Up to Date

One of the things on my wish list is a desk calendar from Linnea Design. It really is beautiful, but I've been holding out for something just as nice, but a little bit cheeper. Well, today I found a lovely little calendar over at Something's Hiding in Here, and it's FREE (with some assembly required).

According to the blurb, the print was designed with a vintage proofing press using wood and lead type (whatever that means). I guess that's what gives it the aged look -- like it's just come off a mimeograph machine.

Anyway, I think I'll put it on my bulliten board at school -- just like Laura Normandin.

Total Cost: $0 ... and today is January 12th in case you were wondering.

Let Me Put It On My List

I love lists. All sorts of lists. Do lists. Shopping lists. Song lists. Wish lists. They’re all great. They help me to organize my life and keep things tidy. So, in that spirit, I have devised a list for this blog. From here on out, I will try to organize my thought on frugality to fit into one or more of the following categories.

* To eat/drink
* To make
* To do
* To see
* To wear
* To buy
* To live-in (housekeeping stuff)
* To read
* To give
* To celebrate
* To appreciate
* To be

Have I left anything out? Please, please let me know if there’s some other category that you think I should include.
