Getting to Know Me

This is just a quick "getting to know me" video.

I'd love to hear about your coffee and/or tea preferences.

Cute Easter Wreath for less than $10

I made a cute little wreath using supplies from Dollar Tree.  I came in at $9 in supplies (with some of them leftover for a future project).

Cook with Me -- Chicken Fajitas

We tried a new to use chicken fajita sauce and it was a hit.  I found it at Aldi.  Even my daughter loved it, which is saying something.

Cream of Whatever Soup

Carol, sorry it took so long.  On a good note, I've finished both my classes this week.  I'm slowly working on catching up on the rest of my commitments.


An easy how-to for making any kind of creamy soup you would like for use in casseroles

Frugal Happenings for the Last Week of February

Maybe I should entitle this true confessions....lol

1.  I used the dryer one day.  Yeah, I know.  It's been that kind of week.
2.  We ate whatever I could pull together.  We didn't go out and pick anything up though.
3.  I went to Michaels, but I did use coupons to get the best price on what I was after.
4.  I ordered a couple of summer dresses from ThredUp.  (very pleased by the way)

None of that was particularly frugal, but I had some positives come out of this week.

1.  I made an A in both my classes. (98 in one and what I think will be around a 97 in the other)
2.  I picked back up my hand projects.
3.  I had guests over for the first time in a while.
4.  I tried a new to me sauce for a recipe.
5.  I took advantage of some sale prices on my Sam's Club order.
6.  I made friends with a possum.....

and no number 6 wasn't just to see if you were still reading.  I really have.  He comes up to my patio to eat.  He doesn't run when I talk to him or anything.  Just kind of sits there and happily munches.

Feels so good!

It feels so good to have yarn back in my hands.

I'm about 7 rows from finishing the white shawl.
