Everyone Loves Some Savings!

So I have to share with you my deals I got last week. I signed up to get emails from Old Navy and Target and well that may have not been the best thing but sometimes it is amazing!! They really put out some great deals!

So Old Navy sent one out that if you spent $50 you got $15 off and I also had an old gift card that I got for Christmas, that I never used, so I walked out paying $20 for a pair of jeans and an awesome shirt!! I call that a great deal! I mean yes there are better deals but if I can spend $20 for an entire outfit, count me in!

Now onto Target. I signed up for their Redcard a few months ago and it is awesome! I get coupons in the mail all. the. time! Oh and they are great deals. Plus when I use my Redcard I get 5% off every purchase and free shipping when shopping online. You cant beat that. So I was able to walk out of Target with an awesome pair of flats and only paying $10.

It is a pretty simple outfit but can easily be dressed up with some heels and/or a jacket and scarf. I love love love my new green flats. I have worn them everyday since I got them. Oh and sorry for the poor quality of the pic. I have little to no lighting in my room. Quite annoying! 

Old Navy is having a sale right now...

Also if you are interested in the Target Redcard you can check them out online. I have the debit card where the money comes directly from my bank account. It is not a credit card!!

Warning: Mouth Watering Information Ahead!

Seriously!! I still cant believe that we are almost half way through March. Where does the time go? I must admit, I am super excited for some spring weather! I do love me some winter, but we have had a looonnnng one here and I am ready for it to go some where else!

So with that being said Easter is right around the corner. Isn't that crazy? Talk about another thing that is creeping up on me! Well to give me some credit, Easter is super early this year so I have a right to freak out just a bit.

Our church, Parkway Christian Center (there is a link to click on over to the right), does an Easter egg/bonbons fundraiser each year. First let me tell you, this is no slack job. Our church has been doing these for years and years and they have definitely perfected the craft. They are absolutely delicious! Also we have some talented ladies that will write names on the eggs. I know!!! Perfect Easter basket accessory!

I am telling you, these things are amazing and they come in so many different flavors! Ok here are your choices and try and not let the drool drip down your chin: butter cream, peanut butter, chocolate cream, coconut, chocolate mocha, and fruit & nut. Totally mouth watering!! The eggs are 1/2 lb of awesomeness and you can get the bonbons in 1/2 lb assorted or one flavor.

So if you want to order these delicious eggs or bonbons you can visit http://pcc-va.com/easter-eggs/. On there you can place your order online or you can print out the order form from there as well.

I promise you will not be disappointed!!!

Crazy Love: Chapter 4

Hello!! Its time to move onto the next chapter.

Here are first three statements that stood out to me. There are plenty more! I encourage you get the book and take a look. This chapter definitely spoke to me more than any other.

1. Lukewarm people attend church fairly regularly. It is what is expected of them, what they believe "good Christians" do, so they go.

2. Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church...as long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. If they have a little extra and it is easy and save to give, they do so. After all, God loves a cheerful giver, right?

3. Lukewarm people tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church; they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.

Take a look at the video for this chapter.



What spoke to you about this chapter?

Its Time to Get Minky!

So I am back! I took yesterday off from blogging to finish my first sewing project for March. I am so excited about it. If those who actually follow us know, I was supposed to give y'all a look at this project last week but it went terribly wrong. I tried something this time that I have never done and last week turned into a trial run. I am almost done with it and I am gonna share some pictures with you now. I actually ran out of thread last night with less than 1/2 a yard to sew. Talk about being a tad bit angry. Yea that was me at about 10:30 last night!

So if you are wondering what my project was here is a taste...

For those of you who belong to the sewing world, you know what this picture is! But for those of you that do not, these are called sewing bundles. Bundles are numerous amounts of different patterned fabrics that all go together in some way. They make sewing a quilt/patchwork blanket much easier. 

So there you have it! Project number one was a quilt. Well I don't know if it technically can be called a quilt so lets go with a patchwork minky blanket. I just started making minky blankets when my best friend Michelle had her baby this past fall, so you would definitely call me a newbie. 

Here are four of the fabrics that I used. I actually added two more fabrics to make the blanket a bit bigger but forgot to get a picture of all six together. 

I didn't realize that a iron was involved until I You Tubed "Beginner Quilt Making." I will attach the video at the end so that all of you will see that exact steps I took in making this blanket. 

After I was done sewing the fabric together I attached it to the minky. So here is the almost finished product.

It may be a bit rough around the edges and every crease and corner may not line up perfectly, but I LOVE IT!! Isn't she beautiful?!?!? Well I think she is and I couldn't be happier with the finished product.

I hope momma and baby like the blanket as much as I do :)

Here is the video on exactly how I put the squares together. This lady makes quilting so easy to understand. After hours of searching for the perfect video, hers was the best. Hope you enjoy!

Parent Trap, I Mean Parent Rap!

OK so I know some of you may have seen this video but I think it is amazingly hilarious! It definitely brought a smile to this mommas face on this Tuesday! Hope it makes you smile as well.

Remember Friday is only 4 days away!!

 

Maxi Issues

So this week I am trying to fix my mess of a sewing project and will definitely have pictures for you by the end of the week but now onto fabric issues. I am trying to figure out what fabric I will use for my maxi skirts! Seriously! There are so many different patterns, I am about to go crazy! Do I want a pattern, stripes, or a solid color? These are the serious issues in my life people! 

Who knows! I may end up making all of them!! We shall see!! I am absolutely in love with the patterned one. Now my search is on to find the perfect fabric!
