WARNING: Venting Session

This coupon almost seems too good to be true...NOT! I have not really shopped at this store for at least 3 years. I mean, I go every now and then when paper is 6 for $.96 or when Fiskars punches are 60 % off. What I really hate about this store is how they get you into the store with a booklet of wonderful coupons. Fifty off of this or an additional 20% off of that. Well, the truth of the matter is; what the heck can you use the coupons on!!!  Anything a person would really want or need is already on sale for a measly 15-25% off. So the coupon is USELESS TO US. Big deal if you say that your will match competitors prices and coupons. Anybody can match a price on something you don't want. You may be asking, What is she talking about? For example the Christian owned craft store has Cricut cartridges and accessories 30% off. Right??Are you going to match that?? Nope. The other craft store with the red and white logo has punches 40% off. Are you going to match that? Nope. Come on guys stop playing the games. The stuff we want is always on sale making your 50% off coupon useless.

Recently, "that" store had a grand opening sale with all of these great coupons. But, all of the popular stuff was already on sale; so I could not use any of the coupons. For goodness sake, all of the DCWV stacks were on sale for 40%; and so was most of the other crafting stuff. Sooo, again I say, why give us coupons for stuff that is already on sale...voiding your own coupon.  OMG don't get me started on the fabric. 

I guess I could use the 50% off coupon on some crepe backed satin in the color of blood clots or maybe I can use it on a some outdated plastic cemetery flowers. 

PS: I know you people mean well but, please STOP sending me emails, text, printed coupons, and ads for that store; you know exactly which store I'm talking about.  I don't really shop there and I wish they would drop me from the mailing list.

    I sooooo feel you, sis! I rarely go in there anymore! The same ole' same ole' in each and every aisle...so outdated and predictable with their prices. I sure miss my personal scrapbook stores around here AND wish they'd have kept the J and M stores instead!! :(

Scraps of Color "Christmas in July" Blog Hop: Day 1

By
My Christmas in July 2013 My Pink Journey CHRISTMAS IN JULY: DAY 1 One Sunday night (I guess it was actually early Monday morning) in July, I had a bad case of insomnia and was fooling around on eBay.  I saw that there was a bid on a new Pink Journey Cricut Expression Bundle that was about to end and the price was like 40 bucks. I was like; No way. The Bundle included 3 cartridges; one of which was the Pink Journey Champagne Rose Solution cartridge. So, I bid $56 and won the bid.  That was such a great deal simply because the Pink Journey cartridge sells for about that; at least on eBay.  Below is the layout that I created to commemorate the purchase LAYOUT 1 Solid Cardstock is Recollections Patterned Paper is Stampin Up! Chipboard Letters and Banners are KandCompany Journaling mats are Creative Imaginations Flip Flops Sticko Bling is from want2scrap Studio G Ink was used for the edges of the mats The chipboard let...

SOC CELEBRATE #8 BLOG HOP: DAY 3

By
WELCOME BACK to the Scraps of Color Celebrate #8 Blog Hop I've Been Accepted!!    I can remember when my daughter and I were reading about colleges and she told me that she only wanted to go to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) .  I was thinking, praise God TSU (Tennessee State University) here she comes. DING-DONG-WRONG! She said that she wanted to go to Alabama A&M in Huntsville. Then the prayer wheel started turning. " Lord, you said that you would supply all of our needs according to your riches" and you said that "What things we desire, when we pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them".        Now, she had some struggles in high school and was at best a B- to C+ student . Even though she would study and work hard; she had trouble. School just did not come easy to her; but her common sense and work ethic was ON POINT. Believe that. Nevertheless, Alexis only applied to one school. She ha...

By
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month! So, in honor of this event--I, along with some talented crafter's, have teamed up to honor and celebrate the men and women in our lives that inspire us with their strength in the battle against Breast Cancer. Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus, there will be an SOC blog hop gift awaiting one visitor!! To be eligible for that prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Monday, Oct. 10 at 11:00pm EST. The fight to find a cure for breast cancer is near and dear to my heart. Not only because my maternal grandmother lost her battle with breast cancer; but because my mom had a scare a few years ago.  In 2009, the Lord healed me from ovarian cancer. To God Be the glory for the things he has done. I give him praise for healing me and for the courage and hope that i received from my mom and my grandmother.  Yes, Lord we need a cure.  My prayers and ...
