*But I have a lot of other interests as well. Actually, I had no idea that I had so many until I hooked up with Squidoo. Take a peek, you just might find that we have something in common besides shopping. ;) They are all here!
Solar Multicolor LED Christmas Lights
Solar Multicolor LED Christmas Lights
Amazon Price: $19.00 (as of 12/01/2009)

Love You Forever
Love You Forever
Amazon Price: $5.95 (as of 12/01/2009)
Such a sweet book and the perfect Mother's Day gift. :)
Celtic Women
A New Journey (Deluxe Package w/bonus tracks + Irish charm)
Amazon Price: $22.99 (as of 12/01/2009)
I listened to this on the plane coming back from California... I think that was the flight. Great album and being able to choose what music you wanted to listen to really helped pass the time. And I might not have listened to the cd if it hadn't been on the list. Loved that feature and loved the music too!
A Little Magic
Fine Silver Plated Lead-Free Pewter Cinderella Princess Charm 19mm (1)
Amazon Price: $0.94 (as of 12/01/2009)
I was originally looking for a sexy pair of slippers if there is such a thing and then spotted this charm instead. Hey, a little magic can't hurt!
The Bobo Glove and Book
Bobo Glove and Book
Amazon Price: $12.89 (as of 12/01/2009)
Your toddler will have hours of fun the minute you slip your hand into this glove!
Yogurt Maker
Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker
Amazon Price: (as of 12/01/2009)
We have looked and looked and looked for a yogurt maker up here in Canada. No one seems to be selling them. We bought one back in the early 80 and used it all the time. (I think we wore it out) Now that we are getting tired of boring store flavors, we want to start making our own again. It seems the easiest way is to simply buy it online!
And have you noticed how expensive store bought yogurt is these days. Makes buying your own machine look like a bargain!
And when you make your own, you get to control how much sugar goes into it. I've been reading labels lately and sometimes it's scary. If you have to control your sugar, this is definitely the way to go!
Milkshakes All Around
Oster 6627 100-Watt Milkshake Drink Mixer, Chrome
Amazon Price: $55.75 (as of 12/01/2009)
I swear... I used one of these to make milkshakes when I was working in a restaurant during high school. Suddenly I have the worst craving for a chocolate milkshake.
5 Things Stores Don't Want You to Know
1. Items are put at eye level so that they will instantly grab your attention. Remember that the next time you hit the supermarket.2. Stores love Gift Certificates because more than half of them are never used.
3. Items are often marked down because the store often wants to simply get rid of it. You have to wonder about store buyers and if they make a mistake, it passed along to you. And there are some people who simply can't pass up a bargain, whether it's worth it or not.
4. If the store is playing music, it is done so with a reason. They look at the age group of their customers and choose accordingly. If you like what is being played, you will stay longer.
5. Have you ever noticed that if you are offered a shopping cart to push around, chances are that you will put more items in it. That is why all sorts of stores now offered the convenience of shopping carts. It's not to help you out. The stores know that you will buy more if they make it easy for you. Same goes for the kid's shopping carts. Kids put items in, Mom pays for it.

Summer Furniture
9ft Outdoor Patio Parasol Rotating Tilt - Natural
Amazon Price: (as of 12/01/2009)

My advice... if you see something, buy it. When you return it might not be there or just increased in price!

Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster
Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black
Amazon Price: (as of 12/01/2009)
We have a four slice toaster that we should have gotten rid of ages ago.
1. One side only toasts ONE SIDE OF THE TOAST at a time.
2. The other side needs to be held down in place with a rubber spatula to toast which leads to a lot of burning.
We have set off the fire alarm so many times. Yes, I think that its time for a new one and I like the look of this one. Imagine, four slices of toast at a time!!
