Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D TV Show this Fall

I would have not guesses in a million year that they were going to make a T.V. show about S.H.I.E.L.D but I was super excited to see a familiar face. Yes, you might have guess it already Agent Coulsen! I was so sad and was hoping to see Agent Coulsen in the new Avenger 2 Movie but we get to see him sooner than we expected. S.H.I.E.L.D will premier this fall on Tuesday nights. 
As you can imagine this time around its not all about the heroes but the regular little people who back them up. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After seeing that trailer are you really going to tell me you are not as excited as me?! We can also hope maybe to see big names coming as guest star on the show. I am so crossing my finger, only time will tell what S.H.I.E.L.D has in stored.

Budget Envelope Saving System

Budget has begun to be a big part of our lives mostly because of the new addiction to our family arriving this November also due to living in one of the most expensive cities. I went online in search for a budget system that would work for our family. Guess what I found?
 
Jordan from The Fun, Cheap or Fun Queen  has a great envelope saving system that might just work for your family. She even made a video with a simple instruction on how to get started.
 
                              

I started this budget system at the beginning of May and I won't lie to you I am already doing bad. I do have to say it takes a lot of self control and commitment to do this kind of budgeting. However, this week so far I am doing better than last week. I am hopping by next month I have it down.

Are you going to try it or do you have a system that works better for you?

In honor of the new release of Iron Man 3 I went in search for the best must have for any geek out there. As you can imagine I am super excited about the new release of Iron Man 3 this weekend, usually by the third movie of the franchise they have killed the story line however, with Iron Man 3 it looks better than the first one. I mean come on who does not like fights, explosions and romance.

Book Page Folding Tutorial

I have another book page folding tutorial for you today. As always it a very simple book page fold that anyone can do it. I am doing so many book folding that I am actually don't have space to display them but I can't stop! It can be very addictive.  If you don't have any books that you want to try to book page fold then going to flea market or a thift store to get your hands on some old book is the place to go.
 The book fold took me about three days to complete and the book has over 300 pages. Just remember the more pages the book has the more time its going to take to fold. I usually like to work with hardcover books because they look nicer when you display them but its no require for book folding but the soft cover will have a 360 page view since the spine has no support it will curl on it self.
Here we go.

The first two pages fold the top right hand corner a cross the middle of the page. Take the bottom right hand corner and fold to meet the other fold.

The following 14 pages fold sightly higher than the previous page.

 Once you have reached page 17 -20 should be folded the same height. Now you need to start from the beginning and do the next 20 pages the same way. If you mess up on any page just rip it out of the book because the fold won't look right otherwise.
