Today I wanted to share with you how to use my Christmas Family Traditions Poster Maker to make an amazing frugal and free Fathers Day Gift.If the Dad in your life is anything like Mr Frugal, he'll pretty much buy himself the things he needs as and when he needs them and don't really want 'stuff' for the sake of giving a gift on Fathers Day.In the past, we've always felt like we needed to buy him something so we've ended up buying something just for the sake of it and although, he's always grateful for whatever we give him I know he would have quite happily not had a gift.So … [Read more...]
How (not to) organise a photo wall or photo shelf….
We've had an amazing year for travel this year as a family and I really wanted to print out some of our photos to showcase some of our adventures. Jen suggested a photo shelf on the back wall of my kitchen would be nice so off I popped to IKEA to pick up a couple of them and some photo frames to use on the shelf.I love, love, love how it looks now but I'll be honest, it did take me a week and a couple of attempts to get it right! I thought you might like to see the step by step process in case you want to make your own photo shelf or wall....(Top tip - before following these … [Read more...]
No Trick or Treating sign {Free Printable for Halloween}….
I'm re-sharing last year's No Trick or Treating sign today because it was so popular last year. ;-) I've even added an extra version for you....Personally, I love Halloween and look forward to the knocks on the door on Halloween night from the little ones all dressed up in their Halloween costumes and these days, Master Frugal (who tells me he is way too old to go trick or treating) likes to get dressed up and be our designated door answerer. Miss Frugal prefers the role of dog cuddler as poor Buddy doesn't know what to do with himself with so many children coming to the door.We … [Read more...]
Free Poster Maker: Reasons to be thankful….
Remember my cool little Christmas poster maker last year? It's back and this year it's even better! It's even better because it's completely FREE!I first thought of the idea for this last year when I was off work ill and I hired a web designer to make my idea into an actual thing and I'll be honest, it wasn't cheap. I really wanted it though so I decided to go with it and to pass on a small charge to whoever bought it in an attempt to cover my costs. As soon as I got to that point, I didn't feel comfortable charging for it as I wouldn't be a great frugal blog if I tried to part you … [Read more...]
How Snowballing your debts will help you pay them off quicker AND save you money….
Have you heard the term 'snowballing' in relation to paying off any credit cards or store cards that you might have? Today, I'm going to tell you how snowballing your debts will help you to not only pay them off quicker but also save you money along the way!I'm sure you've guessed by now that snowballing your debts has nothing to do with the fun you can have outside when it snows or even the lovely snowball cocktails that my lovely old Nana used to make - although I'm not going to lie, it would be lovely if either of these things would help pay off your debts in any way at all, … [Read more...]
Beautiful Motivational Quote Wall Art {Free Printable}….
I've been busy this morning making pretty things (AKA some lovely Motivational Quote Wall Art) and as a thank you to all you lovely readers, I thought I'd share what I've been up to with you so you can have some pretty too.I got so many messages about how much you all liked the 'Throw Kindness Like confetti' quote wall art that I made for Miss Frugal's wall that I thought I'd make some motivational quote wall art for you too. I'll be honest though, I struggled to narrow the quotes down just four quotes as I do love a good motivational quote - I even have a private pinterest board … [Read more...]
