Crafty Sale at GoofingOff is Almost Over

Yep, it is almost over. The 40% discount on all bags, toys, and decorating sewing patterns and the kits will get put away until next year. The sale ends December 31st. If you didn’t get the crafty things you wanted this year, now’s the time to get it at a great price. Just go to the Toys, Bags, Kits section to see the patterns and kits on sale.

The next 40% discount sale will be on Children’s patterns. All those cute summer outfits, the Easter and Passover dresses, the adorable flower girl sewing patterns will be 40% off with the coupon code 4KIDS. The sale starts January 1st. Remember, many of these patterns are out of print and hard to find. I’ll be loading more to give everyone a good selection.

Well, got last minute shopping to do and a trip to the post office (ugh!!) so I got to go. Have a Happy Hanukkah, light the menorah, and don’t eat too many latkes.

Senior Citizen Discounts

I guess I am lucky. No one offers me the dreaded Senior Citizen Discount yet. Not that I mind saving money, hell, I am all about saving a few bucks, but if someone asks it means you look it. Kind of like being carded. The hubby, though, is another story. We went out for a bite the other night (fast food, not the healthiest, but it was a turkey burger so not totally evil). When the girl gave us the number to put on the table my hubby started joking about it being 65. Then the girl gave him a discount. When he asked her “Do I look that old?” she nodded. She looked all of 17. Poor man. We’ve been teasing him about it every since. A friend asked if she could take him shopping with her for discounts.

A look at the life others have in other parts of the world make me take a good look at the life I lead. I had the good fortune to meet a friend’s mom a couple of weeks ago. The woman is with the Peace Corps in Belize. The little things we take for granted, salads and matching clothes, are unheard of in the village she lives. You can read her heartfelt blog here Wan b' i from Belize!!! . Wonderful.

Voting is still going on for this week’s Etsy Picks.

Don’t forget the big Vogue Pattern sale this weekend in my Etsy shops. All Vogue patterns are 50% off. Use the coupon code Vogue50 in the Artfire shop. Discount will be refunded from the Etsy shop. Here’s a super cute pattern on Etsy:

Vogue 8149 in sizes 12-14-16 or 18-20-22

A lot of the Vogue patterns are out of print so if you love it, get it or you might not see it again.

Well, that’s all for now. Got some creating to do before going back to work.
