LaurieLu's Profile

I would check out TJ Maxx, I get all my le creuset from there, and I second the Cost Plus World Market, saw a great there one when I was in Phoenix but was already over my luggage weight so couldn't bring it back.

I second the Magnolia bakery way, but I also use a pastry bag with either a large star tip (if I am also using sprinkles) or a large round tip. I'm less tempted to eat the icing when it doesn't get on my fingers ;)

It might be helpful to readers to mention the brand of paint....I know they are Benjamin Moore because its what I use most often, and maybe I have an old paint fan because Swiss Coffee is OC-60 on mine.

I bought some spacebags on my last trip to Florida in the hopes of making more room in my suitcase. I wasn't able to close it with all my clothes in the space bags, but I could when I just rolled my clothes and put them in.

I think they are great for storing extra bedding and comforters though!

And yes Kristinm100, they are re-useable.

I bought a newer home in Gilbert, AZ in a gated community with pool for $105K for a winter home. Paid Cash.

Warm all year round and lots to do.

I have 5 more offers in AZ right now, all for under $90K for homes and condos that sold for $250K - $388K.

Better deals in the South. Better climate.

I live in Canada.

If you are crossing borders you are best to keep all pills in their original bottles. Some meds that are legal in US are not legal elsewhere...such as Aleve! I had my pro-biotics in atiny tupperware container and they were confiscated at the airport when I went to Mexico in December.

Heh, the boots match.

I love your sofa! Your place looks great :)

My mom has those bowls, she broke the big yellow one though...thanks to this post I found them on ebay and bought here a new yellow one! Thanks!

That looks amazing. It makes me sad that I gave away most of my books though, due to lack of storage :( Color me green with envy!
