Sunday Washington Post Cost increased to $2

Coupons, Newspapers, Uncategorized
This weekend I stopped at Bottom Dollar Food to get some groceries which I will write a post about later. When I got there I planned to picking up an additional copy of the Washington Post.  However, the cost is $2!  Wow!   I was surprised.  I wasn't sure if it was the store or the the paper.  They had a double deal sitting there so I lucked out and picked that up.  It turned out to be $3! Here is an article about the change in price for the Sunday Washington Post. Effective Dec. 13, the newsstand price for its Sunday paper will go from $1.50 to $2 in Washington. I now need to check my bill and find out how much they are charging me for home delivery.   I…

Calligraphy Project – Christmas Cards and Wedding Invitations

DIY, general, Uncategorized
Besides starting Christmas shopping and finishing up Thanksgiving turkey, in the evenings I've been working on practicing my Calligraphy for a family member's wedding invitations. Here is an example of my Calligraphy version of "Virginia".  It's funny how words look odd after you look at them for a long period of time.   As I practice, I'm also writing my addresses for my Christmas cards.  Might as well!  Practice makes perfect. I found to be really helpful if you are interested in learning Calligraphy to watch the following videos. Videos: Writing Complete Words in Cursive Italic Image: Discoverahobby.com

Coupons, CVS, Shopping deals, Shopping Trips, Uncategorized
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving.  I'm so thankful for my family, friends and my health.   Going into the Holiday season remember that you don't have to do it all and take only one day at a time. I made a couple stops at CVS this last week, but didn't have a chance to post all of them until now. I'm going to apologize that my pictures are blurry because I'm trying to take pictures with my new camera phone (more about that in a later post).  You have to be really really still.  Being a Mom to a toddler being "still" is difficult.
