  5. Here is me "shouting out" to you! Haha! Love the gift ideas. I have a few thrifty gifts up my sleave too…but I can't share them because some of them will be going to people who read my blog! Thanks for sharing and helping out us "thrifty" givers!

  6. A cheap gift I am doing this year is perpetual calendars. I found a free printable online and printed them up. I found a local print shop who spiral bound 25 for 20$.

    Also- have you ever put photos on teh marble magnets? I wanted to but all my marbles have a "dimple" and I thought that would look odd with the photo- like a blemish.

  7. I've been reading your posts for a couple months now. I found your blog when I was searching for a DIY calendar. I've yet to complete that project but I love it! It's a great idea.

    I see you're a counselor, now SAHM. Me too! I worked as a Clinical Counselor before having children. Now I'm a SAHM, but I'll probably go back to work next year when my oldest starts preschool. Please stop and visit! ~Lisa
