Play Day!!

It's been a while since I've made any jewelry, and today while I was supposed to be cleaning/organizing my craft room, I got sidetracked and made these. Nothing fancy, but I had fun!


DENIM DAYS...although it's very hard to tell, this is made up of various shades of blue beads.




SUMMER SUNSET...made with citrine, peach colored moonstone, czech glass, and 2 small red glass beads. These are my favorite colors!!



Did I get any cleaning done? NOPE!! Do I care? NOPE!! It'll still be there when I get ready to have a go at it again. Life's too short...have yourself a "play day".


Do you like them? I'd love any feedback on them.

Meijer & Kroger Matchups 4/5 - 4/11

Making out my grocery list for the week and thought I'd share a few good deals with ya! This is by no means all that Kroger's and Meijer has on sale this week. This is just what we'll be picking up along with some meat, veggies, and a Sugardale boneless ham from Meijer for $1.79/lb.

MEIJER: (I am under the impression that you can stack Meijer's Mealbox Coupons (MBQ) with a Manufacturer Coupon (MQ). I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether our Meijer does that or not.)

• Velveeta $4.49 - $1 MBQ = $3.49 - $0.55/1 MQ (dbld) = $2.49!
• Campbell's cream of soups 4/$3 - $1/4 MBQ = 4/$2 - $1/2 IP (I printed 2 but I think this one has already reached it's print limit.) = FREE!
• Ziploc bags 2/$4 - $1/2 MBQ = 2/$3 - (2) 0.40/1 MQ (dbld) = 0.70/each!
• Johnsonville breakfast sausage 2/$4 - $1/1 MQ in 4-5-09 = $1 each! (I will be picking up 4 of the patties and 4 of the links on this trip.)
• Milk $1.99
• Bounty paper towels $1 each use $1 MQ from $120 P&G book = free I don't normally buy paper towels, but I won't turn down free ones.
• Mott's applesauce 46-48 oz jar 4/$7 or $1.75 each - (2) 0.55/1 IP dbld - 1 MBQ = 0.50 for 2 jars.
• Aunt Millie's bread 2/$3 - 0.35 MQ in recent insert (dbld) = 0.80/loaf

Kroger:

• Folger's coffee $4.99 - $1 MQ in 4-5 insert...not sure right off which one it was, but it's there. = $3.99 (This is "MY" big score this week. I'll be picking up "at least" 6 cans!)

• 10 lb bag potatoes $1.99
