Cyber Monday

Today is proclaimed as "Cyber Monday". For me, much of my shopping is on the internet and I love WalMart's free site to store shipping option when shopping on their website. I think we are finished shopping for each other. I didn't purchase anything on sale today, besides shopping for a few gifts on eBay, but I did purchase a car seat booster at a great price.

For those of you with more than one vehicle and only having one car seat that you have to move from one car to another, you know that it is difficult at times to say the least, especially when your hands are frozen and you have to cram the seat belt behind this and that and adjust it just right... Or how about when you get ready to go somewhere and you have JUST enough time to get there and you forgot that you needed to move the car seat? I know... I am blessed to have this as a simple worry in my life :0) Regardless, it was time to start shopping for a booster seat anyway. I found a really cute one at a great price at WalMart.

It was a $50 Graco and it will grow with her into a booster seat. Her other car seat does not have that capability, but a simple booster will suffice when she is large enough to have one. I thought this was a really great price and recommend it to those of you who have children that are not quite ready for a booster, but will soon and for any of you who will be getting a little Christmas money from Santa to purchase a seat for a second or third car.

Did you get any wonderful deals this Cyber Monday?

Gingham Pumpkins - - -

Gingham pumpkins?? Yes and they are cute and selling like hotcakes! They were created due to lack of orange fabric that I had been using for the other pumpkins that I make. I live on a mountain and going to town feels like a half of a day trip for us, not to mention the fact that we have no fabric stores within 45 minutes from us and even WalMart has stopped selling fabric... Regardless, lucky for me I was out of orange at the time, otherwise, I would not have used this adorable white and orange gingham material. They are dear and sell just as well, if not better than my solid orange pumpkins. Find all of my latest listed items in my eBay store. The link is to the right...

Time to Mulch

It's inevitable if you have gardens... time to mulch your flower beds! I am removing two large low growing shrubs in the front of the house. They are approximately 12' x 12'. One is out and the other is partially gone. I can't believe the amount of dampness they hold. I have 5 barberry bushes in the front that are so pretty, but they have tons of thorns on them. I have rosey glow and the dwarf variety, which by the way, are just as large as the rosey glows are. I went to WalMart yesterday and purchased Cypress mulch... never again! That is the worst mulch I have ever used in my life! It is full of splinters, no consistency and is really only good to put in a garden of veggies or berries. It is not attractive at all... it is light brown/tan in color. So, off to WalMart I go today and will definitely look at the mulch before I prepay for it. They were out of the pine bark mulch chips that I usually purchase. The picture of the flower shown is my buttercup picture. They are in bloom now with the stella d'oro daylillies. Happy gardening!
