Frugal Fridays

Good Friday morning! Let me tell youu, this may have only been a three day work week, but having a 4 day Weekend spoiled this chick! Fridays are one Of my favorite days of the week not only because of the beginning of the weekend, but it is also my grocery shopping day with my momma! You see, I am a couponer! Now before you start thinking it, no I am not "extreme", but I have always enjoyed clipping coupons to save a little here and there on itmes my family needs anyways! On Fridays, after work, I pick mom up and ER stop by to get Abby, then off we go... Normally it takes me 3 stores to get the best savings, but they are all close together, so it is not a matter of wasting more gas than I am saving at the store. How much do I save? Normally I will save enough to treat us to a dinner at applebees or such without noticing the money gone! I like eating good for free, how abou you?
Enough of that already, here is my Little creation to show you today:
This little number is made with stampendous stamps (hey there cupcake), Papertrey Ink card stock and inks, buttons of course, and a little lace to top it off! I followed the sweet sketch Wednesday sketch challenge for this week and the colors are from the fun and fabulous color dare challenge blog. perhaps the most exciting aspect is that one of my favorite challenge blogs, Fab 'n Funky is have a DT call along with their challenge this week! Eek! Love them, if you've never checked them ouut, you simply must!
Be sure to stop back by tomorrow, I have an awesome, yet easy craft project to share with you for Simply Saturday!

Much love & God Bless You,
