I didn't get me photos scanned! *cries*

Hello!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!Mine was ok but I am a little bummed out that I didn’t get a few things done that I had on my to do list.

Today I had plans that I was going to get the rest of my photo scanning done! However that didn’t happen.Instead the busy day I planned turned into a lazy day. I didn’t get anything done.The weather was yucky so I mostly just laid around with the kids watching TV.I am really trying to get all these photos to cd but when I start looking at how many we have I get overwhelmed and give up!

I will admit I am really looking into photo scanning services and just let someone else deal with it!I really don’t want to pay someone to do something I can do at home and FOR FREE but how it’s going now I will never get it done! I have so many things going on and adding new projects everyday to that list it just makes better sense to get it done instead of stressing about it.

Fashion Undercover

I found a new online company based out of San Diego called Fashion Undercover. Fashion Undercover celebrates Global Fusion in its clothing and accessories, a symphony of myriad elements and influences from the East to the West. Realizing that the world is a small and fragile place, Fashion Undercover seeks to bridge cultural divides by introducing world style, and specifically an eastern sensibility, into the mainstream fashion marketplace by providing bohemian clothing

Bohemian dresses are inspired by the richness of Eastern artistic heritage, and interpreted in rich fabrics, fresh colors and fine embroidery details to give you a garment that is truly unique. I also like that the Kurtis fuses a contemporary western sensibility with the traditional garment making crafts of the east.

I will admit this is not my style but they really have some cute things that I could work with and the jewelry they carry is beautiful!

More On my remodeling projects

I am always doing some kind of home remodeling and with the spring coming I really am thinking about doing more outside this year. I have been thinking about new vinyl siding and replacement windows that are more

I am trying to budget so I have been looking for manufacturers in Mexico and hopefully will find it at a better price. Mexico manufacturing significantly reduce and controls your direct and indirect labor costs. With the Economy the way it is now, I have to make sure I am saving all I can. A Local company That I used before has decided to move and start manufacturing in Mexico now to reduce labor cost by half or more so the savings is also passed on to the consumer.

I am hoping to have all my Remodeling done by the time the market picks up so I can sale my house and add more value to it.

So are you doing any Remodeling? I would love to hear all about your projects!

Home Makeover 2010! SHOP SMART!

I will so be getting a brand new stainless steel refrigerator which you will be reading all about it very soon! However that is only the first of the many items I will need as I remodel my Kitchen and living room for 2010! Now that Christmas Shopping is over with, and I have time to dedicate to my projects. It is important that I am financially conservative. With a list that might include a new microwave, countertops, and additional furniture it is imperative that I find the best shopping deals before I spend any money.

The One advantage of a slow economy is that it is a buyer’s market. As fewer people are splurging for anything outside of the essentials, this is an ideal time to find some juicy deals if you are willing to hunt around a little bit for the best bargain. The first step is to extensively compare shopping prices of several different places online before you go out and buy anything. After you have finished your research and have an idea of what price you are willing to play ,don’t be afraid to try and negotiate a better price with a store if you think you can swing a lower deal. This can be especially effective if you can show them that a competitor of theirs has a similar product on sale at a lower price. It never hurts to ask! I have done my homework, and now I am on to item number 2, which is a Juicer that I promised the kids I would get them! I will be doing my homework to find the best available price as I just mentioned. It is a buyer’s market right now; don’t be afraid or too lazy to find the best deal out there!

K’NEX Product Review

The K’NEX Sesame Street 1-2-3 Brownstone Building Set is another favorite product of mine because it combines learning with fun! It is designed for ages 2-5, and is packed with over 40 parts including your child’s favorite sesame street characters such as Ernie, Elmo, and the Cookie Monster as you design the 1-2-3 Brownstone with all the details. My Daughter enjoyed putting together her favorite characters and creating her very own Sesame Street in our Living room. I am real big on products that combine learning with fun activities and this seems to be a priority of the Set. Each set comes with a “play and learn” activity sheet that keeps the fun rolling with new and creative ideas on how your child can put the parts together to make new designs and creations. The nature of putting things together seems to appeal to all kids so this is a perfect holiday gift for both boys and girls and at a price of $20.99, it is very reasonably priced For a product with so many options and fun activities.





The K’NEX 400 Piece Value Tub is set to give Lego’s a run for their money! With over 400 pieces and easy Step by Step instructions on how to build everything from trucks to motorcycles to bridges the fun and opportunities with this set are limitless. Once again the premium is set on learning and engaging your child in creative interactions as they put together up to 32 different models in a host of themes. For all us Mommy’s out there concerned with clean rooms and even quicker clean up, the plastic storage tub will keep all the pieces in one place and allow the fun to be moved from room to room quickly. Designed for ages 7 and up, this is also a perfect holiday gift for the little builder in your family, and at $21.99 offers hours upon hours of fun at a reasonable price!

Pleated Curtains

IF you read My last post you see that I am up looking at curtains. I am needing some new ones in the living room and dinning room. Since we redid the house I currently only have blinds up. With the winter I like to have curtains up to block the cold air from coming in.

I found these Pleated Curtains that i like But they don't look "dressy enough" for me. I would Get The chocolate of course for the living room and the Beige for the dinning room since those are the main colors I am using right now.

I like that they...

• Protect your home decor with insulated thermal blackout curtains ( What I am looking for)


• Soft window treatment provides noise reduction and privacy


• Curtains are ideal for late sleepers, shift workers, seniors and students( Yup THAT WOULD BE PERFECT IN THIS HOUSE)


• $62.99

I also Like these Pleated Curtains

I hate finding something that I love and just be let down by not having it in my size or color!!

Now these Outdoor curtains create scenic views inside! Add depth and color to any room with four majestic designs. Beautifully replaces regular, drab curtains and brings to your home all the wonder of an outdoor view both you and guests alike can admire. Use with standard window or sliding glass doors

Now this Outdoor curtain Pictured below Adds a little shade and a lot of atmosphere to your porch or patio with our new Outdoor Grommet Drape. Woven from weather-resistant, 100% spun polyester in a cool, natural-colored fabric. Slide the drape smoothly on its stainless steel grommets to block out sun. Tiebacks. I could see using this type over the other one.
