$20 Challenge

These days $20 doesn't seem to go very far. But if you look carefully and choose the right store its amazing what you can find for you and your family. That's where K-Mart comes in. They are challenging bloggers to go through their latest catologue and find items for $20 for the family. Well I am going to take them up on this challenge. I am a bargain shopper (you have to be with 5 kids) and love K-Mart for this reason.
I started thinking well Christmas is coming up and our budget will be tight this year as we have moved and are now paying more rent, so I thought if I had just $20 on something fun such as toys and lollies and an outfit or a piece of clothing for each of the kids in the family what would I buy.

Count Your Blessings 
Unknown Author


I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Haven't got a lot of riches,
and sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loving ones all around me,
and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings,
and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe,
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their loads.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

When I think of how many people
in this world have it worse than I do.
I realize just how blessed most of us really are.

I felt so priveldged that someone thinks what I have been doing is ok. I love blogging. It has really given me an outlet to not only show off things I love, but I get to meet wonderful people all around the world.

I also want to share what my wonderful sister Carlie has been doing for me   

 
I am also really excited to have finally got my Etsy Shop up and running. James kept asking me when I was going to start putting it on there. I suppose I was procrastinating due to the fact that you have to work out what you need to write about each garment. You don't really think about all the work that goes into actually putting those items onto Etsy. If you get a chance stop by and check out my Etsy Store and let me know if I need to improve anything.

Fabric Origami Tutorial

I took the kids to the library the other day and whilst I was there I was looking through the craft section and found this great book about Fabric Origami.

 This an amazing book. I love the different things you can create out of fabric. So here is how you can do just one of them.
