Free Perfume

Sorry it has been a while.  I got caught up in the Christmas frenzy and loved it.

Lots of ads and deals in the Sunday paper this time of year.  Here is a picture of some of the free perfume samples I received.  I don't wear perfume all the time, but I will have enough to last me 6 mo to a year
