Have Kids? You need this Deal!

My kids are tired of winter.  They keep asking, "when will it be Summer?".  We keep our eyes on the mountains to see if the snow has melted yet. 

With our cabin fever setting in my kids have been earning rewards.  One of them is the Fun Park.  I also gave them coupons for Valentines day for bowling with a friend. 

This deal couldn't have come at a better time!

You can purchase gift certificates to the Fun Park for 50% off!  Plus, use coupon code CVFP20 to save an additional 20%. 

I was able to get $88 in gift certificates for only $35.20!

The gift certificates are mailed to you for only 99cents and they arrive in about 2 days.

Now, here is the fine print:  Only one gift certificate can be redeemed at a time and they cannot be used towards tokens.  No cash back will be given either. 

Have fun at the Fun Park as we patiently wait for warmer weather!

more progress...

I still can't find the right paint color for my bedroom so the wall now looks like this:

The only thing Ryan and I can agree on is to disagree.  Ryan wants something bold while I am going for more subtle elegance.  He hated the lighter blue (middle) until I decided to go with more of a grey blue and now he claims the light blue is the best.  I am getting tired of trying out paint samples.  Do you have the perfect color for me?
Good news is, I found a rug!  While waiting for my latest paint sample to be mixed at Home Depot, I wandered over to the rugs.  They had a stack of assorted rugs that they get shipped and offer for an incredibly low price.  I had a rug in mind online here but by the time I got the larger size I wanted and pay for shipping I was looking at over $300 on the low end and I cringed at the thought of paying upwards of $600!

This rug was actually 2 feet bigger in each direction than the ones I looked at online and was priced at only $197.  I think it works nicely.  Now if my fabric would hurry and get here!  Here is what I ordered: 

My brother says it looks like a grandmas house.  I don't care because I like it!

I went through a little drama over my fabric.  I had picked out a totally different print and had coordinating prints to match but when I went to place the order, JoAnn's  JoAnn Fabrics sadly let me know that my coordinating print that was tying the entire look together was no longer available.  I had already drug my kids to the store on 3 different occasions to pick out samples and their 50% off sale was ending within days.  I was determined to get this job done so I searched and searched fabric options.  2 hours later I was able to make a totally new decision that was completely different from my original idea. 

I found some coordinating blue on clearance to accent the first fabric for my valances.  The second print will be used as throw pillows along with some green fabric and gold fabric that I inherited from my Grandmother when she died. 

Well, there is the update...
