Feelin' Thrifty & Crafty

I've been slipping on my blog posts, which is why I am posting now! I've been looking for some inspiration and I've found it! I am feeling like an especially thrifty spender today and I know my fellow Twenty-Somethings appreciate good deals too.

I substituted today for my mother (my favorite substitute teaching job!) because she was going to a breast-cancer survivors luncheon called Horses & Hope. So, we still rode in to L-Burg together and she met up with some other woman who were attending, while I stayed in school and subbed for her. After school she took me to a craft yard-sale she had heard about. It was an older woman who had interests in many different crafts, but who was trying to downsize her collection of items. It was awesome! She had very reasonable (cheap) prices on the craft supplies and Mom and I loaded up for a total of $8 between the two of us! I bought several scraps of fabric for making hair bows (and perhaps other things), three bags of buttons, some miniature clothes pins and some little wooden stars. Now I will be searching Pinterest for button and other crafts because this shopping adventure has put me in a very crafty mood.

 I also got a $5 trim on my hair today. There is a place in L-Burg with a permanent $5 hair-cut salon which I think it pretty cool, but I don't always go there for my haircuts. She cut off more than I expected, but the ends feels so much better! I was pleased to get this done and get a good deal, to boot!

Looks short, huh? Sorry for the over-exposed selfie 

Well I've gotta run!
