Hoppy Easter to you all!  Hope you enjoyed your partially cold and wet weekend and didn't have to dig too many eggs out of the mud.

As with all holidays in retail sales, there are after-holiday sales, and Easter is no different.  Going through the post holiday sales to find any goodies great for enjoying now and later at good bargains is always a ( Read more... )

In this economy you would think that retail construction and new store openings would slow down right?  United Supermarkets has proved that wrong, at least from what I see here in Plano.

They opened up Market Street  on Preston, where the old Walmart used to be.  For a year or so I knew of only one, and it was up in Allen, too far a drive from my ( Read more... )

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!

So this is an update of little projects/crafts I've done so this year.

--I saw a couple of these Nicole Miller black and white bathroom accessories at Tuesday Morning and decided to find more of the set.  But after visiting several stores, I couldn't find all the pieces.  So I decided to just alter a some plain white ( Read more... )

Funny how time flies.  It's March in just one more day.

So this last weekend I was browsing through the manga/anime section at Borders (looking for a gift) and I found the 20th anniversary Transformers animated movie, on sale too!  Great find!  I was looking for the animated movie for a few years (not deeply searching).  So I did what any geek does ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day to all you who can't be with a loved one this coming weekend.

For some of us, this will be a 3-day weekend.  For others.. sorry. :-(

Also, happy new year! For the first time in years I didn't write down any resolutions.  Doesn't mean I don't have any hopes for the year, just that I didn't write them down.  Though I think for ( Read more... )

Whee!  It's September and the start of the usually busy last season of the year.  I used to think autumn was a boring season, since I didn't really care for those earthy browns and oranges and pumpkins (I don't like eating pumpkin anything), but now I think it's my favorite season.  First, my birthday is at the start of September, so that's always ( Read more... )

 Wow, where did the time go?  The year's more than half over.

Please keep Rosemary and her family in your prayers.  She was 6 when she died last week.  From what I understand she got sick.  She was a very bright and talented girl who like to help make music with my church choir.

OK, as promised, some pictures of me and projects I've finished last ( Read more... )

yeah.  hard to believe that's the year's half over already.  And Christmas stuff have already sprung up in Hobby Lobby.  I get depressed now when I see it, because it means the busy fall craft show season is right around the corner and I haven't worked on my ornament and scarf inventory yet.

I will post pics in a later entry of more projects I ( Read more... )

Whee! I got a new automatic camera.. Canon, 8 mp, 'rhythm & blue'.  I was drooling over the Sony 13 mp but that's still so expensive right now. That thing will go down 50% in price anyway next year.  The funny thing is that I really didn't need a new one, but after my bro made fun of my 'brick'  3 mp camera AND I saw Tina Miguel's (sis' old friend ( Read more... )

I've been on vacation this week.  didn't go anywhere exciting, just back home for my brother Mark's senior music recital in composition.  He composed 5 pieces for this.  I only heard 2 of them, because I had to switch out with my mom and sister to watch the reception food in the lobby (there are hungry college kids passing through there all the ( Read more... )
