Karen’s Opinion

Hey, if you are stocking up on gifts for next Christmas, I have lowered the price on one of my Christmas purses. This purse measures 16″ w x 8″ tall and has a 4″ depth.

The handles have a 10″ drop and measure 25″ from handle end to handle end. It fits great over the shoulder or to carry by the handles. The outside pocket is great for grabbing keys and cell phones quickly. It is quilted heavily with batting and is a sturdy well made purse. The handles are reinforced with double stitching and I used two thicknesses of timtex to make them very durable. It closes with a heavy duty zipper.

It has three inside pockets!

I love the fabric covered button.

Feel free to wander over to my Etsy Shop to see the other purses I have made.

I have made a commitment to my computer. Whenever it moves slower than I think it should or it messes up in some way, I stroke it. Yes, I feel like throwing it into the yard but I stroke it. I say, “nice computer” and hope it moves faster and works more efficient. I love my HP laptop. It has a 17″ screen that allows me to have several windows open at a time. The picture is so clear on my HP. I also love my 15″ HP laptop that I inherited from my daughter! I am not sure if stroking them works or not but it makes feel better than going into a rage. Can you imagine what it must be like to be a computer?

Oh no! she is downloading another thousand pictures! She doesn’t understand what that does to me. I am two years old and she thinks I am spry. I wish I were spry. I would love to be a new shiny HP. I have been lugged around so much that my keys have begun to fall off and the ones that don’t fall off are stuck because of all those macadamian nut cookies she eats while typing. Sheesh, you would think she would know better. I wish there was a way to let her know about the great deals you can get at HP. While supplies last, you can get $500 off instantly when you purchase an HP HDX 16t with $300 coupon code NBN3248 + $200 Instant Rebate! Now, as always there are applicable restrictions and exclusions so she will need to go to HP’s website and check it out. I can only hope she acts on this so I can have a much needed rest.

Attention Kmart shoppers! We have a blue light special on aisle 5 in the garden department!

Do you remember being in Kmart and hearing those announcements? I can remember rushing over to see what the big deal of the hour might be. It was loads of fun. They occurred at surprise moments when a store worker would light up a mobile police light and offer a discount in a specific department of the store.

It has been many years since Kmart Bluelight Specials but Kmart is still my favorite place for finding great values on quality products.

This Saturday, July 25th, Kmart is offering special deals on the most sought after items. This special day will be the perfect day to stock up on those school supplies your kids will need in just a few short weeks. Yes, school is starting and you will have your quiet time once again. Check out the book department at Kmart and stock up on some Grisham and Steele.

There will be over 40 great Bluelight Specials through the day in-store AND other great offers will also be at kmart.com ONLY this Saturday. Don’t miss it!

You can find out more by following Kmart on twitter. Follow @kmartdealsnews to get in on all the exciting deals.

One of the good things that has come out of our difficult economic situation is that people are more careful of how they spend their money. I find myself watching every news show that has a segment on using coupons and other ways to stretch a dollar. Spring is around the corner and I usually look forward to buying new clothes. This year it will be a bit difficult to purchase new things and I will definitely be cutting back on the amount of items I buy. That is why I am thankful for Sears. I always find items that match my taste at Sears.

Right now, Sears is having a spectacular sale on fall and winter merchandise. They are making room for all the beautiful spring things. Beginning March 20 until March 22nd, Sears is offering an additional 15% off shopping pass on regular, sale and clearance priced apparel, shoes and accessories. That means I can save on my spring wardrobe from the Sears apparel department. I can also plan ahead for next fall and winter! I think it is a good time to replace my winter coat. I was trying to decide how many years I have had it. It is beginning to show its age. Sears is offering 75-80% OFF ORIGINAL PRICES ON FALL & WINTER APPAREL from now till April 18th!

I am thrilled to have discovered that Sears handles my favorite brand of jeans! Now I can get another pair and give my other pair a rest! LOL Do you have a favorite pair of jeans that you wear every day of the week?

Be sure to print out the coupon from Sears and use it at any Sears store, (including Sears.com), during March 20 through the 22nd for big savings. You will find the coupon at http://urlbrief.com/58bff5.
