Thank you to all that has been helping my family since I have been in Michigan with my mom. My dad died last thursday from a heart attack , he was only 56!
Thanks to all who gave toys for the toy drive that I had been putting together for the last month. I don't know how it turned out, but I will find that out when I get back home. The drawing should be done soon after for the gift certificate.
I probably will not be posting until after the new year. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
God Bless and please take a moment to tell your loved ones you love them before it's too late!

1st Annual Christmas Toy Drive
This is going to be such a fun and rewarding drive to do! I hope that most if not ALL of our neighborhood can participate in this wonderful toy drive. At last count there were over 500 children in need. Over 100 of those attend Community Schools!
Pickup of toys will be December 13th around 2:00 p.m. Please do not wrap your donations. Leave them hanging on your front door or in clear view for me to see. If you're not comfortable leaving it outside, then please call me and I'll pick it up before then. Cheri at 972-843-4545
Remember also to leave your name and phone number with your donation. These will be entered into a drawing for a $25 gift card to one of the three following restaurants of your choice: SaltGrass, Olive Garden, or Chilis.

13 Shopping Days Left
Any ideas from anyone on how to get in the Christmas mood this year? I have had a couple of people ask me, and I am like umm??
Recycling day is today. Please remember that NeSmith Elementary is doing a fundraiser by collecting paper and newspapers to recycle. Please drop this stuff off at the school in their drop boxes in the parking lot.
13 Shopping Days means 13 days left until Christmas, which means thirteen days until Christmas. You still have time to decorate your front yards and help our community look festive!
Bently Farms Toy Drive is this Saturday!
Also, I forgot to post yesterday. A resident of Bently Farms called me this morning to say he had taken in a stray Poodle last night because it was cold. He was calling SPCA to pick it up this morning but I thought I’d let you know just in case through your network you hear of someone who is missing a Poodle. I have the man’s name and number.

Money Savings Tip
Do a “maintenance run” on your appliances. Check them to make sure there isn’t any dust clogging them and that they’re fairly clean. Look behind the appliances, and use your vacuum to gently clear away dust. Check all of the vents, especially on refrigerators, dryers, and heating and cooling units. The less dust you have blocking the mechanics of these devices, the more efficiently they’ll run (saving you on your energy bill) and the longer they’ll last (saving you on replacement costs).
Freebies for the Day
I’ll check later to see if any new freebies have been added. If so, I will add them then!

14 Shopping Days Left - That's two weeks exact!
Sorry I didn't post earlier, just been way busy with embroidery! Speaking about, does anyone need any thing embroidered for Christmas? Let me know!
Remember Toy Drive pickup is Saturday around 2:00! Leave your gift on your door knob or out where I can see it. If you don't want to put it outside, please call me: 972-843-4545 Cheri
Freebies for the Day!
Sorry there aren't any that I see today! The boards are empty do to it getting close to Christmas. I will look tomorrow!
Health Tip
Fragrance for Pleasant Dreams and Restful Sleep
Researchers have found that exposing scented roses to volunteers in their sleep can help in having pleasant dreams. Studies on a group of 15 volunteers who were exposed to smells of rotten eggs and roses for 30 nights have indicated that smell has an effect on human emotions. After exposing the volunteers to these smells, they were woken up and asked to recollect their dreams. Those exposed to floral scents recorded having pleasant positive dreams and those exposed to the unpleasant smell of rotten eggs were recorded as having negative dreams.
Money Savings Tip
Don’t spend money just to de-stress. Quite often, I used to spend money just to wind down from a stressful day at work. Instead, I’ve found that I quite often feel much better by going home and taking some quiet time just to stretch and then meditate. I end up feeling much more together, happy, and ready to face an evening with the kids in the right mindset than I ever would by just blowing some cash after work. Instead of spending to de-stress, try some basic meditation techniques, stretching, or yoga and see how you feel.

Brrrrrrrr! Make sure to bundle up today, it’s very chilly outside today!
I found out that a chain letter I am guilty of sending out yesterday regarding Bill Gates paying for every forwarded email is just a spoof! Sorry ladies; it would have been nice.
Any family blogs you would like to share with our community. We would love to follow your family’s blogs!
It’s mid week, please remember our Christmas toy drive this Saturday!!
Any birthdays, anniversaries, new babies, or new announcements you would like to announce? Please forward them to our website.

Johnson's Save $3 on 3 products, any Johnson's product (except 4 oz.) qualifies including Desitin and Johnson's Buddies
Money Savings Tip
Challenge yourself to try making your own things. Before I tried it myself, I thought homemade bread making was complicated and a waste of time and money. I came to find out that it was pretty easy and it was actually much cheaper, healthier, and tastier than buying a loaf from the store. Now, we rarely ever buy bread products at the store - and we save money by making that choice.
Health Tip
Reduce Stress Easier said than done, stress busters come in many forms. Some techniques recommended by experts are to think positive thoughts. Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like. (i.e.,Soak in a hot tub; walk on the beach or in a park; read a good book; visit a friend; play with your dog; listen to soothing music; watch a funny movie. Get a massage, a facial or a haircut. Meditate. Count to ten before losing your temper or getting aggravated. Avoid difficult people when possible. Thought for the day: When seeing red, think pink clouds….then float on them.

