Grill time cake-I wish I made this!

Last night we went to the blue and gold dinner for my son.  I saw this cake at the dinner.  I was impressed by the creativity.  I looks so real.  The cakes where a father son project.  They all looked great but this by far was the best.

The hamburgers are made of Coco Krispies treats with a dash of Nutella to take the white out of the marshmallow's.

The hot dogs where made of Tootsie rolls and red Starbursts one for one ratio, kneeded together.

The cheese is yellow starbursts.  Then piping gel for the lines.  It was made of in a 16" round chocolate cake.  Is this not the coolest you ever saw.  Makes me hunger right now. 

couponing is a good way of life

If you have not discovered how fun the world of couponing is you should.  This week I got a lot of free stuff. 

I went to my local Kroger's this week and bought:

4 Colgate tooth brushes $.20 each.
4 Colgate tooth paste free.
2 Pillsbury grand biscuits $.55 each.
4 Dannon Activia yogurt $.88 each.
4 Ragu spag. sauce $.50 each.
My grand total after all coupons was? Well they payed me $1.64 way way cool! I saved well over a 100%.  This happened because I had Manufactured coupons for all items, plus everything was on sale plus, I had Catalina coupons totalling $6 and then received $4 in Catalina coupons after this particular transaction to use on my next visit to Kroger's.   Wow! Say that with out breathing.  This is why I say the couponing world is awesome!

Since my sewing room has been packed for the move I have spent a lot of time lately building a stock pile of things for my family of six.  My husband used to think I was crazy, but has since changed his mind.  He does not run out of the things he uses on a regular basis and I don't blow the bank to keep us stocked up. 

I have been doing this for almost a year now.  I am sorry to say I don't know really how much I have saved our family but I know it is a lot.  My problem now is how to store this and use some of the stuff before it expires.  That is a terrible problem I know LOL!  But it is mine to bare.:)! I will gladly bare it too. He He He.

To all you who coupon too.  Have fun.  To all you who have not shame on you, repent of your ways and save money.

the sad fact about moving

The Sad fact about moving.  My house has never looked this clean.  I hate that about my house.  My room has never had this much floor space showing.  I usually have boxes of military stuff lined up by the wall on the floor. 

The boys room even when they clean it does not look this good.

The girls room looks like this for only five minutes.  My two year old has messed up the closet before I am even done cleaning but I can close that. 

The Teenager is not giving me too much problems with keeping his side of the room clean either.

I am still working on my husbands desk and the kitchen counters.  But I am almost done.  I am so proud of myself.

Moving again need advice

I will not be doing much in the craft department.  We are getting ready to move and my craft room won't cut the mustard for trying to sell this house.  So I started boxing up my Craft/Sewing stuff to make the room look better.  As you can see it will take a long time.  I have lots of stuff packed in this 10 x 10 room.  That means aside from basic sewing,  I will be bored because I wont be able to craft.  I will try to keep up with other stuff on my blog.  But if you don't hear much from me please be patient with me. 

So if any one has advice on how to keep my house show quality with little kids who mess up what you have just cleaned five minutes or while you are still cleaning please let me know.  I know the tricks are out there lay it on me.  Please!!!!!
