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.

Confessions of a Money Blogger….
This may come as a surprise (not) but I'm far from perfect when it comes to money saving! (Actually, this probably isn't a surprise to regular readers ;-))I had a chat with Miss Frugal this weekend about social media and one of the things I said to her was that the people she follows on Instagram who look perfect and put together most likely aren't.
