Christmas gift BARGAIN!!!!

We set a holiday budget every year and I try my best to stick to it. I'm also a sucker for good deals and bargains but not so much getting out on Black Friday and fighting the crazy people.

Some girls in my online moms group passed along this deal and I couldn't pass it up. Here it is:

Target has the LeapFrog Tag Junior on sale for $28.99 until 11/25/09. Target also has a coupon for $10 off any LeapFrog Reading System, which I received in the mail but you can also print it here. AND you can use a LeapFrog manufacturer coupon for another $10 off.

With a whopping $20 off, you can have this item for $8.99!!!! Man, I feel great after finding a bargain. :)

Happy Pregnant Lady

An update to my previous post (because I know you're all losing sleep); I found my favorite candies at Walgreens!!! And a bonus, they're 99 cents!! Woohoo!!

My Favorite Halloween Candy EVER!!!!

Mary Janes Peanut Butter Kisses!! Oh yum yum yum! It never failed that I'd get tons of them because no one else liked them each Halloween.

However, this year I can't find them ANYWHERE! I've looked at Wal-Mart, Target, HEB, Party City and CVS; no luck. It's going to be a sad Halloween if I can't get some.

It's official, I'm a terrible saleslady!

I signed up to sell Uppercase Living in the Spring and to remain an active "Independent Demonstrator", you have to maintain a certain level of sales every quarter. Well, now I know that I would have a terrible career in sales because after 2 quarters, I'm being kicked out. But that's ok, I'm not crying over it or anything (besides I have my baking business now!).

SO, I wanted to let all my friends and family in on a little offer. As an "Independent Demonstrator", I get 25% off all Uppercase Living products (not including shipping + taxes). Before I get kicked out of UL, you can order anything you want, 25% off, through me. Trust me, I'm not getting a penny out of this, I just wanted to make the offer to everyone so y'all can get a great deal.

Unfortunately, they've already cut off my website ordering so you'll have to order directly through me, but it will still be shipped to you and I can still take credit cards and checks.

To see UL products go to http://mlocklear.uppercaseliving.net

I'll be kicked out of UL at the end of the 3rd Quarter, which is roughly the end of September. You can email me with questions or your order at missylocklear@comcast.net.

I want to Bunco

My mom has been in the same Bunco group since I can remember (maybe elementary or middle school?). Heck, even my grandma belongs to two groups!

I have to say that I'm super jealous of them because I really want to belong to a bunco group. My problem is that I don't have many friends that live nearby.

Does anyone know of any Pearland groups that need a new member?

(I have no idea who the ladies are in that picture, I just googled Bunco and that was a picture that came up)

Has anyone clicked on the pink cupcake to the right??

Wilton - Course 2 Class 4 - FINAL

This week was my final Course 2 class. I had to make 50 Primroses and 25 apple blossoms for my final cake, but I ended up running out of room on my cake so I didn't use them all. My instructor says they last for a really long time so I think I'll keep the rest of the flowers in case I need them in the future.

The cake is french vanilla with buttercream icing, pretty plain huh? I put vanilla baking chips in the cake batter to give it a little extra "oomph" and I think it turned out pretty yummy.

I also learned how to do the basketweave and rope border. Overall, it was a pretty fun class. But I'm REALLY looking forward to Course 3 where I learn how to work with fondant and tiered cakes!!
