We look forward to old and new customers checking us out.  We have a great selection of fun gifts and offer full line monogram and personalization services. 

Couponing Update

Yes, I am still couponing.  Sort of had break between Thanksgiving and New Year with all we had going on.  Now that I have new computer, printer and internet at home I up and running again.  Amazing how many more bargains I can find with the help of other couponers online!

Publix: Total Savings $39.49

Bi-Lo: Total Savings $25.05

Kroger: Total Savings $17.07

I am working again to make my savings more like 50% each week.  I hope to have a big freezer soon so I can stock up when meat is on sale.  That is what is pushing up my totals.

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2010.  We are looking forward to a great new year.  We have moved our store to new location and hope for great things. 

Frank IV is getting so big.  He will be THREE on February 2, 2010.  I still remember telling everyone the good news, arriving at the hospital, and bringing him home.  He was so tiny and now we are fighting over the potty.  Right now are challenge is the potty.  Frank does well at school and not so well at home.  We are trying to be patient and work with him and I know he will get it.  Just not on our schedules!

One of my goals is to be better at taking pictures, organizing and posting them.  I finally have the internet back at home with a new computer to work with.  I also started organizing and working in my scrapbooking area.  I finally unpacked someof the boxes from our move (Aug  2008).  I have some fun pictures and things for Brooks pulled together.  I thought Frank IV was maybe looking a little bit like Brooks but it is hard to say. 

We appreciate the support and prayers of our family.  We hope to spend more time with family this year - it costs very little and is priceless in measure!
