Anyone else happen to catch the show last night? Right around 10:30pm CST to after midnight. I was just heading to bed, and as per usual, I peeked out the window to check the sky. Well, I didn't have time to go anywhere to set up, so for something completely different, I set up the tripod in...

Do you give Valentine's gifts? I know that some say no, as they think this is a contrived holiday, and want no part in it. Others go all out. We do cards. Ever since I was a little girl, I've made homemade valentine cards: you know ..... with the doilies and red construction paper.... They...

So, what frugal Valentine gifts are you giving this year? I am making my husband white chocolate peppermint bark (with leftover candy canes! lol) and some home made chocolate chip cookies. I will go out and buy some kind of tin or something for $1 to put them in. For my kids I am still deciding...

Saw the other Easter wreath (which I love) and thought I'd share some easy ones that I made for those that like crafts and might like making these. I've made these in the last couple of years at different times. Have the stuff to do a red/white/blue for July 4th. ***btw I found the patterns for...

It's not easy creating a fabulous Valentine's Day frugally. I'm looking for fun, creative, romantic, low keyed ideas (no hiking through the mountains with a picnic basket please, something for homebody type of person). Give me your very best $20 Valentine's Day Plans. Now that's a challenge...

Anyone ready for this yet? :) Thinking about something similar to the Christmas gift exchange, but with two twists: 1) Valentine's Day related vs Christmas related, and 2) a one-to-one exchange. So rather than making 32 of each thing, you'll be given your "Secret Cupid" name, and will make...

Hi to those I shared Valentines with. I just wanted to share that my pathology report showed breast cancer I will now be scheduling surgery and visiting the oncologist I won't be able to do the Easter exchange but I will be back !

I bought a bunch of the Valentine m+m's, and the cherry cordial hershey kisses, for Easter, at 1/2 off original price because they were 'Valentine's candies'. My 5+ 2 yo's could care less what colors their candies are! Also got 2 of the 'giant' hershey kisses for stocking stuffers- I assume...

This year my son (age 6) is very into giving his teachers and friends gifts for holidays. Can’t afford that, really. So since I’ve recently become a stay-at-home mom, been looking up craft ideas for holidays. Here’s what we came up with for this Valentine’s Day: Walgreen’s, last week, had...

I am! I do every year, I just can't bring myself to feed the Hallmark-machine. I made these heart shaped chocolate boxes from instructables (can't post links yet :sigh: ) instructables.com/id/Make-a-heart-shaped-gift-box-for-Valentines-Day/ Small ones for the two boys and a big one for DH. I...

a few more hrs left on valentine's day.... so how much did the day set you back..? how much did you spend for the occassion....? dh & I decided to just stay home, in our jammies, parked in front of the tv (& puter of course) and just eat what we had in the house... so for...

A few days ago, I swiped 2 pr. of Dh's underwear & on one of them, using red fabric paint, put handprints on the butt. The other one I drew little pink glittery hearts all over the front. I manage to hide them while they dried out in the garage. Anyway,after they had dried, I folded them so they...

We went on Thursday and absolutely LOVED it. There are so many famous folks taking part in this movie. There is one small part of the movie near the end, that the entire audience called out NOOOOOOOO!!!:yikes: Even our daughter was - like - NO WAY!!!!! I won't spoil it but it is such a funny...

I posted this in the what did you get free thread but thought I'd put it here too. Some of you may have read my thread earlier this week about my husband setting up the free movie date in our car. Well he's getting huge points with me this week because he's gone and done it again. Best free...

from Dave's show . . . couldn't resist! :D "My checkbook is Red . . . my finances are Blue . . . can I attend Financial Peace University . . . with you?" "Darlin' if cash is King would you be my Queen?" "Hey Baby, you are looking better than I deserve!" "I've got the beans, if you've got...

So, who has already made their Valentine's Day plans? We are going away for 3 nights and 4 days up to our favorite casino resort! Room has already been booked and I am looking forward to the trip. Room is free, food is free and I can get a comp to shop in the gift shop for free, so we are...
