I did it!

I'll send a photo tomorrow, when they're all dry. I made next year's gifts for my friends. After I submitted the jigsaw puzzle ornaments instructions, I got inspired to make some more. I bought a puzzle for .50 at the thrift store and had all the fun of putting it together. It had 550 pieces. Then I sprayed them (gold this time!) and glued thie pieces into little wreaths to hang on the Christmas tree. I had enough ribbon left over to make bows for all 24 of them! I spent under $10.00 (just the puzzle, spray paint and glitter glue) and have gifts for 24 friends! I think that's about .40 each, and they're really pretty. And I'm READY!!! No more being late!!
My next hope is to have a really great yard sale this spring to help finance the publication of my book, "Hart Hollow Journal -- Living of $500 a month using every trick in the book." There are quite a few freebie coupons coming out tomorrow, and I will sell most of the freebies at the yard sale. Every little bit helps, and I can do it within my budget!
It's very cold here. Although it's above freezing, the west wind is howling, and even in my little office, my nose is as cold as ice!
