Tara- Instructor Update

Hi Everyone-
 This is just an update to let you all know why I have not been posting lately. I was feeling really under the weather and finally came to the emergency room at Lexington Medical Center Thursday. They have kept me here for treatment and I will be here for the week at least.

I promise you I will get back to posting and teaching as soon as I get through the treatments here a the Hospital. I will be checking my email but only occasionally. If you need cake classes, jewelry classes or information please contact Michael's on Harbison at 803-407-7813 or email Kim at kimbocraig@juno.com and she will assist you if I cannot respond quickly enough.

I will miss you all while I am sitting in the hospital.

Cheap Thrill- Extra Coupons on Ebay

Good Morning-

Here is a little tip I picked up for acquiring more coupons. I have products that I use a ton of ( like confectioner's sugar- since I teach cake decorating). I never have enough coupons to stock up on the products I need a ton of - I would end up buying thirty newspapers to get enough coupons to buy all the sugar I need.

So here is my secret, I use Ebay and buy the coupons from someone who doesn't need them. For example, this week I purchased 20 coupons for .50 cents off Dixie confectioners sugar. I paid $1.95 for the coupons ( shipping included) - three days later I have twenty coupons that have a face value of $10.00 off sugar. This does not sound like such a great deal unless, you shop at a store like Publix that doubles coupons up to .50 cents. My net savings is really going to be $18.05 on the sugar and I should have enough to keep me stocked up all summer.

The other good news is if you go to Facebook on June 21st and like Dixie Crystals they will hook you up with free sugar!!! What a cheap thrill!!!!!
