I love to sew but I often get frustrated because it seems that there aren't any good fabric stores anymore. They are now "craft centers" with limited selections of good fabric at good prices. Hancock Fabrics used to be one of my favorite fabric stores until the one near my home closed. I was so excited to see that you can now buy from Hancock Fabrics ONLINE! Even better, they are having a huge Labor Day sale! Now through September 7th you can save up to 50%. Check it out:

Just Between Friends started in 1997 when its founders, Shannon Wilburn and Daven Tackett, held their first sale in Shannon's living room. It has since grown into a franchise system like no other, serving local communities by offering the best experience inconsignment events.
Just Between Friends - a Savings Extravaganza! Each franchise owner usuallyhosts 2 huge shopping events each year. At these events, consignors bring their new and gently-used children's and maternity merchandise to sell. Shoppers can then browse and purchase these items at great savings, usually far below retail prices. Consignors can make up to 70% on their sales! Volunteers who work the sales can shop early before the general public and consignors.
Back when my kids were little I participated in a few JBF sales.
It was a great way to earn money for gently used clothes, shoes, and toys
and a lot easier than having a garage sale!
The Next Event: To find an event near you just visit the JBF website.
Attention DFW Moms: Volunteers Needed!
Volunteers shop early before the general public and consignors.

Are luxury spa treatments only for the wealthy? For most of us, spa treatments like laser hair removal, wrinkle reduction, and skin rejuvenation are luxuries that only wealthy people or celebrities can afford. Normal people like us can't justify spending the money on such frivolities when the average cost per treatment is $200 - $900. Personally, if I could permanently get rid of this hair on my chin, I would pay any amount, but in reality I can't. Remember, I AM a teacher!
Now we CAN afford luxury! The National Laser Institute Medical Spa has asked me to get the word out that there is now an extremely affordable way to zap away wrinkles, crinkles, and creases without taking out a second mortgage! National Laser Institute Medical Spa offers high-tech laser beauty treatments at year-round low prices that rival even the best deal-a-day promotions. Now everyone can afford to get the treatments that have always been out of reach!
You DO NOT want to miss this event: When: Friday, July 29 10:00am - 6:00pm Saturday, July 30 10:00am - 9:00pm; Skin Scene events starting at 1:00pm & 6:30pm
Location: National Laser Institute Medical Spa 3850 W. Northwest Highway, Suite 1100/Dallas, TX 75220 inside "The Shops at Bluffview" (214) 252-7800
During the the 2-day grand opening celebration The National Laser Institute Medical Spa will be giving away thousands of dollars worth of laser treatments to the community and demonstrating the latest high-tech procedures.
Complimentary cocktails and hors d'oeuvres
Attendees will also receive their choice of free laser hair removal or a photofacial treatment.
The first 200 people to purchase a treatment on Friday morning for a later date will receive free Latisse, an eyelash-enhancing favorite of celebrities like Brooke Shields and Claire Danes
The fun continues on Saturday with two meet and greet Skin Scene parties hosted at the spa. Guests will learn about the hottest new treatments and the technology behind the latest anti-aging procedures.
All in attendance on Saturday will be entered into a drawing for the chance to win free Botox and Juvederm
*UPDATE* Become a “group leader” for the event. Group leaders will receive one $100 Gift Certificate, toward any treatment, for the first 5 people they get to attend the Grand Opening. For every five attendees after that the Group Leader will receive a $50 gift certificate, totaling up to $200. Attendees should mention their group leader’s name upon checking in at the event.
My favorite part: Giving back to the community:
National Laser Institute will donate ALL PROCEEDS to Susan G. Komen for the Cure!
This applies to all laser treatments scheduled before August 6 - be sure and mention the charity when you book your appointment.

If you live in Fort Worth you are going to love today's Groupon - $10 for $20 at Ol' South Pancake House. This place has been an iconic Fort Worth favorite for years. It's even better late at night - which is our favorite time to go!

I went to Staples today and took advantage of some of their "Extreme Deals".
The Bic Pens, Glue, and cap erasers were $0.01 each! Items are limited to 2 per person UNLESS you are a teacher! Teachers can buy up to 25 of these items.
The folders, pencil cases, and reams of paper were $0.25 each (limit 2)
The Post-it notes, glue sticks, Sharpies, and stickies were $1.00 each (limit 2)
Staples is having a week-long sale on school supplies. You better hurry because these deals won't last long. Hopefully by limiting the items to 2 per customer, our extreme couponing friends won't be able to clear the shelves before we can get there;-) One of the deals is for a ream of copy paper @ $5.99. Staples is offering a $5.74 Easy Rebate which makes the final price $0.25 (limit 2 rebates per household). Other deals include $1.00 Sharpies, $1.00 Post-it die cut notes, and $0.01 cap erasers!
My Kindergarten teacher friend Michelle sent this picture from her phone this morning to let me know that Target has lined whiteboards for $1! Better hurry because these won't last very long! What a great classroom tool!
My students use a planner everyday to record homework assignments and other important information. I also use the planner to communicate with the parents and let them know how their child's day went. If they had a great day, I usually put a sticker or stamp. Using stickers every day can get expensive and stamp pads are messy. This stamp is self-inking and will make the end-of-day pack up time go much more smoothly.
*Paid shipping costs **I was not compensated for this post, however the link to Vistaprint is a referral link and I will earn a small payment for every order from this link.
....and my Summer Reading Program is in full swing!
I have already read The Daily 5 and; Places and Spaces but I will be taking another look at them, along with the others, as I plan for the upcoming school year. Web 2.0 is a must read for any teacher who wants to integrate technology into the classroom. It covers blogging, social networking, podcasts & vodcasts, applications, and much more! I started reading it in the bookstore today and couldn't put it down. Unfortunately, the bookstore price was $35.00 but I was able to download it for $12.95. Some of the other books are available for download at a lower price also. The Amazon widget above has links to books and downloads. The links showing prices are for the books. Generally, the downloads are at least 50% less! Now that's a frugal find!
Join me as I count down to the first day of school on my Countdown to... page. I will share my thoughts and activities leading up to the first day of school!

I am not a scrapbooker. I do not have black and white photos of my family displayed in stylish frames around my home. I take a lot of pictures and post them on Facebook. I have boxes and albums full of photos taken on 35mm film from when my kids were little, but when the digital camera took over, I stopped getting prints. I'm a terrible mom!
Now that my oldest daughter will be a senior next year, I thought we better get some family portraits done before she goes off to college. Our last family photo was taken at Walmart when she was 8!I'm a terrible mom!
So! I asked my friend Sarah of Photography SJB to do some family shots. My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary this year and I wanted some special pictures of us before we got too old-looking. A few days ago she sent us a "sneak peek". She is still editing the rest, but so far I am VERY happy. Now, here's the problem: When I finally get the disk with all of the pictures, I need to do something immediately or it will end up a drawer. I'm a terrible mom!
But wait! I have found a solution! CanvasPeople.com is offering a free 8 x 10 or $50 off any size canvas as a special introductory deal! I can apply this coupon toward a larger size canvas, creative effects, or beautiful frames. I could also get a 50% off my second canvas and 50% off shipping. Now there's no reason why I can't get beautiful, high quality portraits to display in my home! I'm a GREAT mom!
**Prices are still good on most of these deals from 7/6-7/12 - check your circular!
Today I went to Kroger to take advantage of the week's sales before the new prices start tomorrow. I used a lot of coupons and got some good prices. The total savings on my receipt was $57.86 - 62%! Here are some of the highlights:
