Shelves for Stockpiling

I wanted to let all of u know that i got me some shelves over the weekend i'm going to be organizing them and i will post pics of them when i complete them.  I got 4 of them so i'm hoping that will be good and they are big shelves.  So now i just have to make room for them.  I wanted to be more organized with my couponing adventure.  I have so much fun couponing and i love to save money on my bargains that i find. 


Look forward to seeing updated pics of my stockpiling pics.  I think its great considering i just started in March so its 2 months worth of stockpiling.  I will keep u posted.  Check my blog in a few days .  Tomorrow i plan on starting on getting an area started for my shelves before i go to work so i will update with pics when i'm done.  

One of my favorite Hobbies !!!!


This is one of my favorite hobbies is putting together puzzles.  It did take me awhile b/c its 1,000 piece puzzle but its finally done.  But it made me mad b/c when i got it done there was 1 piece missing.  I have searched and searched for it and i can't find it !!!!  Well time to start a new one. 

Just thought i would share something with u guys !!!
