Hi Jenn,
Happy Anniversary! I follow your blog for great ideas through google reader. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

My latest thrifty find is basically free in that I use my childrens' clothing tags as embellishments. There are many cool tags out there with great sayings on them.

anyway thanks for this chance at winning some awesome candy:)

Annie said...

My thrifty finds are my daughters cast off jewellry - she buys loads of earrings and often seems to loose one which means I get the odd one. Some have made fabulous embossing stencils and some are just lovely charms. Just great stuff.

My thrifty buy is today at Argos where I got 8 glue sticks for £1.00 - what a bargain - as I use them on top of foam pads when doing pyromage to allow me a bit of movement in case I don't get it down right. Best wishes, Kym xxx

My latest thrifty find is to save the thick plastic packaging from things you buy. I cut into flat sheets and then run it through my sizzix with a cute die. I use them for embellishment on cards or as ghosts.

Hi Jenn!

My latest thrifty find was to go through my FMIL's stash and move quite a bit of it into my own stash :D As my bf put it: "Thanks for the trash..." Well, there were cool ribbons I can use in cards, wood buttons, plastic buttons, embroidery thread, old magazines... He just doesn't get it ;P

I'd love to be in the draw for your candy, so I added it in my candybar ^_^
