So Happy!!!!

I am so excited right now!
We finally broke down and got our cable internet hooked up!
Things are much faster and it is such a joy to be able to travel thru the web at lightening speed compared to dial up!!
I know that our dial up and prepaid phone service were cheaper but being on the interent as much as I am, the phone line was always tied up.  Picture download was becoming a chore when it came to my ebay selling and school work was sooooooooooo slow it was awful.  So with a little belt tightening in other areas we have finally come up in the world!!!!
I just posted this picture of my little Victoria  because it is so fast to do now!!!!!

Frugal Afghan

I've been working on a throw for my friend.  And I ran out of white yarn.  While searching for more I found all these other colors I had in the closet and it got me to thinking!  She is always razzing me about my frugalness!  Good naturedly of course!  So I decided she could have a frugal throw!  I just use what I had to work with.  No pattern, no color matching or anything.  Just what I had on hand!
I told her what I was planning and showed her the work in progress and she loved it!!!!  She said it was truely frugal and definitly ME!!!!

I'm sure it is gonna be pretty unusual but HEY!!, I like it!!!!

Frugal Wedding Favor

One of my babies got married over the last weekend.  Thats their little girl in the background.
A very simple  civil ceremony with a reception at their home.
She found these cute favor kits  at Good Will for only a couple of dollars each!
I think they are so cute.  The reception was wonderful and  everyone had a good time!
So make sure you are keeping an eye out at your thrift stores!  There are usualy some great finds there!!!

THE NEW LOOK and NEW ATTITUDE!!!!!!!

I've kind of been hem hawing around about my blog and it just never felt right!
I came across this wonderful site  http://www.thecutestblogontheblock/ !  It offered free backgrounds, buttons and all sorts of goodies!!
I decided that the time had come to start changing things!  So we now have a new look!!!  I love it! love it! love it!  I hope you enjoy it also!  Over time, more changes will be happening.  I hope this helps to keep me inspired to write!!

Now for the attitude.  I was checking out different blogs and discovered that are THOUSANDS of frugal blogs with tips and ideas out there. 
I didn't want to get rid of my blog completely so I thought a change was once again in order!
The title of my blog is Frugal Creations From the Heart, but I wasn't doing any real creating!  So there is the change!!! 

I will probably throw in a frugal hint here  and there( I can't help it) but I decided it was time to hit the CREATE part harder!

I hope you like the changes and will be back often to check and see what I have done!!!!!
