I copy crafted some clippies today! I saw this bunny clip online and thought it was so cute. It was a lot harder than I thought and it is a little sloppy. I think practice will make perfect with these clips. I also made a small clip with a bow and a korker ribbon clip. I had no idea you can make ribbon curl by wrapping it around a dowel or knitting needle and putting it in the oven! Thanks Kelly for the info. I think more korker ribbon will make these type of clips even cuter. Again, this was my first attempt and I am just proud I did something besides grocery shopping. I really need to finish some stuff around the house (like baby Ashley's curtains), but this was a quick one to finish.
This bunny looks like the picture here, but I think it might need whiskers or something. I also used a wider ribbon because I couldn't find the narrow grosgrain. I may need to research where to get the right sizes.

Spent 16.28 and saved 106.40...
Ok, so here is what I got tonight. I will admit, it is really more junk food than I usually keep in my house. However, I have a baby due any time now and when the boys want a snack (by boys I am including Andrew) I may not be able to peel them an orange or make a salad. Besides, when a pack of Nutter Butter cookies is free when you buy milk, how can you not get them?
More to come tomorrow... I am taking Andrew for a big trip so he can learn the ropes. He is actually excited, but mostly because I told him we can stock up on stuff he likes, too.

I walked out the door with .88!
Ok, so I haven't gotten around to any crafting. Guess I should have thought of a better name for my blog. But hey, I am 8 months pregnant and ready to pop. Anyway, sometimes I wonder how people react to the couponing posts. Yesterday, my friend Kimberly said even though she doesn't coupon, she likes to see all the stuff her couponing friends get. So, I had to post this one. I try not to go negative, and usually store won't let you. But today I walked out of the store with this and .88.
... and for anyone who says you can only get junk with coupons, I had more than $7 in overage to spend on whatever I needed. I chose to buy chicken, but I could have bought fresh produce, milk or anything else in the store.
