wow has it really been that long?

I have done some crazy projects this summer but just have not posted about them.  I have re-done a table and chairs and will be posting pictures.  I did a cute ottoman for a friend.  I am planning to redo a desk and some cool mirrors for my office...

Couponing Project!!!

My latest project the past week has been learning how to coupon and save big!!! Wow, I have learned alot the hard way already in a week.  I need to go to a class or something.  I got onto the Daily Herald person the Amy the Savvy Shopper  http://www.savvyshopperdeals.com/  to start learning how to do it.  She does stuff specific to Utah County which I love cause couponing is not the same here.  We don't get alot of double and no triple coupon stores that I know of.  Anyways, if anybody would like to do this with me or has some good tips, please let me know.  Just a few good deals that I got this week.  BBQ sauce for 14cents a bottle  It would have been free if I realized and used double coupon on tuesday.  They would have owed me money to buy it!  Four FREEE boxes of toothpaste.  Razors for 99cents for Ryan.  I paid 50cents a cartridge which cost 4.25 at Wal-mart a piece. It really does work!!! It will take a little work to get organized and learn the ropes!!!!!

Anthropologie Brilliant Gathers Lampshade Knock Off...The Finished Product

I am really happy with how the lamps turned out.  I didn't take a before picture of the shades.  They were this waffle type old fashioned shade with gold trim.  I bought both sets of lamps and shades for a total of $14 dollars at D.I.    The Anthropologie lampshade alone without the lamp base is $98 a piece.  Their lamp bases run about $130 for a cheaper one.  That is about $450 in lamps from Anthropologie.  Yeah, like are you SERIOUS???? Does anybody spend that much for lamp?  Please, not me!!!!!.  I spent about $50 for both lamps!!!!!!!!!!!

These are the finished lamps in our partially finished bedroom makeover.  I was able to use some of the same material from the headboard in the lamps.  It's cool.  You can see the two pillows I made on the bed that I have shown on a previous post.. Sooooooooo Cute!  I am so happy that I have a cuter bedroom.  So much more that I can do...the possibilities are endless.

Anthropologie Brillant Gathers Lampshade

I am working on this knock off for my bedroom...It's from Anthropologie for $98.  Do you think I paid that much???? No WAY Jose!!!!!  For the lamps and shades it is about $25 a lamp.  I am doing two.  I can't wait it looks soooooo good...I should be finished this weekend.....It has involved way more sewing than I prefer but it's totally worth it!!!!!
