My Sunday Fun Day: 8-31-2014

Sunday was a fun day!  Me and my son went to breakfast then headed to church.  After church we stopped by Verizon.  We then headed to Michaels for some shopping.  After Micheals we then headed to the movies and saw "When The Game Stands Tall".  That movie had me crying.  Have you'll seen it?  What are your reactions or thought?

Anyway!  After the movies we went to eat at Golden Corral then we headed home.

I am especially delighted about my "Michaels haul".  I spent $73.63.  I saved $15.37 using 2 coupons; a 50% off one items and a $20 off the total purchase.  I got 4 12x12 paper packs and 1 12x12 paper pad by Simple Stories (2 qty), My Mind's Eye (1 qty), and Heidi Swapp (2 qty). I got 5 Recollections dimensional border stickes on clearance for $.99 that are an Easter and Birthday theme.  I racked up on some other $.99 Recollections dimensional stickers that are cameras, butterflies, word titles/bubbles, cupcakes, and doodling designs.  I got 2 packs of Jolee's circus dimensional stickers for $1.99; on clearance.  I got 2 packs of Michaels flowers (blooming petals and botanical flora).  I got some Heidi Swapp goodies that were 40% off:  1 pack of sheer stickers, 3 packs of outline stickers, 2 packs of themed cards, and 2 packs of banners.  I got some American Crafts die-cut wood cards on clearance for $1.49.  I got 3 Darice acrylic gem border strips.  Lastly, I got 2 packs of Recollections congrats and 2014 dimensional stickers for $.99 each on clearance. 

I really racked up in the clearance section you'll!  And that was my Michaels haul!

Sketch N Scrap's Sketch # 50

Here is my 3rd layout that I created as part of the Design Team at Sketch N Scrap.  I chose to scrap my brother and his 2 handsome sons (my nephews) using a yummy prize I won from My Mind's Eye in 2013.  The MME Cupid's Arrow collection is so yummy that this week I ordered it when Scrapbook.com was offering free shipping.  You'll will see more of Cupid's Arrow soon.  Anyway, here is the yummy SNS sketch #50 (http://www.sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/2014/02/sketch-50.html)  and my take of the sketch.

Here is some New Years inspiration c/o Sketch N Scrap.

I am a My Mind's Eye Feb. Sketch Challenge Winner.

I accomplished alot today 3-4-2013 on my off day.  After I dropped Little Handsome off at school, I went and had breakfast at Chick-fil-a.  I then went and filled out an application for Little Handsome to have a birthday swim party at the end of the month.  I got my eyebrows waxed.  I got an oil change.  I went shopping at Michael's and Hobby Lobby.  I bought birthday party stuff from Party City, Dollar Tree and Target.  I went to the grocery store.  Then I went to pick up Little Handsome from after care.  I sent out Evites for Little Handsome's swim party.  Then when I went and looked at Facebook I saw a post from MME that mentioned that I was the Feb. Sketch Challenge Winner.  MME really added the cherry on top of a very productive and good day.  Thanks MME for picking my layout.
