Frugal Living
I was inspired after watching one of the most disgusting frugal living shows "Extreme Cheapskates" to make a whole separate section on the blog for frugality alone. Now to be frugal you have to be a bit creative/crafty. And I know there so much more things in my life I could change to help save money, or not waste it, as we all like to save money here and there. I just find this generally helpful especially when you're young and trying to survive in this economy. I hope everyone will enjoy the future frugal tips coming soon.

As posted regarding my posting schedule and current events...
Now my dear fellow bloggers, crafters, followers, etc. -
I've started college over a year ago, I've taken on more kids to take care of, and in other words I'm broke and very busy....lol However, I will try to do some random posts here and there, like some awesome pins from pinterest, or any creations I come up with here and there, unfortunately I haven't done any here since my last post, but with Christmas and other holidays around the corner I'm sure you'll see a few. So wish me luck with my college adventure and I hope you all will still enjoy what I'll have to offer.

ATTN:
Okay my fellow bloggers, crafters, followers, etc.
My posting schedule is not working out (obviously). I am having a hard-time keeping up on this blog. So excuse the delay in my posts (which I will be making up for), but right now I need a break and time to strategize my next move, that being organizing and keeping a more disciplined schedule to the blog and my followers. As some many know I'm attending school full-time, I'm a full-time mommy, and I literally do everything! So needless to say I'm a busy-bee and on top of it, I'm exhausted... I need to get through this weeks homework, housework, and work on some renovations that we have coming in my home. I'm not superwoman, not like I used to be so I'm taking a small (probably a month) break from the blog. We'll continue where we left off and I promise there will be more crafts to post too, because I've got stuff to make for people as well. As May was to be our month to duct-tape, when I come back I'm hoping to hit ya with a double dose of duct-tape and whatever I have planned for June. And thank you to my followers and their loyalty, I'll be back soon! ; )

Pin of the Week April 21 - 28
So has everyone been getting their gardening on? I know I have (hint-hint- sorry for another late pin of the week... we'll be taking pictures and expanding more on gardening this summer!)
So you might have noticed I shared the burlap flowers because of this weeks post.
-to get the full tutorial.
But since we're looking at hand-bags, we're doing a double-dose, because a gal can NEVER have too many of them, especially super cute ones!
She has a blog, but these she doesn't share her tutorial and sells them at her shop, she has other amazing tutorials at her blog @ http://sylvieliv.blogspot.com/ but I have one more pin of the week next week that may give you more insight on how to make this! ;)
Tasty Recipes April 24th 2013
Sorry I thought, this was the 3rd Tuesday this month and it's the 4th....because there's 5, but hey the good thing is I'm starting to keep up with my posts... Any who, this is "flavorful sprite"- Freeze different fruit juice in ice trays and put in glass. Pour sprite over ice cubes. Great flavor! I hope you all enjoy! Especially with summer just around the corner...

Scrabble Letters
Crafty Creations for April 11th, 2013
-Okay April 13th was "Scrabble Day". Unfortunately I wasn't able to post this when I had scheduled to, otherwise this would have made some of the listed "Month Events" fun. But just having this in my home makes me smile so I still HAVE to share it!
o
I was inspired by this from a Pin I saw on Pinterest, which came from this blog (where there's a tutorial of how they done theirs): http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/03/scrabble-living-large-family-names-art-project/
I on the other hand had done mine a bit more cheap and different. FIRST- make out the scrabble pattern that will fit everyone's names you want added in this project! I through in the word "Family" to give it more volume. You can throw in a word if everyone's names do NOT fit together, such as: Family, Home, Love, or Live-Laugh-Love, or even the family pet(s) name; just some suggestions. Two, I went to my local JoAnn's store and got some thin, wood shapes (obviously all square ones and cost like .90 cents ea. but they were on sale so I got them for .60 odd cents). I had some vinyl, adhesive letters already cut-out left over from a past project of my moms or mine and just stuck them on the squares. Then I couldn't remember all the points the letters were, so I googled that and took a fine sharpie and carefully wrote the points on in a way that was similar to real scrabble pieces. *Note: sharpie bleeds, so I'd suggest maybe trying a gel pen, or if you do use a sharpie just be careful when you press to write, it doesn't bleed bad, but I don't want to lead my viewers on to something that are not happy with. Last, instead of using nails, or adhesive foam hanging tape, I used white sticky-tack. Yes, it can be a bit more difficult to find, even at Wal-Mart, there was none! I believe I found it at JoAnn's as well, with the 3M adhesive hooks. This way it makes for easy removal if need to be moved and whatnot, no paint peeling, etc. I would say all the materials, if I had bought them all at once would have ran me about $20 (max., give or take). So if you decide to make your own as well, and you live on a budget such as myself, I hope that will be helpful. I absolutely adore this project, because I am a huge Scrabble Buff, which made it very much fun! I hope you enjoy it too!
