Cheap is good, free is better!

We focus on having fun with as little money as possible, and getting the most out of what we've got.

Frugal is good for your wallet and for the environment. Cheap is chic. Saving on one lets you splurge on another. Most importantly we grateful for the abundance in our lives -- and we are friends!

Frugal (adj)
1. economical in use; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful
2. entailing little expense; requiring few resources; meager; thrifty

Buying bows is for suckers! You can make bigger and better toppers straight from the recycling bin. Hand-made decorations are way more charming, and it's a fabulous festivity to gather up some friends to eat, drink, and create.
