More Freebies

During October P&G had a deal where if you purchased $30 worth of P&G you would get a free pink breast cancer cookware set with free shipping. I just couponed and bought $30 worth of diapers, which is something I would have to have anyways. It only took two months to arrive so I was very happy! Originally when I went to their site to track my shipping, it said it wouldn't be processed and shipped until February.



Wrapp an app that lets you send free gift cards to friends had free $10 gift cards to hayneedle.com. Since it was Thanksgiving the site had free shipping all week! I sent a few out to friends and some friends just gave me their gift card number because they didn't want it. I ended up getting myself and other gifts for under $20 below are pictures of the items that have come in so far.

Racheal Ray Spoon Set $2.99

Georgia Tech garden flag $1.99

Georgia Garden Flag $1.99


Rachael Ray Spoonula set $4.99

Nail Polish Rack (How to)

Since I was little I would always insist on getting nail polish every time I went to the dollar store. My mom would sometimes give my brother and me the option of getting a candy bar and a drink on Fridays. I however, would ask if I could get a nail polish instead. To this day I still treat myself to a bottle of polish about once or twice a month. My mom mails my daughter goody packages and she normally throws in a few polishes for me. After moving into my first home with my husband I quickly learned that I needed something to hold my polishes on so I could easily find the colors I want without having to open every baby wipes case. Yes, I store my polish in baby wipes cases. After moving 6 times in 3 years, you quickly learn the best ways of moving nail polish. With that being said, thank goodness for Pinterest. I came across this blog: http://polishedloveaffair.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-polish-rack.html    with a pattern for a nail polish rack. My husband's grandfather does wood work and was able to make my nail polish rack out of scrap wood. 

Here is a breakdown of the measurements:
This rack measures 3'X2'
We used 3"X1" wood to make the entire shelf.
The spacing between the shelves are 5 inches apart.

Below is a picture of my nail polish rack. We haven't hung it yet, because we are about to paint my bathroom. 



The nail polish rack is deep enough to be able to store the polishes two deep. I would suggest using ribbon to put in front of the polishes in case there is an earth quake or something so that the polishes don't all fall off. I haven't put anything in front of mine yet, but I am thinking of someway to. The blog lady suggests using string. 

I hope you have enjoyed my post, and please if you use the pattern let me know!
