Sometimes it pays to be stingy

and other times you should pay for quality and craftsmanship. Today I paid for that and I don’t feel ill or panicky like I normally do when I pay full price for a shirt or god forbid buy a friggin throw pillow. I happily plunked down some cash-o-lah so that this could come live in my nursery and make my babies smile

This wondrous and beautiful mobile came from here and I CAN NOT WAIT until it arrives!! I may even need to get one or two to hang over MY bed.

Today I also picked up some supplies to make artwork for the walls and poo’d my pants after finding out a local newspaper wants to do a story about me and the Clean Start Challenge which means they will be in my house and my house.. well you SAW the laundry pile!! *gulp*.

    Hello! I was catching up on your videos and voting over and over and over at Lifetime, and saw the quilt that you are using as inspiration. My local craft shop is moving house, and therefore everything is on sale…and I think they have some of that fabric still. Do you need any? I’d be happy to pick it up (oh, gosh, to HAVE to go to the craft store!) and send it down to you. Let me know!
