VBS Crafts 2008 Countdown
Day Two – Check
We decorated tshirts today; I use the word decorated loosely. We used Sharpies and rubbing alcohol to do a faux tie dye effect. The kids LOVED it. It went so smoothly. I am SOOO grateful. The alcohol fumes were unbelievable and I am hoping all my help (and all the kiddos) are able to return tomorrow. You can go here to see how the project is done – really it’s a great little craft for your children (almost any age). Here’s the stock photo they provided:
Wish I had taken my camera out of my bag and snapped a couple shots. Maybe I will remember tomorrow when we are decorating Photo Albums. My scrapbooker’s heart is so full at the thought!!!

Fathers’ Day Frugality
Thanks to someone at a blog I can’t remember, I got a GREAT idea for a father’s day gift for my Honey. My honey really enjoys washing the car – in a crazy way that makes no sense to my female mind. The tip was that over Memorial Day weekend, ACE Hardware had this huge sale and all these rebates and as I perused the list I came up with the following: 1-64 oz. Concentrated Car Washing liquid stuff (because you can’t wash the hoopty Lumina with dish soap), 1 no hands tire cleaning stuff, 6 Microfiber Auto Cloths, and a 50 foot no-kinks water hose. Yes, folks, a car washing dream (and probably the equivalent of a blender for mother’s day).
“Oh frugal rockstar, how much did you pay?” you are asking. I answer, humbly yet with a monster grin, “$5!!!!”
Go Me!
Go Me!
It’s Your Birthday!
It’s Your Birthday!
I included this tidbit for my Honey as part of his gift so this post will be no surprise for him 🙂
Now, I have Bunco this weekend and $5 to spend on a “Summer Fun” themed “prize”. How much do I think I can get. . .
