Coupons and Crafts

Blogging is not my strong suite.  Not at all.  But I will keep trying and see what I can do :-).  We are now in the waiting stage of the pregnancy.  Our bags are by the door, car seat is in the car, nursery is ready, and directions to the hospital are on the fridge! Since we are all prepared (we hope) for baby Colston to enter the world I have had some time to do fun little projects around the house! The first thing I have started to get into over the past month is couponing.  I had always used coupons here and there but never understood what you can really do with coupons! As in using a store and manufacturer coupon to get something for free! I wont bore you with the details in this post (maybe another one) but I am actually becoming a little addicted to finding deals where I can get things for free or next to nothing! I have decided that I wont put tons of effort into getting things for cheap unless we are going to use it.  For example I'm not going to put effort into clipping coupons for denture cleaner because we wont use this for a very long time hopefully.  This past week I saved $70.00 off my grocery bill and on top of that got a bunch of free things!

This is some of the free things I got this past week! Awesome right?  The shout wipes were completely free and the tape was completely free! I paid about 20 cents for the chocolate, about 50 cents for both shaving creams, about 50 cents for the tooth brushes (originally 3.99 a piece!) and about 30 cents for the tooth paste! I'm amazed! 

The other thing that has been keeping me busy is little projects around the house and I thought I would share some of them with you :-)

This is an insulated casserole carrier I sewed for a friend :-) 

This is a fun tote bag I made for myself with a purple liner! I'm really excited to put this one to use! 

I made a baby tag blanket for a friends baby girl :-) 

So we haven't posted any pictures of our new house yet because its still in need of some tlc and I'd rather show you it after we do those little projects! I figured I would show you a little project we did the other day though.  Both of our bathrooms are a little outdated (this one isn't as bad as the other one).  They are both still functional but very much stuck in the 70's.  since we can't yank out this vanity we figured we would give it some tlc.  I still want to add some art work to this bathroom, maybe some beach pictures to go with the blue counters?  

Here is the before shot

Here is the after shot...ahh much better! 

I know this was a quick little post but I figured a small update is better then no update at all.  I have a post I want to write on what we have been studying in church so possibly there will be another post tomorrow but don't bet your life on it :-) Till next time!
