Menu Planning and Another Carnival

What a weekend! We were busy from the time after work on Friday to Sunday evening. We had fun at my sisters church out in Fairfield trunk or treating. Saturday we rose early in the morning and headed to Canton, TX to shop First Monday Market Days and it was crowded! Then drove over to Tyler, TX to stay the night and Sunday shopped a little bit more in Tyler and then played at Fire Mountain Amusement Park and then headed back home. I am tired even though I had an extra hour of sleep!

Nothing fancy this week since I need to run to the store after work. Here is our plan:


Monday~Tuna Tettrazini
Tuesday~Tacos
Wednesday~Out
Thursday~Spaghetti
Friday~Pizza and Salad

Menu Planning and a Carnival

I had a restful weekend, well sort of. Saturday we were busy just about all day with running to Walmart, Craft show and dinner with my parents at the Texas Roadhouse-yum! Since I wasn't feeling so great last week and we either went out or my sweetie picked something up on the way home, I didn't have to cook. Yay me! So this week I am repeating meals that didn't get made from last week.

Here is our plan:

Monday~Grill Cheese and Tomato soup

Tuesday~Hamburger Pie

Wednesday~Out

Thursday~Pizza and Salad

Friday~Fall Festival Food

Vintage Aprons

Head on over to Confessions of an Apron Queen to participate.

This is the post from her site:
In 1928, Herbert Hoover promised “a chicken in every pot & a car in every garage”… Today, I’m promising a vintage apron around every waist!
Rick Rack Attack is moving on up! A year ago, if you Googled “vintage aprons”, Rick Rack Attack was literally on the 200th page. I bet ya’ll didn’t even know there was 200 page results for “vintage aprons”. Today, Rick Rack Attack has climbed to the 4th page on Google. I am absolutely tickled with our growth & success. But, I don’t want to stop until we’re on the 1st page!
Unfortunately, I am sorely lacking in an important area in search engine placement- other websites & blogs with links to Rick Rack Attack. So, this is where ya’ll come in. I need your help! And I’m not ashamed to ask for it! And I’ll even bribe ya’ll with vintage aprons to help me shamelessly promote my website.
Here’s the deal… If you place the above button on your blog or your website & link to Rick Rack Attack, I’ll mail you a free vintage apron! How easy is that?!

Pay-It-Forward

I was surfing blog land and clicked onto Diane's blog, Pitty Pat Papery. (You can click on her blog under my Daily Inspirations.) She was having a pay-it-forward giveaway. I quickly left a comment and was a winner of this absolutely perfect pocketbook calendar with the matching pen. I was doing the happy dance! I am always needing a calendar and this fits perfectly into my book bag. Here is the picture of my winnings.

Since it was a pay-it-forward giveaway, now it's my turn to do it. I'll send an altered journal, similar to the one below, to the first three people who comment on this post. The rule is that those three people will send something handmade to the first three people who comment on their pay-it-forward post. It doesn't have to be big, just a little sweet handmade thing and it doesn't have to be right away, either. You have within a year to get your item out to them but sooner the better because you may forget! Make sure when you comment that I can contact you. Also, the winners can tell me what colors they might like.

Thanks for playing!
