This Christmas JC Penneys is making me incredibly happy! First I got some great gifts at amazingly low prices! Now, I am raking in the savings like crazy!
JCP is giving away buttons at every store. They are free and the stores I have been to have a ton! All you need to do is ask for one. The employees have been so nice and a few have let me pick out the ones I want! My favorites are one that says "Santa I can explain" and a turkey leg. They have all kinds of cute ones with santa, reindeer, elves, candy, even a fruitcake. Each button has a code on the back and you can win great prizes.
So far I have won $5 and $10 off coupons. That means the t-shirt I bought as a gift that was regularly $10 was $8 on sale and after the $5 coupon only cost me $3! Yup, $3 for a fun Grinch t-shirt! I also bought myself a great sweater for $7! It was originally $32 and on sale for $17. So of course I used my $10 coupon! I saved $26 for a cashmere blend cardigan. Now I just need to win another $10 coupon so I can buy the orange skinny jeans they have on sale for $20 (original price of $30).
The sweater and jeans are both from the JCP line. Their line has a range of clothes and colors. So far I have a t-shirt, long sleeve tee, and the sweater. They also have a cute navy oxford with big green dots. I really want one of the cowl neck sweaters that they have. They have blues, greens, pinks, and oranges that are mix and match. Prices range from $9 to $34. Those are regular prices but you can go in and find all kinds of sales and score some great clothes!
Finally, one of my favorite things about JCP is that Ellen DeGeneres is their spokesperson. The commercial with the elves is too funny! I hope to see more of her in the future!
Happy shopping and saving!

My Black Friday plans!
Black Friday is upon us and it is easy to go crazy with shopping fever! The main store I will be hitting this Friday is: JC Penney! I went into a store in the spring and was blown away by their great selections and amazing prices! I have signed up for their texts and emails and received the Black Friday ad this morning! Stores open at 6am Friday morning so I can sleep later than most and still make it to work on time!
Some things I am looking at:
$25 women's boots! I would love to get a pair of black knee-high flats for me and a cute pair of sparkly uggs for my niece!
$15 JCP sweaters for women! Sis in law gets a cute blue shaker sweater!
$10 Worthington sweates! For work for me? Yes please!
$20 liz claiborne robe! Mom is taken care of!
$10 Arizona guys' jeans! My kid can stop wearing the jeans that don't fit! Yay!
$8 Belgian Waffle Maker? For someone that is gluten free- now I can make my own waffles? Yes!
The list goes on but you get the idea! I am very excited about Black Friday at JCP! Extra perks? Why yes, they have those too!

No savings today...but a few good stories!
With Halloween a few days away I thought I would share my real life ghost stories! All of these happened when I worked at a living history museum. Most were not scary, but a few were. Today I'll tell you about the not scary!
One of the houses was built in the early 1800's and has at least 3 spirits. I say at least because I had heard the stories of the main woman, her son, and a gentleman but apparently others had seen a little girl. I only had contact with the son and gentleman.
My relationship with the house and the inhabitants began when I worked at the museum and started givin tours. I had to learn about the family that built and lived in the house and it's place in history. The family and house always facinated me and I loved being in the house and talking about it. I became very comfortable in the house and talked with fondness of the family. When I started I did not know the house was haunted. I think because I always talked so warmly about the family I was welcomed by the spirits and they did not do anything to scare me.
The first time I had anything happen in the house was after some conflict when I was not feeling my best. I was giving a tour of the house and we made our way to the dining room. The dining room was always emaculately set for a family of wealth. However, on this day the room was in disaray. One of the candelabras that was usually on the mantle was upside-down in a punch bowl and the other was on the floor and the table was very messy. I tried to play it off and say that maintanance didn't have a chance to finish cleaning but a little girl said she thought it was the ghosts! I talked about it with my mother after work and she said she thought it was the ghosts, too. She thought they were showing their support of me by being upset themselves. The next day as I walked by the house I thanked them.
The next big thing that happened was after the conflict was resolved and I was promoted to a full time job. I had to walk by the house to get to my new office and for the first week the door was open every day! I called security and of course was told the last time they checked the house the door was shut and locked. I felt like the spirits were telling me good morning every day!
The favorite thing I had happen involved the gentleman! A co-worker, her friend and I all went into the house after work one day. The friend stayed downstairs. Nothing happened while my co-worker and I were upstairs but on our way down the stairs they both saw a mist pass them and in front of my eyes. They asked if I saw it but I didn't because I had a bright light hit my eyes and I had to stop for a second and close my eyes. I took a step down and the brightness was out of my eyes. When I made it down the stairs both asked me why I stopped. I said the light from the lamp blinded me for a second. I realized the light was off so said it must have been a reflection from the setting sun. They both pointed out the sun was not setting on the house. Then my co-worker and her friend told me about the mist! We were all in awe!
Tomorrow...the scary!
