Tales from Bloggeritaville: Thrifty Thursday Recap

I hope you had the opportunity to visit all of the Thrifty Thursday participants on Thursday. If not, I hope you will. Each week I am so inspired by the "roadtrip" I take via their blogs.
Thank you for inspiring me!
Here's a sneak peek at just a small sampling of Thrifty Thursday Participants:

The Country Chic Cottage featured this thrifty decor made with cardboard! Monogrammed letters+ sheet music=fabulous!

Lynette of LAM Blog saved a bundle of cash doing some detective work. She fell in love with these Ballards prints. Each Ballards print cost $169.00 Lynette did better. She got her's for $41.96. She saved $127.04 per print!

Jane of Finding Fabulous created these thrifty no sew aprons using kitchen hand towels. No Sew is fabulous for me, if you recall my Monday post about my time "sewing" in home ec class. Why didn't I make one of THESE aprons in home ec?
Aren't these precious? Yeah, Jane! The aprons are almost as cute as the lovely models!

Chris, Erin and Jayce's Blog had this wonderful homemade necklace organizer, created from a thrift store frame and some Wal-Mart hooks.

Thanks for linking up Thrifty Thursday, friends. Thank you also to those that dropped by for the party. I am always happy to have you visit me here at Tales from Bloggeritaville.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. We're expecting snow! I'll believe it when I see it........ Stay Warm!

Words of Wisdom

"Older and wiser voices can always help you find the right path, if you are only willing to listen."-Jimmy Buffett

Sea Joy
When I go down by the sandy shore,I can think of nothing I want moreThan to live by the booming blue seaAs the seagulls flutter round about me.
I can run around when the tide is outWith the wind and the sand and the sea all about,And the seagulls are swirling and diving for fish.Oh, to live by the sea is my only wish.
- Jacqueline Bouvier

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream." --- Mark Twain

The cure for anything is salt water---sweat, tears, or the sea. ~Isak Dinesen

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.Philippians 4:12,13 NIV

Live a good life and in the end it's not the years in the life, it's the life in the years.~ Abe Lincoln

Let your boat of life be light Packed with only what you need --A homely home and simple pleasures,One or two friends, worth the name,Someone to love and someone to love you,A cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,Enough to eat and enough to wear,And a little more than enough to drink...For thirst is a dangerous thing.
-- Jerome K Jeromefrom "Three Men in a Boat"

The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings but not its end.

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
~Eleanor Roosevelt

"We can make our plans,But the LORD determinesour steps" Proverbs 16:9

"Let us not forget what is best remembered or may we not remember what is best forgotten."

"Fish and overnight guest stink after three days."
~plaque at Fish Camp Restaurant, Orange Beach, Alabama

"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human being experience."

"A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you today just the way you are."
Proverbs 27:17

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have. The richest person is not the one who has the most, but the one who needs the least.

Live simply. Love generously. Care Deeply. Speak Kindly. Leave the Rest to God.

Worry is a robber of time and energy. Take comfort within that God's power is what we truly need. He knows our needs before we can even ask for them.

If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry. Faith is the ability to not panic.

Don't "find" a religion. "Find" your relationship with God.
~Bill Burgess

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great ones make you feel that you, too, can become great."-Mark Twain

We live just west of Tuscaloosa. Thanks for hosting Thrifty Thursday so we can all play! Here's hoping for lots of snow here in Bama tomorrow!; February 11, 2010 at 10:34 PM
