Blog Post In Which I Do Not Try For a Snappy Title...

On Friday, I opened my paper to find my husband on the front page...

Yep...I can recognize him from any angle after 30 years!  LOL  Love you, Andrew!  ❤

Also, on Friday, I received a phone call regarding a "For Sale" sign that I had put up in my favorite quilt store.  Since moving up to my Hinterberg 3-roller floor quilt frame that Andy got me for my birthday last year, I decided to sell my Grace floor hoop.

A quilter had seen my "For Sale" sign and wanted to buy it!!  So on Saturday I drove over to the quilt store to meet the lady and make the sale.

While there I went in to chat with Janet, the quilt store owner who had let me put the sign up on her bulletin board and she asked me if I would please teach a hand quilting class in her shop.  We bantered some ideas back and forth for the class and I told her I would think about it and come up with something.  :)

I put a message out on a quilting forum I'm on and asked for advice from people who had taught hand quilting classes and who had taken them.  I have gotten some good responses as to what people want, etc.  So I will make a list of ideas and share them with Janet and see what we can come up with!  :)

I've had several items sell on Ebay this week which makes me very happy!  Things leaving my house!!  YAY!  I have more auctions ending this week and, so far, 2 of them have bids!  YAY again!  :)

Last night I trimmed the whole cloth quilt and sewed the binding on the front by machine.  Now I'm going to flip it to the back and hand sew it down...

$$$$$

Today I went and did my coupon shopping at Walgreen's & Rite Aid.

Walgreen's

Does it count if you drink 2% milk while eating M & M's??  Do they cancel each other out like it does when you drink a diet soda while eating dessert???  :D

I got $18.10 worth of product, paid $5.04 out-of-pocket, got $5.00 back in Register Rewards, making this trip a net cost of $.04!!!  If you are wondering about why I buy milk there...this is a classic example of knowing what things cost where.  I am always telling people that even though places like Walgreen's are frequently higher on their non-sale prices than other places like Walmart, you can't ASSUME that they are.  I have found that Walgreen's can be very competitive in their prices on certain things.  Broughton milk at Walmart is $3.69...Broughton milk at Walgreen's is $3.14!!!  

Rite Aid

At Rite Aid I got $24.36 worth of product, paid $3.93 out-of-pocket, got 8.99 back in Single Check Rebates and +Up Rewards, making this a $5.06 money-maker for me!  :)


Hope everyone has remained safe through "Irene".  :)   ☔
