You can usually find fabric remnants, or old linens with cool patterns that you could use for fabric.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153149217472000710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-87523182443712428432010-06-03T12:59:40.692-06:002010-06-03T12:59:40.692-06:00Quilts make excellent gifts, and are such labours ...Quilts make excellent gifts, and are such labours of love.

It will likely make a difference in your savings goals!<br /><br />Also, around here, a number of the beauty schools offer haircuts for a really reasonable amount. I know a number of people who have gotten pretty sophisticated cuts from the Aveda institute. Maybe there's something similar in Denver that will help take a bite out of the cost.Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-63855009741343391482010-06-03T11:34:24.529-06:002010-06-03T11:34:24.529-06:00I've been to the dermatologist twice and the s...I've been to the dermatologist twice and the second time they took off 2 moles because they were suspicious. Then I made the Mr. go because he has a lot too and they took one off him.

So you might be able to ballpark that yourself (and if not, and you want names of companies, let me know. I've been reasonably satisfied with the company that replaced our windows, and we also talked to a higher end company that would have been nice, if we could have afforded it).Melospizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967972017593146047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-47295626384702505582010-06-03T09:33:03.670-06:002010-06-03T09:33:03.670-06:00May I suggest going to a Goodwill in or near an up...May I suggest going to a Goodwill in or near an upscale area, if you have such a thing?

I can safely say that, unless they actually start to fall apart, new windows will never be on the top of my priority list. I think it will take a really long time for $12,000 in savings on my utility bills to show up for the windows to "pay for themselves".LoriDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646658618955664778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-74394300600323093442010-06-03T09:21:45.935-06:002010-06-03T09:21:45.935-06:00I sometimes find it hard to get myself moving but ...I sometimes find it hard to get myself moving but once I do, I'm on a roll!
