I love journals and making journals and decorating them.

I have a collection of beautiful papers, to decorate my journals with.

I enjoy going through Thriftyfun and sharing on social media.

I met a dear friend from this site. We found we lived, very close, within a block from one another.

I spend my days taking care of my older daughter, taking walks in the park,with my chihuahuas, and doing my college studies.

I am working towards my Masters in Psychology, through Ashford University.

I extend my best wishes to everyone, and wish you all the best that life has to offer.

Blessings,

Robyn

A piece of embroidery thread being inserted into a knot.

Using Thread to Untie KnotsI will often have knots brought to me to untie that are practically impossible to undo. I thread a needle with embroidery floss and get the string of embroidery floss between the knotted yarns. I will keep reinserting the needle and yarn wherever the knot is the most stuck. After a bit of pulling, everything is able to be untied.

 

A bear inside an oven mitt with a red and snowflake pattern.

Use Seasonal Oven Mitts for Christmas StockingsThere were such cute seasonally decorated oven mitts at the Dollar General. I decided to use one as a holder of a little gift or two. I added a candy cane filled with Starburst flavored jellybeans. It will be for an adult and I will put a little gift card to a local restaurant inside, wrapped in a little box.

Square Pencil Erasers for Picking Up Pet FurI was going through my daughter's room and under her bed, when I picked up an eraser to kind of sweep a few bits of debris off the floor. It picked up fur like a dream! I used it on her carpet, as I was sitting on the floor going under her bed and sorting clothes, etc.
