Sorry I have not posted in quite a while this Spring just kept me super busy. My hubbie and I celebrated our 5th anniversary and we also went out of town for a few trips. My sweetest neighbors ever left yesterday so I am a bit sad but excited for them on their new adventure to Africa. They are soooo missed already and pray for them daily =)

I am planning to upload some new creations soon, so check back pronto amigas & amigos ;0)

Spring Savings

Spring has definitely sprung in our neck of the woods =) Everything is blooming from our tulips all the way to the marigolds and impatients thanks to our sweet neighbors! They brighten my world each moment I see them blossom =)

Also have decided to get on the money saving wagon thanks to the inspiration I receive from my best friend Gin' =) Last night at CVS I bought $62 worth of merchandise for $22 and also got $28 back in ECB (extra care bucks) for a future purchase. You can join us on the money saving wagon too here is one of the sites that have helped me in saving mucho mula http://www.hotcouponworld.com TFL ~C
