Hobby Lobby is so confident of customer approval that they named it “I Love This Yarn.”  It pretty much lives up to that claim, I will admit.This is a 100% acrylic, 4-ply knitting worsted yarn.  That much sounds just the same as the Red Heart Yarn I reviewed earlier.  But this yarn is much, much softer to the feel.It is machine washable and dryable.  The skeins a...

OK, I jumped on the band wagon with making Halloween decorations using the fake carvable foam pumpkins.  I have seen these in craft stores for several years and never really got the urge to do anything with them.  My daughter and I saw an ad for several different characters in our local Michael's Craft Store ad, but we found many more available on line at their website.&...

Wow, what did I get myself into?! These are really, really cute, BUT they are really, really a LOT of work! Every time I end up making one of these darling stockings, I ask myself if I’m crazy, or what? But then when I’m finished, I get a lot of satisfaction knowing that I made something real special for the kids I love so much. The first one I made was twenty years ago. In fact,...

I used to get, every month, for my little Dachshund Frontline for fleas and Heartguard for worms. That's two products I would have to give to my dog every month at a cost of a little over $20 EVERY MONTH. The receptionist at the vets office one month when I went in to get Jacks monthly dose of Frontline and Heartguard suggested that I try Advantage Multi. It's one product but it does th...

At the beginning of 2009 I was looking for a new cell phone and a new cell phone company and plan. I was not happy with the previous plan and company I was with. I did a lot of searching and comparing with different companies before I chose one. One reason being the little town I live in does not get goo cell phone coverage so I wanted a cellphone company that I would actually be able to use wh...

Have you ever heard of Jumbo Peanut Butter? The peanut butter was marketed by Frank Tea & Spice Company, Cincinnati, Ohio in the early 1900's. The company also sold Dove Brand spices and other spices. Today, Jumbo Peanut Butter jars are very collectible.Over the years, we have discovered several different sizes and shapes of Jumbo Peanut Butter jars. My favorite is this cute little elep...

Disney always has great, unique items for Christmas. Being the frugal shopper that I am, I always wait for the after-Christmas clearance sales to purchase new items for the Christmas holidays the following year. Shoppers Drug Mart also sells Christmas ornaments and other items. It was while in a Shoppers Drug Mart filling a prescription in early January that I noticed they had some Disney Chris...

This is not mine but my husband, however, I was the one who encouraged him to get one under my brother's name (for their company and Globe had a tie up). I also handle his bills.Billing wise, Globe is pretty accurate. And now that my husband has a subscription plan, he seldom goes over the limit of P500 or $10. When he had the pre-paid before, he usually consumes more than that amount in a ...

As many of you know, I have a collectibles booth in an indoor flea market. I am always on the lookout for desirable merchandise, both old and new. Recently, I found this beautiful old fashioned blue and white ironstone pitcher and wash bowl. It really takes you back to a time when people drew water out of a well, and had to wash from a basin, since there was no running water. They wou...

For my daughters recent birthday one of her friends gave her a Hallmark card that features the animated characters Hoops and Yoyo. It is one in a series of cards that Hallmark offers featuring these characters and their friends. I had never seen this line of cards before then and I have to admit, it is really cute.The outside of the card is printed with a picture of the character...

The Forever 27 poster is a piece done by Scott Lobaido.  In the poster he has four rock legends, all who died at the young age of 27.  Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix and Kurt Cobain.  It shows them all in a room that appears to be floating in the clouds, almost as if to imply a little room in heaven.  The neat part of the poster is that the artist has also include...

In addtition to treating my cats with Advantage, I treat my house as well for fleas. This is the best and easiest product I've found so far to help me keep my house flea free. It's extremely easy to use, just sprinkle on evenly over the carpet and let it sit on the carpet for 30 minutes for treatment for fleas and 2 hours for treatment for ticks. After that, just simply vacume and you a...

This collar is working fairly well to keep the fleas off the front half of the dog.  I think if we had realized the flea problem before it got so bad that it would be showing much better results.We are having a really bad flea year at our house.  And I admit that I didn’t notice until it was pretty much out of control.  Even so, I am not attacking it with the strongest, mos...

When I was looking for a small aquarium for my kitchen, I discovered the Mini Bow 2.5 gallon aquarium kit. It's the perfect size for the den, kitchen, dorm, or kid's room. Just one look at this little aquarium and I knew it was exactly what I needed. I purchased the kit with a dark blue aquarium, which is perfect for my blue male Betta splendens. The Mini Bow 2.5 gallon aquarium kit inc...

China teacups are something you don't see a lot of people decorate with anymore. Back in the day when we used to go to my grandma's house for dinner on two Sundays a month, her china teacup collection was a source of fascination for me. I think she must have received them as gifts, or even bought a few for herself. She had a nice hutch and the shelves were lined with a variety of authen...

I just gave my mother's poodle(Trouble) another bath today using Sergeant's Skip-Flea & Tick Shampoo , because this time of year you can never be too careful. Although he is an (inside) dog, he is continually going outside to do his business and visit the (outside)cats my mother owns, which is the perfect opportunity for infestation.Living here in the mountains of Northeast Georgia,...

My husband and I have two saltwater aquariums, a 135 gallon and a 37 gallon.  We use Oceanic Natural Sea Salt Mix (for making 90 gallons, which is 26.1 lbs) which we purchase at Petsmart for about $34.00. This sea salt does a very good job of keeping the water in the proper proportions for our saltwater fish.  It contains calcium and natural trace elements, comes i...

I LOVE THESE CARDS!!! The first time I ever saw one of these cards was when my mom sent me an Easter card in the mail. Ever since then I have been seeing them and hearing the everywhere! I absolutely love Hops and YoYo on the Hallmark website. I make my own cards, so I never looked to see if Hops and YoYo were on physical cards too. My mom and I send the e-cards back and forth quite often and t...
