Tired and worked to death and nothing to show for it!

TODAYYYY........ Mended 2 of my Mum's dresses (they've been sitting there for a few weeks, but have been redecc'ing the bedroom so my sewing area has been a hurricane site), started sewing my bedskirt together, washed/dried/folded/put up 4-5 loads of laundry, moved one of the baby's toy boxes downstairs, cleaned out the closet, filled a few boxes and stickered stuff for a yard sale, packed 3 boxes for ebay, went thru a couple piles of old papers and trashed a shopping bag's worth, moved a couple of plastic dressers into the closet, started pulling stuff from other closets for yard sale, had to call the insurance, and 2 dr's offices for an appt and a referral form, and of course "straightened" the house and took care of the kids and made dinner. And the house is a wreck! Un-instant gratification can be a bear sometimes.... aarrgghh!!
There were a couple other things but too tired to think. And BTW, I don't reccommend home waxing to ANYONE!!!!!

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
