In keeping with this week’s theme of ohmygodistillhavesomuchtodohowdidthishappen, I’m going right into today’s post.  There will be no funny.  None.  This here is a bare, bones post with pretty pictures.  And hopefully some inspiration.  And intrigue.  And maybe even a MURDER! But probably not. I have a great story about a bag of potato chips, [...]

There’s still a couple of weeks left in the holiday season and I’m going to milk everything out of it that I can. I wish it were Christmas every month.  There’s no shortage of post ideas, that’s for sure.  You know those stores where it’s Christmas all year round?  They’re usually ingeniously named “The Christmas [...]

  3 months ago I sat straight up in bed and said “Pinecone bows” out loud.  It wasn’t the weirdest thing I’d ever done in bed, but it was up there.  I knew, like the time I apparently pushed the fella right out of bed, I would forget this in the morning. So I got [...]

I shouldda been a farmer.  If given the choice between living in a penthouse in New York City and a farm in the middle of Montana with a  herd of cattle and shotgun, I’d pick the shotgun every time.   Well, not necessarily the shotgun, but the farm setting.  Where sometimes you need a shotgun.

It has been a longggg time since I did a Dollar Store post.  I’m not “off” the Dollar Store.  I’m still quite madly in love with the Dollar Store.  We were just on a break for a while.  We’re back together again. And it’s all because of a plate. A white, rectangular, sharp cornered plate [...]

Cute, right?  To put it in perspective … here it is in the room. Rather large. Rather impressive. Rather cheap. $1 for the yarn at the Dollar Store, $1 for the two way tape.  If you need to go out and buy the spiders, that’ll set you back another dollar or two.  I know.  I [...]

    First things first.  I’m afraid of spiders, I don’t like spiders, spiders are the devil.  Big, fake spiders however, don’t bother me none.  Until last year while going through the checkout at my local Dollarama, I had no idea how lucky I was to have the bravery in me to be able to [...]

I was interviewed by someone today.  They wanted to know about why people love Dollar Stores so much. I didn’t really have an answer.  I wasn’t sure. I suppose it’s the thrill of the hunt.   Finding something really GREAT at the Dollar Store is like finding an extra chicken McNugget in your box.  It’s [...]

Let’s get one thing straight right from the get go.   You will probably not consider this post to be the most earth shattering you’ve ever seen from me.  I certainly don’t. This post wouldn’t even be considered earth shattering if it were written by a tube sock. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute … [...]
