Frugal Friday: Frugal Moving Tips

Moving costs got you down? Well, A & I have found some great ways to save you some rent money!

First: boxes. Don't pay for them! Cruise behind your local liquor store and scoop up as many as you can, but watch out for those pesky transient leavings!

Movers: Why pay for movers when you have parents who for some strange reason actually like helping you do people's most loathed activity. Repeatedly...and a lot.

Storage: Have too much junk and realize that you can't in

good conscience give the Goodwill anymore single shoes or broken coat racks? Those parents have a garage don't they?!

Lastly: Free advice. Have a good sense of humor, because if you

don't...you may lose it in front of those nice parents and start screaming about Rush Limbaugh or something weird.

Sorry for no Frugal Friday!

We've been doing this:

Non stop since Thursday so didn't get our Frugal Friday in gear. Our new place is adorable though and you can see pics of our old place (much less adorable) on our flickr link, to the right on our blog page, if you're so inclined!

Have so many projects and news to share as soon as we're less crazed from the move!

The B is Back!

B (me) is back from France, as of late last night, after two inspiring, get-to-know-yourself kinds of months, and is ready to get cracking! I brought home two small suitcases (that would shock and horrify you if you actually picked them up) and everything made it safely home...except for a really cute vintage lion statue...but A's going to fix that!

Today I have lots of little errands to do and craft supplies to pick up. I need a little sleep and then I 'm ready to start creating on U.S. soil again!
