I CAN BE FRUGAL! ...and a small giveaway.

Some people in my family say I'm c.h.e.a.p. I like to say I am frugal and that's why I wanted to join the Frugal Friday Party at The Shabby Nest. Also while I'm at it I want to link up with Southern Hospitality's thrifty finds! Make sure and check out these ladies blogs!
A while back I bought some fabric off of Etsy, it was a big box with all kinds of good size green fabrics. I love it! I made 2 skirts from the fabric so far. I got the big box of fabric for $6!



Pay no attention to the messy bathroom. I wore this one Sunday.


I made these little flowers and appliqued them on, I thought it was pretty good for the first time. I love how it turned out.

I love this one too but haven't had a chance to wear it yet. I have a light blue shirt that matches the little blue flowers perfectly!



Today I stopped at a couple yard sales and at the first one I spent $3 and got 4 things!

This was a book of fabric remnants, pinks,roses and reds. I'm not sure what all I will do with them but I bet I find something! Got it for .50. Couldn't help but make a flower already.
Would you like to win it? Leave a comment letting me know you would like to win it and I'll draw next Friday the 31st. Want another chance? facebook or/and twitter about it and you will have additional chances! Make sure and leave a comment for each post.
I'll put whatever kind of back you want on it.



Here's another book of remnants I got. This one was much bigger pieces of fabric and I only paid .75!

I also got this pretty little cross. He's living on the table for the moment until I decide where I want him. It was only .25.

YES I will wear someone elses shoes,after I disinfect them! Look at how cute they are,from gap and dark blue! LOVE THEM! Paid a whopping $1.50 for these but so worth it!

At the 2nd sale I got a book for a quarter and a bench!!! I have been looking for a bench that my cheap...ummmm I mean frugal self would buy. I don't have a pic yet cause my hubby is picking it up for me but it has iron sides and chippy paint and I only paid $5 for it!! FIVE DOLLARS people!!! YES!
