There is still some Honest People out there!

Yesterday I visited Dollar Tree and I dropped my

wallet and hadn't realized it until I was in the check

out line at Kmart. I searched that strip mall  for hours

looking for my wallet. Back and forth between DT

and KM. I finally gave up and went to work. Hours

later an Angel from Heaven(Tasha)showed up at my

door with wallet in tact! Everything from the I.D's,

the Credit Cards, Money, down to every last cent!

If anyone ever tells there isn't anymore honest

people left in the world don't you believe them!

Tasha is living proof that there still is!*Tears*

Thank You Jesus! I give you all the 

Praise and Glory! And thank you

Tasha! I hope you receive all you

deserve in life!:0)

How To Get So Much Food You Will Have To Give Some Away!

How to get so much food you will have to give some away!

Coupons, Coupons, and more Coupons is my rule of thumb.
You can't go wrong with coupons! Your coupons doubled
with in-store coupons can save you a pretty penny. Ever
heard of stores like Sam's Clubs or BJ's? You have to have
a membership but it's worth the savings. Also try stores
like Aldi, Sav-A-Lots, and Dollar Stores can provide
some savings for you. In these stores you will find deals
on items such as meats, produce, dairy, and other
items you and your family may need.

Good Luck!! I Hope "You Will Have So Much Food...You Will
Have To Give Some Away"

Computer Problems!

Am I the only one with this problem? It seems like every

5 or 6 months or so I'm having  some kind of problem 

with my computer. I buy virus protection that doesn't

seem to be working. I've even gotten a new computer

in some cases, still nothing works. How can a person 

blog or run an online business under these circumstances?

Anyone else having or has had these problems? Makes

you just want to give up altogether.<_>

Thanks! To all my followers!!

Thanks to all my followers I really appreciate

you! I will definitely follow you back! But

please leave a link so that I can be sure to

follow you back! Thanks:0)

Romantic Idea!!!

What my blog is all about!

Since I couldn't figure out how to put

the description of this blog at the top

 I'll do it here. This blog is where I will

share free recipes, free reports, pics of my

latest hauls, or vids of my hauls and more!

I hope you will enjoy this blog as much as

I will!:0)


By the way... HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!:0)

Italian Ice! Yum!

Anyone ever tried Italian Ice? It's so Yummy!

I know it's a little early to be talking about Italian

Ice but I'm thinking about selling my own Italian 

Ice this summer. The flavors in the pic look pretty

tasty but I've only tried the Blueberry and the Lemon

and let me tell you they were delish! So my ? to you

is have you ever tried them? What flavors? Were they

good?

My take on Free BlogBackgrounds!

Not to sound ungrateful since they are
free and all, but am I the only one who
sees a beautiful background but when you
put it on your page you only see the sides
of it? Am I doing something wrong? Blogger
and this new design change sucks! Again not
sounding ungrateful. but Jeez blogger you
dropped the ball on this one<_> Some day
I'll invest in a custom design for this
blog....Maybe!o_O! lol!

Blog Hops...Follow Fridays...

When I use to have my other blog I noticed
something about Blog Hops and Friday Follows
and the like. You follow people but they never
follow you back. Maybe I'm jumping the gun here
but I don't think so. Look at all the people I've
followed and how many of those people have followed
me back. Then you will see if I'm hitting the nail
on the head here.

I finally got my computer fixed!!!

Well actually I got it fixed
a couple of weeks ago. So
maybe now I can post more
often! Wish me luck:0)
