Now, we’re planning another move, this time 2,000 miles away. While we’re decluttering, we’re learning a lot about where the clutter comes from. We’re fairly frugal and try to limit our expenditures. My 5 year old loves art, and she is always creating drawings, cards, and pictures.

I love going to garage sales. Lately though, I’ve begun to re-consider. The free item needs too much re-furbishing. Last summer, a lady on the street next to ours had a wonderful sale. Maybe, maybe not. Once in a while, the homeowner is so anxious to get rid of something that they offer it for free.

I took at least three trunks full of “stuff” to Goodwill, I had a garage sale, and I sold things online. However, I wasn’t able to complete the job before moving day arrived, so some of our “stuff” we didn’t need came with us. Know that not all children’s art work can be kept.

Have you ever shopped at neighborhood garage sales? You will find the most amazing collections of nearly new home decorating materials at them – beautiful lined panel drapes; lovely dining room furniture and display cases; wall art, wing back chairs, clocks and more – all for a pittance.

I got 160,000,000 results today using Google Chrome. Sewing is an art. Today it is much less expensive to buy your clothes, even if you buy brand new and certainly if you shop some of the chic re-sale shops or even the thrift stores. There are many crafters, clothing designers and beginning savers who sew.

If you’re planning a Star Wars party for your child, hopefully this post will give you some money-saving ideas! I purchased a few packages of silver and lime green balloons for less than $1 each and some ribbon for $2 that we used to decorate with as well as for playing some of the games. We used a black tablecloth ($0.90

We’re meeting an Arkansas reader today and initially, I thought she was the first one! Tell us a little about yourself Greetings from the NW corner of Arkansas, where I was born (around 40+ years ago) and raised. We use the eggs, harvest meat & if I can’t get out to hunt venison we’ve had friends give us meat.
