I thank God for everything.Nothing is mine....as long as we will never be idle...keep thriving instead, discover God's gift of talents, skills, that are in your  hands...eventually you will find one...like i do.God is great!!!

ALTERNATIVE CARPET -SAVE MORE

Here in California, we have a high sales tax which is 9.25% and if you have three children and all of you are five in the family,then that's a thing that you need to consider before spending anything, of course that is in accordance with your income or just simply frugal.Big size carpets are quite expensive plus sale tax, so it would cost more.Carpets can accentuate the beauty in your home.There are also times that the carpet will retire and to be thrown away where no matter how you clean it up, it's just it's time to let it go. I went to thrift store.Brand new quilted comforter are pretty expensive (just like the carpet) because of the style how it's being sewn " it's quilted ". But when the quilted comforters would go to thrift stores, it will only cost between $ 2- 6.95 and the difference is big.Plus, if you can find a nice color then the effect is pretty, and you can wash the quilted blanket when it gets dirty.So, I decided to transform the quilted com...

ALTERNATIVE PILLOW CASE-SAVE MORE

If you are out of budget, and would like to change your pillow case so badly. One of the creative ways i did to my pillow cases was to use my old skirt.The one in the picture is my skirt, which I never  use anymore.What I did was put the pillow inside the skirt and sew  both edges of the skirt . I used a blanket stitch when i had it sewn.Still the color of the pillow case matches my seat cover.You may have old skirts or any old fabrique that you can recycle instead of buying. My simple concept at home is that, I will decorate my home in accordance with my affordability, meaning I don't necessarily need to buy because I want to decorate my home and spend money on it.No. I let myself learned to go around my closet and look for something that can be of good use.It's all about neatness, and cleanliness, and how well you arrange the house that matters, for me it doesn't necessarily go with high end or brand new products.This is just one of my ways to simplify my expe...

SMALL AND QUIET " I MISS IT "

Last night we were watching a movie " NELL" acted by Jodie Foster and Liam Nison with his late beloved wife.There was a simple statement that Jodie as " Nell "  was stating at the court during the last part of the movie were she tried to defend hersef. Nell told the witnesses. Don't worry about Nell. She said you are used to "big" like big things, big world (as i understood it ), Nell used to small like small place,small house, live just by herself and she is used to it.You are used to being loud,Nell is used to being " quiet " like a quiet place (as i understood it ), in short " we miss quietness, and small things  in our lives ".This woman lived somewhere in the mountain of North Carolina " in the wild ". Quite a distance, there's only a small community.The movie was heart warming,sentimental,a life learning  for me, but the two words at the last part which i was struck about : small and quiet.She won the case and mo...

BUSY WITH eBay

So, far if the School will not call me to sub, then, I know my income will stop. It would still be better to earn extra income, to help my hubby's income stream for the family.So, several days I was busy posting items on eBay.In less than a month I have posted 80 items.I am hoping to post more, but i still need to balance my other activities.Well, eBay is doing good for me and I will continue doing it. I have found a new niche to sell, and it's selling well. Buy cheap, earn big. I put everything to fixed price, most likely, i get the right amount after the item get sold.One of the best items this month that got sold was my VINTAGE OLIVETTI LETTERA TYPEWRITER made in Spain.I bought this item for a few box, then got sold for $80.00 and the buyer is from Australia. Indeed, it's worth it,I mean the labor and a little bit of patience will help progress life each day.Still, I would say, it's also best to trust so well in God's provision,eBay is just one.
