This weekend only....hit your local OSH for 25% off select Craftsman power tools AND, the added perk of NO sales tax on anything you buy at their stores all weekend! If you are into home improvement projects as much as we are, then you know this is a deal not to be missed. What could be better than 25% off that compound sliding miter saw you have had your eye on, plus no sales tax? In Southern California, sales tax is pushing the 10% range, so it's like getting 35% off!
Girls, tell your men.....but, if you are like me, you use the power tools yourself, too! (No, they don't come in pink)
Happy Shopping!

Big Bark Nugget Sale!
OK, so the OSH Hardware radio commercials the past couple of days regarding the big bark nugget sale this Saturday crack me up! Why? Not really sure.....I just found it amusing to hear the phrase "bark nugget sale". The commercial boasts of all sizes of bark nuggets, mini up to the big ones. I don't know about you all, but I commonly refer to them as "woodchips", while in reality, they are nuggets of bark. When I heard the announcer man referring to the event as a "bark nugget sale" while I was stuck in traffic, daydreaming, it just made me laugh aloud. I heard it again this morning & I still laughed aloud. Yes, I am whacky......
Anyhow.....for those of you that enjoy home improvement projects or landscaping as much as we do, then you may want to take note here. Get over to OSH, this Saturday only, because the bark nuggets are 2 bags for the price of 1. It's a great deal!! They retail for around $4 a bag & you know you need several to properly populate your garden beds. They help retain soil moisture & discourage weeds. They have a unique aroma, in case you did not notice.....and that scent supposedly helps to deter other garden varmints that may wanna rain on your parade (literally). I had to use bark nuggets a lot at my last house because the neighborhood stray cats seemed to think our land was their giant litter-box. When you have a fresh batch of bark nuggets, it's apparently far less appealing to the local felines. How great is that???
So, get on over to OSH and stock up on your bark nuggets. It's a one-day event, this Saturday only.

Not much shopping lately....
I have not shopped much lately -- at least not for clothing or shoes! We spent a tiny fortune on a recent vacation and really need to cut back a bit for the time being....but that has not really stopped us with regard to buying for the home.
I think this weekend alone, saw 3 trips to Home Depot & 2 to Lowe's (the Lowe's trips were both in one day) -- and, we still need to go back! :) Since I hit both places in one weekend, I glanced around to compare prices.....sometimes, it seems Lowe's is cheaper & other times, it seems Home Depot wins out. This time, we browsed at small bathroom cabinets that you hang on the wall....since we yet again, have re-painted our "master" bathroom for like the 3rd time in less than 3 years! (Loved the last color, but due to other paint & decor changes upstairs, that bathroom needed to match better & now it does!). ANYHOW......both stores had nice cabinets, but overall, I guess Home Depot won on better pricing this time. One particular, very basic model was under $50 at Home Depot & over $60 at Lowe's. Otherwise, they had similar items with similar pricing & overall, they all cost too much for what they were -- laminated fiber-board with a cheap handle for the door! I would say most were close to $100 or more!!! We are seriously contemplating painting our brown one white -- but we all know how "fake wood" is not fond of paint. ha ha!!! We shall see....
So, our entire weekend consisted of trips like this, shopping for stuff many might consider boring (lamp-shades, paint, bathroom storage, window screen materials, caulk, wood trim, small rugs, etc.), but I had a blast -- I'm just exhausted now & I suspect my husband feels much the same way.
The home improvement process never ends for people like us -- we get bored & need to change stuff. We find something cool & HAVE to have it....which prompts everything around it in the house to be changed or moved! Ha ha ha!!! Sometimes, we want a larger home just so we can continue decorating....because we are running out of projects! It's kinda sad for people like us that LOVE to decorate. We have even been caught decorating for friends & relatives over the last couple of months / years because we can't do more & they ask for help -- so, we pack up some tools & head on out for FUN. Yes, it's FUN for us to move furniture, hang mirrors or shelves & mount a curtain rod on a Saturday night....as long as my man has a beer by his side & a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos for me, we are good to go! Have tool bag -- have creative skills, WILL travel!!! :)
Happy Shopping & Happy Decorating!!
