Sunday Scrappin': Meatball Subs Recipe Page

This is the 6x6 page I recently created for Sarah's freezer recipe swap at SCS. It was a quick and easy layout- perfect for sharing one of my family's favorite meals.

Show us what you've created recently over at Sunday Scrappin'!

Target deal: Wii games

Target has an awesome deal going on right now on Wii games. The games are on sale: buy 2, get 1 free. Then, you can go print a coupon (HERE- page 5) for $10 off the purchase of two games.

It breaks down like this :

• 3 games at $14.99 each= $44.97
• - 14.99 one free- automatically deducted at register
• = $29.98 subtotal
• - 10.oo coupon
• = $19.98 for THREE games!

Julia at The Frugal Find was able to get an even better deal by printing three coupons... but I could only get it to print twice for me. YMMV! (*Your mileage may vary!)

Since Santa has been saving his pennies to bring our family a Wii this year for Christmas, this was a great deal for us. The sale runs through Saturday!

30-day Giving Challenge

Have you heard about this wonderful challenge that Alyssa has issued? As soon as I read about it, I knew I wanted to take part.

The basic concept is this: keep a personal record of everything (not necessarily a "thing" thing) you give away for a month, and, also keep a record of the blessings you receive in that same time period. Gifts of time, talent, prayer, or material things... anything counts. It's whatever you feel God calls you to reach out and share with another person each day. Sounds simple enough, right?

I'll be keeping a private log and sharing the highlights here on my blog from time to time.

What about you.... are you in?

Free Food on Halloween

Here are a few treats (besides candy) that you can receive on Saturday:

• According to The Freebie Blogger, "Sonic will be giving away free 14 oz. Cherry or Diet Cherry Limeades on October 31st from 2-5 PM." I couldn't find that on their site, so I'd definitely call to confirm on that one... but I'm hoping it's true, as I've never tried their famouse Cherry Limeades. They are advertising corn dogs for $.50 each that evening from 5-10pm.
• Taco Bell is giving one free Blackjack Taco to every customer on Halloween between 6pm and Midnight.
• And, if you haven't come up with a costume yet, consider dressing like a burrito or a salad and you can score a free "boo-rito" at Chipotle.

I usually print a copy of the ad from their website to take along in case there are any questions. Enjoy your free food!

The Simple Woman's Daybook 10/19

FOR TODAY...

• Outside my window... cool air and sunshine all day today-- beautiful!
• I am thinking... that I really need to take some time off of work to get things done around the house... not sure that's do-able any time soon, though. Since I only work part-time, my days tend to fill up pretty quickly with tasks at work this time of year.
• I am thankful for... my family's health right now
• I am wearing... black yoga pants, red tshirt, black socks-- my typical outfit when I'm in a serious cleaning mode.
• I am remembering... a resident who just passed away last night. My prayers are with her family.
• I think I will enjoy... a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee tomorrow morning on the way to work when I stop to get gas :)
• I am going... to finish up cleaning out the craft room tonight
• I am reading... Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World
• I am hoping... that this new chicken recipe for supper turns out well
• On my mind... a problem at work that I'll have to handle this week
• Noticing that... I found entirely too many old receipts when I was cleaning today. Do I really need to keep an fast food receipt? Argh!
• Pondering these words... a line from an email forward I received yesterday-- something to the effect of "Be more kind than necessary, for everyone is fighting an invisible battle." It's SO true!
• From the kitchen... getting ready to go make homemade chicken fingers, potato wedges, steamed broccoli... and maybe some cookies as a treat for dessert
• Around the house... I spent most of the day decluttering & cleaning the bedrooms upstairs -- cleaned out some dresser drawers, etc. I tossed an entire garbage bag of stuff- whoo hoo!
• One of my favorite things~ colorful fall leaves- I just love this time of year!
