Well it's back to work for me today! I did actually work yesterday re-doing the plaid beads I talked about in my previous post! The other ones were too big apparently so I had to re-do them! Man, it's hard using hair thin stringers (thin "sticks" of glass) to put on a bead and straight no less! I was so sore by the end of the day because I had to tense up and hold my breath when I was applying the stringers! Hope ya'll had a great Thanksgiving! We had our grandson, son and and his girlfriend...

....so have to work today! I have a special order for 20 plaid beads. Kill me now! I don't mind doing the special orders but I've gotten away from doing the plaids so I'm a little out of practice! Hubby and I went to Olive Garden last and I had a $4 q off 2 entrees. We both were pretty happy this time with the food! He had the Steak Tuscano and I had the Chicken Niocchi (sp?)something and they were both very good! Fattening but good! Looks like we are going to go to...

I love to get mail, most of the time! Today's mail brought me a perfume sample, a trial size Advance White toothpaste, 3 coupons from Lindsay Olive company and 2 great coupon trades, one from a wonderful lady here and one from a friend in the glass world! I love to get free samples! I have a great friend that just moved away to the Shreveport area and she was just getting into couponing because of me! We were going to do this together but now we'll have to do it by email and phone! :frown:....

Well let's give this a try! I will try to update this frequently (I can't even keep my website blab page updated! LOL! ) I'm fairly new back to the couponing game, I did this years ago before the internet, where you had to hand write out all those rebate forms! Ugh! I love getting good deals and with the way things are going right now, I've got to save anywhere I can! In the last 2 big shopping trips, we have managed to save almost $100 out of a little over $400. I know, not that impressive...
