Viva La Home Depot!
We joined the Home Depot Garden Club last week and love it–there’s all kinds of info for growing in your geographic zone, advice from specialty gardeners, even a place for you to post your pictures and admire others! Of course, the best part are the coupons: $10.00 off on soil, BOGO free plants, 30% off a planter–and that’s just last week! Sign up here.
Then, there’s Home Depot Pro, this emailer used to be only for the contractors and such. Now WE can get the same discounts, early alerts and enterance to sales, and special coupons. The Todd saved a bundle on drywall and 4×4s during their last Pro Sale. Hurray for the amateurs! Sign up here for your goodies.
And, last but not least, The Home Depot Home Improver Club: access to free-bee workshops, and monthly focus on new projects with great coupons to go along with them. I followed along on the light fixture section…I learned how to change out my chandelier, and saved $45.00 on the one I replaced it with! You can sign up here for the same deals. This month, they’re focusing on laying tile.

Last-minute Valentine’s gifties!
Used to be you only had to worry about grabbing some roses for the better half on Valentine’s Day.

I downloaded two free-bee craft E Books and made some really cute things this weekend. Some of them are simple and achievable even for nine year old boys.

Gifts in a Jar…
A group of my equally finance-challenged girlfriends and I did this a few years back; we each got a case of Mason jars and had to come up with the most creative gifts packaged in the jars. Mine weren’t that clever (Editor’s note: yes, you’re so shocked, because you know what a Martha Stewart I am) I used my favorite chocolate chunk cookie recipe with the dry goods layered.
But my girlie Martha did a whole afternoon of kid’s activities in a jar…Caroline fit in a pair a shoes (don’t ask, it got weird) and Janna did the Mason jar Night of Romance. It was hysterical! Here’s an entire E Book called “Gifts in a Jar,” and it’s a free-bee! You can download it here. There’s some great ideas for last-minute gifties–nice to have in the closet when someone you didn’t plan on drops by with a gift for you. These cute home made ideas look far more personal than that candle with a ribbon hastily slapped on, eh?
