i have to get this out.,..

why won't anyone give my husband a chance?!?!?! i just don't understand. he's qualified for every job he applies for and doesn't even get a chance. i just don't understand. we're both at the end of our ropes and i don't know what we are going to do. we've prayed and prayed and prayed. and i just can't understand anything anymore.

disney fund deposit....

so i wrapped up july's grocery budget cash today. i had $26.69 leftover to put into the disney fund. grand total as of today, $42.92. it's a start. plus, it's not any extra money coming out of our budget. this is just savings from couponing and smart shopping. hopefully, i'll have a good increase to post in a couple weeks. i gotta requests my survey site checks for july. i got a pretty good balance in two of them.

well, again....

of the two jobs david is currently trying to get... one is a no. jill, i'm sure you know which one i'm talking about. deep down i know it isn't a bad thing cause this one would have not let us gone to church together, and that's really important to us both. so here's to hoping and praying and praying and hoping that this other door will open.

sunshine rewards....

i just joined sunshine rewards a couple days ago. they have disney gift cards you can earn. yay! so, i'm trying it out to see how it goes. the only thing i've done on it so far is a couple of surveys. see my banner on the side.

disney fund, the beginning...

i've been saying for the longest time i was going to start a disney fund ever since i stumbled upon couponing to disney. so i officially started it this week. i put a ticker at the bottom of the blog to track my progress. the first deposit - $16.23, leftover money from our grocery budget from the past two weeks. i don't even know when we'll go next year, but we really want to since it'll be the magic kingdom's 40th anniversary. i figure they'll do something special for the year. what am i saying, disney always does something special. i'm a disney dork, i know.

envelope system wallet...

with my leftover fabric from the purse organizers, i decided to try my hand at an orginal design. i've been wanting an cute envelope system off etsy, but i thought i might could make my own. so i made the envelopes out of scrapbooking cardstock. i made a template, then just glued them together. i've got them bound with ribbon. the toughest part was figurind dimensions to make sure everything fit. i'm pretty happy with it. i would use heavier weight interfacing next time and make the card pockets a little smaller.

purse organizer....

here's my latest creation. i gave this to someone i work with. this one turned out pretty good other than my seams on the end. me and my sewing machine's bobbin were at war with each other, hence the ribbon on the end. but i'm pretty happy with it. check out the super easy pattern here.

motivation....

i just haven't had it to blog lately. i guess there's just not much exciting going on. ever get a summer rut? i do every year. things slow down so much at work, not that it's a bad thing, but the days drag on and on. we've already gone on our big vacation for the year so i don't have that to look forward to. i think i need a couple days off and to go somewhere. just a change of scenery. maybe that'd help...
