Lean Mean January

Happy New Year! Every January is a big deal to me... I have a tradition of not spending any money for the entire month (except for gas and groceries of course) I am an artist and crafter and furniture re-doer so this is pretty hard! It forces me to look at my supplies differently and use what I have to make things to sell at my space in Blessings.  I am part of a Coop in Pacific Grove California... and I have the Daunting task of being in the font window!!!  Today I go in to change the window to a valentines theme.

    I love it!!! And thank you for sharing the idea of no spending in January. As a teacher, I spend sooo much on my classroom I can only imagine if I was an artist. I am going to give it a go...

    OMG--I love that chair! Would you mind taking a little road trip to Washington State to paint the rocker in my reading area?
