Pumpkin Spice Coffee Killer

Meet one of my best buds…...Mr. Keurig. I visit him often epically when I’m feeling a little sluggish. He recently introduced me to a new friend….Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Mr Keurig and Pumpkin Spice Coffee have been friends for awhile but I had no idea! Sham on Mr. Keruig for keeping a secret from me. I loved Mr Pumpkin Spice Coffee soooo much that I had to invite a bunch of his brothers and sisters to come live with me and Mr. Keurig




The Pumpkin Spice Coffee family was hard to track down! I had to visit several Bed Bath and Beyonds before I found them. They were so popular I knew I needed to invite as many as I could to come home with me.

I even bribed them with a cozy place to sleep. Little do they know they won’t last long! Shame on ME for tricking them. I hope Mr. Keurig will still be my friend after he notices the Pumpkin Spice Coffee family is no longer in existence. Shhhh......don’t say anything, no need to tell him now ;0)

Can you tell I’m procrastinating? I should be getting my garage sale goodies together. Ok back to the dungeon aka garage.

Paper Scraps

I was waiting for these to dry........

saw a bunch of paper scraps that I just couldn’t throw away......

so I cut them into strips and added some extra paper so I had 25 strips total. You know where I’m going with this right? I’m keeping it old school…..a countdown to Christmas chain? I remember making one of these when I was in elementary school.



I bagged the strips of paper up with markers and glitter glue and headed over to watch my friends little girl who by the way is also my flower girl :o)

We got the markers and glitter glue and went to town. She drew pictures of all things Christmas themed. I turned our Christmas project into a little math lesson as we counted to 25 and talked about subtraction.

After we were all done we hung the Christmas chain on the tree in her bed room and read a Christmas bedtime story. I know, I know, I skipped a holiday ;o)

I still had a few odd shaped paper scraps left so I got out the
fancy scissors and yet again the glitter glue and made some gift tags!

Spruce up your Christmas Cards

It’s that time of year when I start to pull out the old address book, get my little Christmas card station set up, and go to town. Normally there is a wide range of cards to choose from but this year I was having a hard time finding just the right card or the right price (I’m cheap remember).






I found these at Ross and purchased them for $4.99 for a box of 12; pretty good compared the $18.00 cards I really wanted. I thought they needed a little pizazz so I pulled out the glitter glue and gave them some love!

If you click on the picture you can see the glitter a little better.

It was hard to get a good picture of the glitter but it just adds a little pop and makes them fancy. Kent even commented on them which is a BIG deal because he normally doesn't notice stuff like that.

A simple a way to spruce up inexpensive Christmas cards.

Ps…If you’re on the hunt for economical Christmas cards I was in Walgreens the other day and saw some cute ones. I picked up a few boxes for myself. I believe they were $6.00 for a box of 12. They also had some that were $3.00 a box!
