A Neglected Blog

Wow.. my poor neglected blog!

A quick update on my life:

Still crafting – have donated quite a few items to various places.. But still have a lot of yarn left!

My cats – They are still crazy and enjoying destroying my couch :(

Blogging – I have several blogs going.. Some are neglected and others are current.  But I guess when you run a blog like a business and try to make an income from it, it makes it a bit different.

Writing – Still doing writing work and attempting to finish an e-book.  It is definitely a long process!

Saving Money – I have gotten into couponing more in the last few months.  I have had a few people ask me if I am an extreme couponer.  The answer is, not even close but I am working on it!

I am going to try and post here more often.  Likely my posts will be about my crafting and my couponing.  But I likely will post some pictures and stories from my trips that I have taken and whatever hits my fancy at the moment. 

Travelling Differences

I recently travelled to Ontario to meet up with my great friend Amanda.    She is actually from Ohio, but we decided to meet up in Southern Ontario.

It’s funny how little things you don’t even notice jump out at others when you are travelling.  For instance, Amanda likes to drink iced tea but here is it sweetened, whereas in the States is it not.   We made a stop at Costco and she had to check out all the different types of candy that we have here that she can’t get in the States.  I made her try poutine and wanted to feed her ketchup chips, but apparently they don’t make Old Dutch out east.

I enjoyed the fact that I was actually travelling in my own country and I did not have to change money, go through customs, or any of the other hassles of going to another country.

That being said, my next trip will likely be out of country.
