Not having much luck today.

Got the yellow wall paint and I think
it is too yellow. Can I take it back
to the store if I don't like it since
it's a tinted paint? I always see
marked down mistinted paints on the shelves.
I knew this was gonna happen to me that's
why I've been soooo stressed about picking
out a yellow paint. I always heard that
when you find a color you like to go
with the same color only a couple of shades
lighter than your original color. I
should've listened!!!


Then I get an email from the lady
who I won my curtain fabric from.
She had told me the other day she
could only ship this fabric in a box
and that's why it cost $10 and change.
It's 4 yards of medium weight fabric.
Today she writes to tell me she's sending
it via an envelope. So is this so called
envelope of fabric costing me $10 and some
is what I would like to know??? Well I am
about to see in the next couple of days
and will be pissed if it was much cheaper!!

Me and mom went and saw Bounty Hunter this morning.
It was pretty good. Not the best but pretty good.

This has bugged me with people's spending habits.
Why is it every year people buy baskets, plastic
eggs and grass? What is wrong with ones from previous
years. I use the same Easter items year after year.
I don't feel the need to go out and buy new!
That's ridiculous to spend money like that!
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Don't have the money to give your old kitchen
a makeover with new cabinets and counters.
Here's a cheap makeover you could do yourself!

You can cover your old drab, painted cabinets
with contact paper.

You can also find granite contact paper to cover
up those unsightly counter tops just as long
as they aren't tile!

Cleans with soap and water and is
scratch and heat resistant up to 175 degrees

This is not the old fashioned contact paper
grandma used to line her shelves with.
There are so many styles and designs available
now the possibilities are endless as
to what you can do with it!







They even make stainless steel contact paper to use
on appliances!
