Been a while

It's been a while since I've posted here. I have a few pictures that I wanted to post for a while but haven't.

First I need to start out and say I am now officially part-time!!! As of October 31, I was part-time. My first actual part time day was Friday. I was in class in the morning and then at noon I was done for the day. I walked home, since I figured I could beat the bus home and I was right. It took about 15 minutes. The exercise is a good thing. :) I figure as long as it's not too cold or snowy I will walk home when I'm done at noon or 1 and when I work at noon or 1. My back-up plan is to take the bus. This next week I 1 1/2 days only! Plus I'm off Thursday, Friday, and Monday and don't have to take any PTO. I'm so looking forward to being part time and being able to take care of the house and Jason more. :)

The other day I was really wishing that I had a fall looking table cloth, napkins, and placemats. I didn't want to spend the money to buy one, and figured that I would just use my black & white one a little longer. Jason was upstairs cleaning out the extra bedroom, which turned into the storage room and pulled out a box. In it was the tablecloth that you see below with matching napkins! What perfect timing! I also pulled out my fall decorations. I haven't added anything to them, so the same as last year. I really like the small pumpkin on the kitchen table.















I made a couple of *very* simple cards for a wedding and for my niece's birthday. Jason said that she really liked her card and her favorite gift seemed to be the chapter book we gave her. She is just getting into chapter books and I got her a Junie B. Jones book.
















This week we went grocery shopping. I managed to get a couple of really good deals. For $6.88 I got 4 Pillsbury cake mixes and 4 Pillsbury frosting's, 1 jar of Jiff Peanut Butter and 1 box of Hungry Jack Pancake mix. I thought that was pretty good. Hy-vee had a great deal going on, where if you bought 10 products on a page, you got $5 off. Plus I used other coupons to get it lower. I'm planning on going back to do this one more time. Since I got more coupons. Ma you need any cake mixes??? :D

While we were at the store, I seen a whole row of pink cans. I thought they looked so cool I had to take a picture. I really think I embarrassed Jason this time. But I had to. How often do you see pink and white soup cans???













Jason and I also went to Target and other places today to get some Christmas shopping done. While at Target, there were some awesome clearance sales 75-90% off in the linen area. I can't tell you exactly what all we got, but if you have a Target it is WELL worth the time to go and look. We left there spending under $20 and with a cart full of stuff.

Let's see, I went to the Scrapbooking retreat last weekend and had a blast!!! I still need to take pictures of the altered stuff that I made, and need to finish up a couple projects. Expect pictures soon.

Oh and my business cards arrived!!!! They look AWESOME. WELL worth the money. I love them. They are perfect.
