It's been a while since I shared an idea for something to make with our FREE personalised poster maker so today, as I'm sat here contemplating the fact that it's actually October, I thought I'd share an idea for an Autumn Family Favourites poster.For those of you who don't know, the poster maker tool is right here! You can choose just about any subject for your personalised poster but I initially made the tool with a Family Christmas Traditions poster in mind. We bought a family traditions poster many years ago and I just thought that if I could recreate it in some way on this website … [Read more...]
Amazing Frugal and Free Fathers Day Gift…. {Free Printable}
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...]
