Frou Frou Gypsy in Combat Boots

oops! a bit late....but i'll post 'em anyway. March in review: April in review: May in review:

My FAMILY and i just went on a 12 day vacation. We started out with our traditional week at Panama City Beach, FL and then continued on to Orlando to stay 4 nights at the Nickelodeon Hotel and got to Universal Orland's Islands of Adventure. We laid pretty low at the Beach. Happily there was no oil on the beach (yet). We were all sort of waiting on the "next leg" of the vacation. We swam and spent a little time on the sand. We went to the outlet mall for a few hours in Destin. We went out to eat at Hammerhead Fred's one night. ( my daughter said that was one of her top three fun things of the trip! go figure!) The trip was mostly funded by my gracious parents so there was lots of quality grandparent time. We also had a smattering of (grown) cousins with us for the week we spent at the beach. After a week of relaxation and a disagreement or two, we headed off to Orlando. We checked into our hotel late that afternoon and the kids were DELIGHTED that they had a sponge bob

So I have been working on T shirts for us all for our trip; little Potter dorks that we are! Can you guess which shirt is mine? *wink* I improved as i went a long, but they all turned out wearable! I just can't wait!

in a bout a week my family and i will be headed south to the beautiful beaches of Panama City. At least i hope they are beautiful! I hope this oil spill mess hasn't ruined it for us. We will go anyway and enjoy the pool and the fun, even if we can't enjoy the actual beach! After that, we are headed even farther south to Orlando to stay at the Nickelodeon Hotel for a few days and to go to Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventures! We are especially excited to be arriving after the Wizarding world of Harry Potter opens! Muggles that we are, we love our Harry! I am really excited about the trip, though i have to admit it feels wrong to go to Orlando and not visit the mouse. I just might have to pop over to Downtown Disney for some Magic while we are there; i don't know if i can stand it!

This is one of my fave deals of the week! Go here and print your SOBE coupons that have been reset!!! you should be able to print two (per computer) and then go to the Target site and print their store coupon for .50 off One SOBE lifewater. They have them on sale this week 10/$10...and you get a $5 gift card for buying 10!!! So you can combine as many BOGO coupons as you can print...with as many .50 off one as you can print ( store coupons stack with manuf. coupons) to get your ten for as low as free, or $4.50 depending if they will let you use more than one .50/1 , the target Q does say one per transaction. AND THEN you get a $5 gift card back!!! Sales reset on Sunday....so go! go! (when i did this deal earlier in the week, i had 2 store Qs and they let me use both, depends on your checker)
