Money Savers

Don’t you love how the holidays seem to suck up all of your extra money?  Besides me and Christopher not doing full-on costumes this year, we also saved a couple other ways. 

I reused Mia’s Easter shoes by painting the roses yellow and then putting gold glitter glue over that to give them a nice sparkle.  They match her dress perfectly and I didn’t have to spend a thing.  We’ll just look over the fact that she’s now a size 8 and they’re a size 7…hey, you’ve got to work with what you’ve got!

And Mimi came by last week and got Mia a happy meal from McDonald’s.  Instead of the usual toy they put in it, they were giving kids their food in a trick-or-treat bucket with pictures of blank Mr. Potato-Heads on them.  And the best part is they also gave stickers of all the parts so that the kids can decorate their own Potato-Heads just how they’d like to – how cute :)
