FREE SHIPPING

Joy over at Just Plain Joy shared a great website on Friday and I just had to pass it on. The website is: http://freeshipping.org It lists free shipping offers for tons of stores. If you do any shopping online it is worth a visit to see if there are any offers. I spent this afternoon getting a bunch of my Christmas shopping done and I didn't have to leave the house! Here are some of the free shipping offers I took advantage of: Amazon...for toys (at half price!) and movies American Girl...for gift certificates JC Penney...for braided rugs (ok not a present this one is for me) LL Bean...for flannel nightgown and slippers Old Navy...for gift certificates Victorias Secret...for PINK flannel pj's, slippers, travel blanket set and a cool gold tote. I think I may be back on this week looking for more free shipping deals before Christmas and for sure I will be using this site in the future. I just love saving money! Thanks for sharing this site with us Joy!

More Vintage Finds

I thought I would post some pictures of some of the things I found on my visits to the antique malls over the past few weeks. A pretty little pillowslip: A sweet tablerunner:

A beautiful embroidered sheet: Some pretty dresser scarves: This one is so cute: And some towels I will share the Christmas items in another post. I hope you enjoyed looking at them as much as I enjoyed shopping for them.

Found A Picture

This the only picture I was able to get of the three kids together. Well the only one where you can see all of their faces at the same time. Believe me I tried all week but this is the best I could do.

Both girls jumped in the playpen with the baby...he wasn't very happy. Not their best picture. We are supposed to get Chistmas pictures this weekend. Maybe a professional will have better luck but I have my doubts.

Whew!

I can't believe it I am all alone tonight! My three grandkids and my youngest are all staying at my sisters tonight. Thank you Kathleen!!! Their mom won't be home until tomorrow night but I need to work tomorrow and let's face it I need a break. Those three wore me out! I tried to get some pictures but they won't all stay still at the same time! They are like little tornadoes going in different directions all at the same time. Well I got a chance to sit down and read some of my favorite blogs tonight and I was able to say hey to a few of you. I was inspired by Tracy over at Notes From A Cottage Industry to have a Christmas Cookie exchange this year. Tracy is having a Virtual Cookie Exchange.

If you haven't been to Tracy's blog you need to go there right away. She is so talented; I just love her syle.

For my Cookie Exchange I'm going to invite my mom, sisters, sisters in laws, ex sistera in laws (makes parties more interesting) and nieces to get dressed up for Christmas (maybe Christmas PJ's?) and join me for the exchange. I have a couple of weeks off before Christmas so I will schedule it then and we will have our first annual Christmas Cookie exchange!

Sounds yummy.

Well I think my bedding is finally dry (my room smelled like an out house after the kids slept in there all week) I'm going to snuggle between my clean sheets and sleep all night without being woke up for a bottle, kicked by little feet, having my pillow and covers taken or getting peed on!

Sounds like heaven!

Monday Simple Womas Journal

~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* FOR TODAY December 1, 2008... Outside My Window... actually my daughters kitchen window. light snow; just enough to cover the ground and so pretty. I am thinking... about how much work I need to get done today. I am thankful for... babies morning naps. From the kitchen... not sure what I will make the kids tonight. I guess I will make some soup to keep us all warm. I am wearing... don't laugh but I'm still in my pj's...red plaid flannel pants and a grey t-shirt. I am creating... I think I will cut out some paper snow flakes with the kids when Hailey gets home from school at noon and we will tape them to the windows. Jayda says mommy won't let her use scissors so grandma will let her use them today. I am going... only place today is to pick Hailey up from school and then back here. I am reading... lots of bedtime stories this week. I am hoping... that I'm not too crabby with the kids this week. I am hearing... Dora on the tv. Around the house... I am going to catch up some laundry for Rachel since I'm at her house today. One of my favorite things... the deer outside the window this morning in the snow. A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: keeping up with the grandkids; getting some work done. Here is picture thought I am sharing... ~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
