Thankful Thursday

                                                                             


So I sit and watch the yearly Its the great pumpkin with Charlie Brown and Snoopy it  makes me think
of Thanksgiving and being Thankful.. But its strange they are talking more about Pumpkins which means
Halloween.. Which has never really been a good holiday for me. Except for the part of Candy. But
all the pressure of Costumes, scaring people, for me getting egged and shaving cream, and also for
the fact that church before never wanted us to celebrate.. Which makes me glad that the churches
have alternates now and do reach out to the kids.


                                                                         

My focus of Free things last few days have been Calenders. I have looked around my house and it amazes me the calenders I have.. I have the inspirational one in bedroom, Art one in the Music studio, (Brian's Old Room) A Stooges and Kitty calender in the Kitchen, and finally in the living room a small Stooges one that I made for Ron. And yes my favorite two purple calenders...
So now for 2011 I have started my collection  with a Joyce Meyer, Oriental Trading club and now today
I put for my free list one the Eat Better America calender.. So I am off to a good start..

Thinking of Things I am thankful today for:

1. Having heat and shelter from the cold winds.
2. Being able to go onto my Library's site to renew my books.
3. The near end of all the voting commercials
4. Free Calender's
5. The Web where everything is at our finger tips (the good things that is)
6. Friends that share
7.  My Moody Devotional book that I start my day with.. (along with my bible of Course)
8. Work that I can talk and enjoy people from all over country.
9. My Mom that calls me to tell me her joys of the day
10. Having a warm, comfy bed to have sweet dreams in.

Yep that's the list this week and I am stick in to it!
Ps. that Pumpkin is a BRIAN and KRISTA original!

Treasures of Tuesday

This week has been slow with my Free stuff.. But I did receive a sport Tampon sample.. Totally needed that
one. And as far as my change this week its also slow.. None for this week.. But its OK.. Its the joy of the
hunt.

I am SO enjoying the event that started on the 10/21. Kate's Month at the Museum. I just can't get enough!
I go on Face book, twitter, and the museum web site to get up dates! So far there has been 3 videos and
I faithfully check each day to see what is new~ At the end I want to make a list and go to the museum
once again myself.. (Hopefully on a free day if that still exists.)
So far I know that she has had 7 days of fun!
Things I didn't know about the museum but now Will like to visit:

1.The baby chicks
2. The a Huge Hamster Wheel people run on
3. The Tornado Exhibit.
4. Smart Home Exhibit
5. The Hubble
6. The Jim Henderson Exhibit of Muppet's..

I do remember going to the Coal Mine and also the trains.. But I am sure After hours it must be such
a treat and a treasure~


 

Treasures of Tuesday

So I came home today and I found treasures waiting for me in my mail box.. I got two boxes
from Wal-mart today!

 My sample for the Crest toothpaste and the Wisk stain remover.
 The Crest tooth paste will be a great thing to take with for a weekend trip...(maybe Green Lake next
year)  Except I wanted the sample for my dear hubby who has been having gum problems and that
is what it is for.. So I might have to break down and let him have that one.. LOL

I also got my 2011 Calender from Joyce Meyer.. It also being free each year.. I am a calender nut and
I am sad that my two pretty purple calenders that were leather from Borders are now coming to a end.
(And I will not have the money this year to do that again, but they have been my treasures this year.)

I also got my printed out FREE Gift Coupon from CVS for a Hand Sanitizing Spray Pen with sadly that
one will expire this Friday so I will have to be quick and get that one.. I also got in the mail a coupon for
a small bottle of Advil so I will take that to the good old CVS with me.. Oh the joys of FREE!!!

I also have now been treasuring a sweet friend that I walk home from work with. She is amazing with
finding coins on the way home.. She finds Penny's, dimes, and nickles.. So now more that just talking we
are also treasure hunting for coins.. In total last week we found a total  5 Penny's, two nickles and
two dimes.. I plan to start putting them in a jar and see what I have at the end of month..

Happy Hunting!

Thankful For Free Samples

Since now having NO CREDIT Cards to fall back on for thinking I had FREE Money.. (which I have
always known there is NO such thing but foolishly I used them that way)

 I have started a new hobby of getting FREE samples in the mail.. And yes so far they have been FREE NO credit card stuff, and NO complete a offer to get it free. A few of the sites I found of all places You TUBE.. I have really loved that site for learning to crocheting, canvas cross stitch, nail painting ideas, make up ideas, new songs for church, and just when needing a laugh of watching some kitties.. So needless to say I have
been loving You tube.
