BzzAgent Review: McCain Purely Potatoes

I love being a BzzAgent! I receive invitations to try new products and one of them is McCain Purely Potatoes. After saying 'yes' to the invitation, coupons were sent to me including a coupon to try the White Potato Chunks or Sweet Potato Chunks for free! Decision... decision... decision...

I picked Potato Chunks by the way this time but I will try the Sweet Potato this weekend. A busy mom like I am, having an on-line shop on top of my 9-5 pm day job as plus raising a 3 years old boy, I need something quick and simple in preparing family dinners.

I made mashed potatoes with this. Again, it's so easy and delicious! What so impressive is that it's made from 100% real potatoes. It's packed in a microwave ready bag and just pop it in the microwave in minutes. Skip the washing, peeling, and cutting and you can have your dinner ready in less than 30 minutes. Now that is what I call time-saver (and energy! Lol). You can find these in the frozen potato and french fry section of all major grocery stores. The price is reasonable ($3.49) minus $1.00 off coupon I have, what not to love.

Happy Saturday

What's the plan for today? I'm sorry to say that I don't have a Saturday Artisan to introduce today. I am on a mission to recruit, but in the meantime, I could be the Saturday Artisan of the day. Lol. I worked on 3 new tags this week. The Transportation on the Go like below is one of my son's favorite (no doubt about that!).

And my favorites: Mushrooms!! When I saw the images, I know I had to get them. They are super cute, with a touch of vintage, they are perfect to adorn baked goodies bags or anything that involves natural herbs.

This week, I'm going to work on a few more tag designs, complete orders to mail on Monday which will go as far as Honolulu, as well as take in-laws around for more sightseeing and shopping. The weather is not in our favor (wet...wet...and wet) but this weekend will be the last weekend my dad-in-law has before returning to Indonesia so we'll take what we can have. Whatever you'll do, I wish you all have a relaxing and yet fun weekend!

Happy Birthday Banner

This past weekend, among taking the time to bring in-laws who just came from abroad for a city tour, I took whatever spare time I had to make this custom banner. I'm grateful that I have such awesome clients, including this special client who is so easy to please :-) She let me do my thing with a minimal specific requests.

I really hope she likes this banner I made for her daughter's birthday party.

I enjoyed so much making this adorable banner. It's colorful and cheerful, adorned with pretty ribbons. You can be sure that you will see more banners here.
