I’ve completed it all but the sewing of my bag.
Let me tell you what i always feel good when i get lots of stuff done and can get a load of stuff for the 20$ i have. I went to walmart with, i got a towel and matching washcloth, a yrd of plastic, 2 1/2 yards of strapping, 1 yrd of brown linen, hangers, and a ball of fuzzy clearance yarn (all of them for a few projects) THEN i went to michaels and a bottle of decopague (sp?) glue and went to target for tissue paper and here i am with $.45 to spare :D

just proves that it pays to be a thrifty shopper.
