Just an old gal, raising and home schooling two of my grandchildren. Slowly finding time to get back into crafting. Using Maker 3 and Explore 3 and loving sublimation and resin crafting.

Hello everyone!

Some cute cards I made the other day
Health Issues
I realize (a lil too late I'm afraid) that I'm not a very healthy person. I'm not grossly obese but I sure am close (says the BMI chart, my jeans still say size 14 but who am I to argue?) Over the years it's been harder and harder to do stuff, like stairs, lifting, standing for a long period etc. For the last 5 years or so I've had High Blood Pressure issues that were ALWAYS kept under control. Until very recently. I guess all the baby stuff going on just took me over the top and I got to spend the night in the hospital with a very very strange room mate. They got me on better meds that seem to be controlling it but the dizziness is just insane. Apparently the night they admitted me I was very very close to having a stroke. Talk about SCARY! But again, it seems to be under control
Spineless - wish I was!
Free Groceries SAY WHAT???????????
Yep - ya heard that right sistah's and mistah's! Back in North Carolina the employment was crashing all around us - in no time flat we too were affected. So I resorted to coupons and baby sitting to supplement hubby's income. Then one day one of the gals I sat for said "Oh keep these granola bars here, they were free" WHAT????? So she told me about a website that does all the work for you. All you have to do is clip and run to the store. Before you knew it I had stockpiles of stuff. I'm not kidding. Never paid for or pain very very little (under a quarter) for things from CVS and Walgreens, and got so much free at the grocery stores that we were literally giving it away. When we moved here to Maryland to take care of my mom, the deals didn't 'seem' as good so I kinda stopped.....pretty much totally stopped, using them. Now that things are tight again (thank you people who tell me I HAVE to have a certain craft item or machine) I just reactivated my account at The Grocery Game I realize that there are free websites that do the same thing but... for 5 bucks every 3 months I choose the grocery game. First off, your first 4 weeks is...... FREE. You can choose all the stores in your area and you will be presented with a list of items that are currently on sale. Then they tell you what coupons to use to get more bang for your buck. They even have links for printable coupons, a recipe swap forum and an idea swap, newbie type forum. You guys gotta check it out cause saving at the grocery means more money for PAPER!
I've missed you guys - I will try to do more here. I have a coupla things in the works, experimenting with fabric and the Cameo/Pazzles/Cricut as well as a coupla vinyl projects.
Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me today. Remember, Memorial day is not just about cookouts - thank a Serviceman/woman and their families!
One Last Thing
Cricut recently had a big ole sale on cuddlebug folders and I went nuts. 2 bucks each, why wouldn't I? Turns out I now have a coupla duplicates so I will be using them for some blog candy in the future.
Love & Hugs,
Tangee
