Frugal Friday

Well it's Frugal Friday again! Yippee!
I saved at CVS!!! I paid $1.98 cash, used $4 off of $20 store coupon and $16 in ECB's. I got $22 in merchandise and $16 in ECB's in return! My Husband stood by amazed and bewildered (and I can't remember when the last time was that I saw him that way!).

I ran out of eggs this week and started a recipe for alphabet cookies with my little ones when I realized my dilemma. I remembered someone else's post last week for making hair gel with flax seed. Well I figured that would be a great egg substitute!
I used: 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
2 to 3 tablespoons warm water
Mix well, add as you would an egg! They turned out great! One of my older girls and I tried it in the cupcakes we made for Bright Lights! They are great too! I just want them out of our home quickly!

Praise the Lord. He never ceases to come to aid. Even in the smallest of needs!

Funny you mentioned the egg substitute! I was on a website just yesterday that had several listed (for making your own teething biscuits for babies under the age of one with recipes that call for eggs). ANYWAY, here's the link in case you ever run out again!

I'm glad that they turned out well!

Oops - sorry. Not sure if that went through. I broke the url down into three lines instead, just delete the spaces and you're there!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...
