Frugal Friday With Marsha -- Still Working
It's been a week of still working to organize and de-clutter the house. I've made some changes, but mostly I've worked on putting things where they actually belong, even if that place is the trash!
So much that I wanted to get done before traveling with hubby next week and being gone an entire week, but time is not on my side most days.
We did a lot better at getting leftovers eaten at meals this past week, but not quite good enough. I had to throw away a large container of chicken alfredo because I didn't get it put into the freezer for later. Quite a shame to get good food go to waste, and definitely not frugal!
Speaking of food, here is this week's Friday Freebie:
Free Ocean Spray Diet or Light Juice for Kroger & Affiliates
I'm slacking in getting freebies sent for to fill my mailbox. I sent for a few things this morning that you might want to check out for yourself as well:
Free Sample of Sephora Collection Clay Mask
Free Animal Rights Stickers
Free Sample of Tameology Shampoo & Conditioner
I've not paid attention to TopCashBack before today when I seen this offer:
TopCashback - Free Ozark Trail Folding Chair
I may have messed up because I went ahead and clicked the cash back from Swagbucks when the page came up. I'm sure we can't "double dip". I guess I will know soon enough. I will just know not to activate Swagbucks in the future.
We are taking our annual family camping trip the first weekend of August, so either way, we needed a chair of our own.
Here is something else you might want to check out....all the freebies available this weekend for Father's Day!

WIP Wednesday -- Little Done
It's just not been good for me, time wise, to get much sewing done.
I tried one day to get out my sewing machine, but an 8 month old that is now pulling himself up, and my machine on the table, just doesn't mix.
I am always working off and on on filling in the plastic canvas squares for the jingle bell blocks, but I don't want to take a picture until I have my whole pile filled in.
At sit n' sew I did a little more work towards completing the blocks on my Arkansas Crossroads quilt. No picture as it wasn't enough to warrant one.
Instead, I spent most of the sit n' sew time putting the borders on my Zipped Kitties.
Otherwise the only thing that I did this past week was to cut up a panel with horses to make into pillows. These will go to church for the youth to stuff, and then donated to the police and fire department.
Next week I am going out of town for the week with hubby. My plan is to sew while he's at work and work on my computer stuff in the evenings when he is sleeping. I have projects packed to finish....items to be listed in my Etsy shop. However, I find myself wanting to take a couple of other projects that I can at least progress on. I guess next week's post will tell you what I decided LOL.
In the meantime, I link up with the following blogs. I do hope you will check each of them out.
