My friend sent me a text that yarn, felt and three hours later she had a wreath for her front door (above). I like it and thought this would be a great project for our Crafternoon on Sunday, November 20 at 4pm at Coffee Emporium. If you’re in the area and would like to join [...]

DIY Coupon Binder

in projects, tips

Ever since I started reading Savings Lifestyle, I’ve wanted to be a successful couponer. I took Andrea’s Focused Couponing class last month thinking this was going to be the fire I needed to be a consistent saver. I’ve done alright, but I lack organization some weeks. I file all the inserts in a portable file [...]
