside! WOOHOO! Running outside is completely different from the treadmill. I'm very excited!

The lo I made today

Again, too lazy to post digi credits, but pop on over to CottageArts if you like these goodies! LOL!
I have taken my picture for project 365 today, but it's on my camera.

Update

Where have I been? Over on FB! Not ignoring blogger, just hooking up with friends I have not heard from in ages. That is alot of fun.
Right now I am at a yearly crop scrapping my brains out.
I am posting a few of my lo's here today. I am not posting credits. They are all from designers I scrap for so please just click on their clickable links if you see something you like. It is sheer laziness. OK!
And, my friend, Missy, has me convinced to do Project 365 - taking a photo a day for a year. We'll see how successful that is. So far I do have two! HAHAHA! Actually three, but I'm going to try and do better.

Angels on the Moon and Balance

Ali Edwards got me thinking last year about a word for the year, which I did for 2008. My word for 2009 is: BALANCE. That is my goal, my new year's resolution, my mantra. GOD, family, health, work.

For some reason the song "Angels on the Moon" speaks to me about this. I'm not sure why. It's by Thriving Ivory and was a featured FREE video at iTunes. I'm so glad it was because I am in love with this song.

Angels On The Moon

Do you dream, that the world will know your name
So tell me your name
Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside said I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
Just To know I'm alive

I wanna live, just to see the day when we all get along
I wanna scream, scream my song out loud for everyone to hear
Do you believe, in the day that you were born tell me do you believe
And Do you know, that everydays the first for the rest of your life

And oh Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

And you know the pain, that brought you here today so what can you do
And you know the tears, for loosing those you love when yesterdays gone
So please remember, not to waste another day not to worry your mind
And please frogive me, for taking so much time to get back on my feet

And oh yeah Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

And I'll fight it out cause I know I can
I won't sleep tight cause I know your here no no
I won't surrender

This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us, is to all of us

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon

And don't tell me if I'm dying no
Don't tell me if I'm dying
And Don't tell me cause I'm dying
