30 Day Photo Challenge: Days 6 through 10

Day 6: Childhood memory - My grandpa worked at the post office during a holiday season when I was little. He would bring home mail that couldn't get delivered with stamps on the envelope and we would soak it in water to remove the stamps for my collection.

Day 7: Something new - 2012! This is actually my roommate's calendar, free from giving blood.

Day 8: Technology - My new favorite app, the Starbucks app! It has all the gift cards I've registered. The current screen shows my gold card, "touch to use" for payment.

Day 9: Selfless portrait - Just me jumping in my cute boots.

Day 10: Something I made - Theses are decorations for my roommate's double baby shower this Sunday, one of her cousin's is having a girl and the other is having a boy!

30 Day Photo Challenge: Days 1 through 5

Found this old 30 day photo challenge from pinterest and decided to do it! Hoping it'll force me to get use to taking a picture everyday!

Day 1: self portrait

Me!

Day 2: what i wore

New purple dress from Banana Republic (thank you Evan!)

Day 3: clouds

I live in AZ and clouds are scarce. This is actually this morning (more like day 5) at 7:20am, on my way to work, so yes I'm driving. 

Day 4: favorite color

Purple!!! Necklace from New York & Co (also thanks for Evan!)

Day 5: someone i love

Evan! He's doing his favorite thing... watching tv!

More to come... if I keep up with it!

Neutrogena Products!

Bought lots of Neutrogena products today since there's a $10 rebate if you buy more than $30! I bought a moisturizer, cleanser, two packs of makeup remover, eye liner, concealer, and two eye shadows.

 Eight items and I used eight coupons! The eye shadows were on the clearance, makeup was buy one get one 50% off, and the facial mosturizers and cleansers were 25% off.

Gift Card Holders

Here's a creative way to give a gift card, make it into a snow globe!

Needed: a mason jar, some little ornaments, liquid gyclerin, glitter and ribbon.

Hot glue the gift card to the lid. Let it sit overnight. Don't worry, the gift card comes off pretty easily later on.

Put everything in the mason jar, close it with the lid.

Add a ribbon, shake it up and flip it upside down. 

Ta da... done!

Root Deer!

Evan and Bryon's favorite drink is root beer and we usually have the fancy in the bottle root beer when we go on trips. This Christmas, we're spending it in Flagstaff, so I thought it'd be cute to dress up our root beer into root DEER!

Need: Brown pipe cleaners, eyes, red noses! 

...And you get six cute root deers!

Holiday Ornaments

Made some scrabble tiled ornaments as presents. Six names took me two Scrabble games (too many Ys and Cs)...

They are also magnets so you can use them year round.

Here's all of them!



Walgreens Goodies!

Lots of goodies for low low prices...

It's been awhile so these are rough prices.

The big blue box of Puffs was free with two Vicks products. The cold medicine was $2 per box.

Pantene shampoos were all $1 each. Head and Shoulders was $2.

The Lysol wipes were $1.25 each, bought 4. Other Puff tissues were $.65 per box and I bought like 12, gave lots away. Charmin 6 packs were about $2.50 each.

Not pictured... Made $2 from 2 Colgate Total toothpastes for Evan's parents and made $.75 from floss for Evan.

Basically, Evan doesn't need to buy anything himself anymore. Yesterday he mentioned he needed Axe deodorant (he's picky about what kind), so today I went and got him his deodorant for $3.79 - $1 coupon - $1 RR = $1.79.

That's all for now!