16 Shopping Days Left, Oh My!!
Remember Tina’s Gold Party is this evening! See her info on yesterday’s post!
Tomorrow is trash day. We may be having gusts up to 40 mph winds, so make sure you bring your garbage cans back where they won’t end up back in the street!
We are brought the toy drive banner and blog site sign that were up front in for the day because the wind. They will be put back out on Wednesday!
Freebies for Kids
Lil Critters Vitamins Email them and ask them if you could get some free samples of their vitamins and they will send you some.
Free Bittywink Toy (USA) Register and receive a free Bittywink in color of your choice!
Health Tip
To add strength to leg muscles and get a cardiovascular workout at the same time, try climbing plain old stairs. This can be done at home, in your office, apartment building, or on stair-climbing machines in the gym. Climbing two steps at a time is good for building the quadriceps (thigh muscles) and the gluteus (butt). Going down steps builds strength in the quadriceps and to a lesser extent, the hamstrings.
Money Savings Tip
Do a price comparison - and find a cheaper grocery store. Most of us get in a routine of shopping at the same grocery store, even though quite often it’s not the one that offers the best deals on our most common purchases. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to find the cheapest store around. Just keep track of the twenty or so things you buy most often, then shop for these items at a variety of stores. Eventually, one store will come out on top for your purchases - just make that one your regular shopping destination and you’ll automatically save money.

Yeah, I have our Christmas Toy Drive Banner in hand. I will work to get it up front sometime in the morning! I think it is an awesome way to show how friendly our neighborhood is going to be.
Also, it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend, so come on out and decorate your homes and yards for Christmas!
Freebies For The Day!
PhotoStamp is offering one free custom stamp to the boys and girls in the U.S. to help them make their letter to Santa stand out this year. Parents and their children can simply visit www.photostamps.com/santa, upload their photos or design, and place the order. The Santa PhotoStamp will arrive in one week or less – just in time for the letter to be mailed to the North Pole.
Too Cute!
Here's a cute freebie to occupy your little ones this weekend:
ctor Seuss Gift Tags
Money Savings Tip
When you are going to be on vacation or are not going to drive a vehicle for a few weeks for some reason call your insurance company and suspend the coverage on the vehicle. Hardly anybody knows they can do this. Insurance companies earn the premium you pay up front during each day the policy is in force. When coverage is suspended they do not earn any premium for those days … your money is still there when you reinstate the coverages and you only pay for the days you’re using the vehicle. You can keep the comprehensive coverage and suspend everything else - you’ll still be covered for theft, vandalislm, etc. if something happens to your car while you’re gone but you don’t have to pay for liability. DON’T PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU’RE NOT USING.

If you by chance missed Norma’s Pampered Chef party last night, I’m sure if you get a hold of her today she could still add something to her order for you!
Recycling day is today. Please remember that NeSmith Elementary is doing a fundraiser by collecting paper and newspapers to recycle. Please drop this stuff off at the school in their drop boxes in the parking lot.
Recipes
I find it hard to believe that no one has a good recipe to share for a neighborhood recipe book! Come on guys the holiday is coming up and you have to have that one of a kind recipe!
Money Savings Tip
Hide your credit cards. Take your credit cards and put them in a safe place in your home, not in your wallet where it’s easy to spend them. If you argue that you need it for “emergencies,” just be sure to keep a small amount of cash hidden in your wallet for these emergencies. Don’t keep plastic on you until you have the willpower to not use it even when you’re sorely tempted.
Freebies For The Day
Print the new Johnson's coupon to Save $3 on 3 products and pick-up some free Johnson's Buddies soaps! Hit the back button to print it a second time. They are priced at $1 or just below at several stores including Target, Walmart, CVS, and Kroger. Never pay for your kids soap again!
Not everyone is a winner this time in the Chevron Techron Trivia Game but there will be 84,700 people who win a $5 gift card to Chevron and you can enter daily until December 31! Please check the list of eligible states because there are only 24 on the list. There is a limit of one game play per day per household. You will need to validate your email withing 72 hours (I received validation email immediately after winning their last trivia game in ) and you will receive your gift card by mail within 3 to 4 weeks. I played this for the first time this evening and won, yeah!! -- Cheri

Freebies for Kids
Get a free sample of GoodNites by Huggies. You can select boys or girls, two different sizes. And yes, this is a new sample but one that has been offered many times from Walmart. They want to send it to you again!
Mom’s Freebie
Get a free sample of Glad Forceflex trash bag. Yes, the same sample that Sam's Club mailed out last summer. Cool, I like getting free trash bags in the mail.
Health Tip
Here’s a new treatment for burns that I have never heard of until my father-in-law was burned by a pan on Thanksgiving day! Immediately dampen a paper towel with milk and put on burn. In most cases’ the milk will keep it from festering up.
Money Savings Tip
Clean your car’s air filter. A clean air filter can improve your gas mileage by up to 7%, saving you more than $100 for every 10,000 miles you drive in an average vehicle. Plus, cleaning your air filter is easy to do in just a few minutes - just follow the instructions in your automobile’s manual and you’re good to go.

