Sweet Saturday...

It's been awhile - how are you knitting needles? Haha! I made this knitted slouch cap last night. I am thinking to sell some of these at my Fall Boutique in November. Why not! I have enough yarn at home to make at least 15 of them! So, knit on! Next up...charcoal color. Knitting relaxes me. I've been on the go at two events this past week and now the third event today! I am totally tired! I will knit while I am there, well, if no one is at my booth! Today I will be showcasing Tastefully Simple and Thirty-One. I plan on closing out parties on Sunday night so if you need anything... order up here:

 Thirty-One 

Tastefully Simple Be sure to click SHOP, then search a party - FALL (first), SHOWCASE (last)

  

Today is Clovis Fest... so many hot air balloons. I am taking the kids downtown to get a cinnamon roll... yummy! It's a yearly thing! The balloons take off around 6:30am then shopping at the street faire downtown. I want to go check out the crafts! Got to go... kids want cinnamon rolls!

Have a great day everyone... what are you doing today?

I LOVE COUPONING!!!

Saturday... what to do today?

Well, today I need to sort through my Thirty-One bags that I used over the past 9 days going to the World Series in Visalia. I love these bags.... and boy did they keep my snacks, drinks, and accessories organized. I have to admit, I took my knitting thinking I would have time to do a few rows while waiting for games to start but nope. Didn't happen. I was too nervous! My drinks kept cool in my thermal tote, my knitting was safe in my Square Utility Tote along with the candy and granola bars. Carried all of my personal items; wallet, phone, etc. in my Organizing Utility Tote. You can view the Thirty-One  catalog on my website at http://www.mythirtyone.com/cherielovesbags . Contact me if you have any questions. I will help you choose fabrics and personalization thread colors!

Well, I need to organize my coupons in my coupon binder. All week I have been collecting coupons but have put them in a basket to clip and file. Well, today is the day. Need to get it organized for the new ads coming out tomorrow in Sunday's paper! I totally love to coupon. If you think you might want to learn, contact me and I will help you. I have learned a lot of The Krazy Coupon Lady . Everything you need to know about how to coupon is there! That's how I learned. 

It's been a busy 9 days of baseball (Majors 60 Cal Ripken World Series) in Visalia. Ca. Driving back and forth has run me down! Now today is a day of resting, and cleaning my house! Our kitchen table has been used for all of our Thirty-One bags with our game goodies!

Well, have a great day everyone!!!
