Courtesy of Old El Paso and MyBlogSpark, we were able to have family taco night.
I was sent a prize pack, which included :a packet of original Old El Paso Taco Seasoning, a Cactus Chip & Dip Serving dish, a set of 3 Fiesta Chili Pepper serving dishes and a $10 gift card to purchase your taco fixings.  Photo of the prize pack:

We've not taken the time to have a family taco night in some time, and that's a shame.  We do plan to have it more often.  My daughter and I had lots of fun preparing the meal together.


Here is a photo of the table all set up:

And, another photo of others getting their plates fixed...and my daughter eating:

 I tried to do a video, however, the lighting in the kitchen isn't good.  I couldn't figure out how to save my editing.

WIP Wednesday

Good Wednesday to all.  It's time for WIP Wednesday in conjunction with Everyday Crochet.

Each Wednesday, join us by sharing your works in progress, or by checking out what others are up to.  Just click on the button at the bottom of my post to join in.

I did finish the prayer shawl and delivered it to church.
I am still reading the Capablanca Variation.   I'm also still working on orders that are going out.
Another of my works in progress is getting all of my coupons cut and sorted.   I'm still adding an item here and there to my etsy store.  I just joined to be a Fuller Brush representative, so in the progress of getting my brochures ready and reading my info pack.

In the meantime, I worked more on the rug.   I found a sheet in the closet that I had previously made some small curtains out of. 

I feel like I sewed and sewed for a few days in a row.  My mission was to get all my little squares in order on making the hot pads.  You will see in the photo that I still have just a few squares to sew....rows to sew together.....and some sewn together and pressed.

 Yesterday was the monthly sewing club at my church.  There are only a few of us who go each month.  We work on making quilts that we donate to the Domestic Violence Center.  We also do lap quilts that we send to the Good Samaritan home.  A couple of months ago one of the gals taught us how to make strip quilts.  Below you will see the one that I am working on at church.  I have a lot of fun with them.  I have just 4 more squares to sew strips on, then sew them together.  It will be 4 x 6 12 inch squares.  I brought it home to get the top completed before next month's meeting.

****In other news!  I will be hosting a giveaway starting tomorrow sponsored by Old El Paso and myblogspark, so be on the lookout for that.   Friday I will be reviewing Norah Jones' new album coming out Nov. 16.....and soon I will be reviewing the book I am reading as well.  Lots going on with me!!

Dillon's (Kroger) Shopping--70% Savings!!

Another week where my store is offering where you buy 10 of the certain items and you get an additional $5 off your order.  Woo Hoo!  You all know how I love these sales.
I purchased 30 items for a total of $15.00 off my total order.  The prices I put behind the item reflects the price after the .50 is taken off each one.  Also, remember that my store doubles coupons up to $1 total taken off.
Special items:
5-Green Giant Steamers--on sale for $1.39, used 1-$1/2 coupon, 2-.50/2 coupons as well as .50/2 from each cellfire and shortcuts-- each .69.

9-Lives dry cat food--on sale for $3.99--used $1 coupon--$2.99
3 cans of store brand wet cat food--$3 for 1
Green Giant Steamers--(this was a mistake, meant to get the smaller size)  It's all good since I saved so much, but this bag was $3.34 , so after .50 on one of the coupons used above $2.84.

So.....I used $33.59 in coupons, plus the extra $15 for a total of $48.59.
I paid $29.39.....woo hoo!!
My receipt shows that I saved 70%, but that takes in the sale prices as well as coupons.
Here is a photo, but I did forget to take the pizza back out of the freezer, or the milk out of the fridge, so they are not in the photo.