I brought our blog sign in for the day so that the wind doesn't begin to bend it!
If you need to post something out in the front using the lamppost, can you please make sure to later go out and get the paper and tape back of the lamppost. Let’s keep our neighborhood looking fresh.
Also after the trash man goes on Tuesday try and get your garbage cans back up to the house or else they become road hazards. I know someone was ever so gracious to pull mine up yesterday. Thanks for that!
If you didn’t make it up to Tracey’s jewelry party last night and still need something, make sure to get a hold of her today!

Arby's Extras - Someone told me to join, so I did, and they sent me a printable coupon for a FREE Medium Mint Chocolate Swirl Shake, yum!
Money Savings Tip
Install a programmable thermostat. These devices regulate the temperature in your house automatically according to the schedule that you set. Thus, when you’re not home, it allows the heating or cooling to turn off for several hours, saving you on your energy bill. A programmable thermostat can easily cut your energy bill by 10 to 20%.
Health Tip
Don’t tell yourself you can’t do something. Negativity only brings out negativity. Tell yourself you can which is positive and see a positive outcome!
Notes
I brought our blog sign in for the day so that the wind doesn't begin to bend it!
If you need to post something out in the front using the lamppost, can you please make sure to later go out and get the paper and tape back of the lamppost. Let’s keep our neighborhood looking fresh.
Also after the trash man goes on Tuesday try and get your garbage cans back up to the house or else they become road hazards. I know someone was ever so gracious to pull mine up yesterday. Thanks for that!
If you didn’t make it up to Tracey’s jewelry party last night and still need something, make sure to get a hold of her today!

23 Shopping Days Left - Countdown on!
Tracey Wolf is having a Premiere Jewelry Party at her home this evening 7:00 p.m. Please click here to see her invitation. Sorry about the late notice!!
Freebies for Kids
Get a free sample of GoodNites by Huggies. You can select boys or girls, two different sizes.
Mom’s Freebie
Get a free sample of Glad Forceflex trash bag.
Health Tip
Water and other fluids. You can't flush a cold out of your system, but drinking plenty of liquids can help. Water, juice, clear broth or warm lemon water with honey helps loosen congestion and prevents dehydration. Avoid alcohol, coffee and caffeinated sodas, which make dehydration worse.
Money Savings Tip
Swap books, music, and DVDs cheaply on the internet via services like Paper Back Swap. You can very easily swap the books and CDs and DVDs you’ve grown bored with via the internet with others. Just use sites like Paper Back Swap, clean out your media collection, and trade them with others online. The best part? You’ll get a flood of new books (or CDs or DVDs) to enjoy, mailed right to you - for free. www.Paperbackswap.com

And The Countdown Begins!
24 Shopping Days Left!
It's A Party!
Norma Martin just stopped by and wants to let everyone know that she is having a Pampered Chef party this Thursday evening. Please click here to see her flyer! I am sure it would be an awesome opportunity to buy those hard to find gifts!
Well it's hard to complain about the weather. We finally received some much needed rain, although I guess the wind could go away! It's not making decorating our yards and homes very easy for Christmas! Our temps are supposed to stay up in the low to mid 60s for the next week so that will be nice. Just make sure to bundle up in the morning when it still is chilly outside! The wind is supposed to go by Thursday!
Our phone directory is coming along nicely. Slowly but surely, we are collecting everyone's info. If you haven’t sent us your info for our phone directory, please email us your phone number, name, address, and email address. We won’t give this out to anyone, but us here in our neighborhood.
Today is cyber Monday. There are some awesome deals on the Internet today to take advantage of. Make sure to visit Retailmenot.com where you can find codes and special savings to many, many online stores!
Freebie for Men
Monday is supposed to be Freebies for Men, but I don't see anything today. There is however an awesome off through Ebay!
Here's how to save up to 40% with a coupon + Microsoft Cashback:
1. Search for an item on www.live.com.
2. Click the sponsored ad with the Microsoft cashback symbol You'll be taken to eBay.com.
3. Make sure the item is Buy It Now and the seller accepts PayPal. If the item is eligible,you'll see a cashback notice on the "commit to buy" page.
4. Enter code: CSHOPEBAY2008.
Pay with PayPal before midnight PT on Dec 1, 2008.
Health Tip
Drink lots of orange juice. This contains vitamin C that helps boost your immune system. Ditch the soda and kids boxed drinks and give them a dose of good old OJ!
Money Savings Tip
Get DVDs from the library. Many libraries now have movies on DVD that can be checked out. If your library offers this service, it sure beats paying Blockbuster or Netflix.
