Value For Money

We all want value for our money.

I am sure that most of us are

endeavouring to achieve a

desired outcome at the best

possible price in all areas

of our lives.

So how do you achieve value

for your money when it

comes to Scrapbooking

and Cardmaking

or other various crafts ?

If you are having to purchase all

the items you require (like me)

and not in the fortunate position

of being supplied with various

manufactures products how

do you acheive value for money ?

The phrase "caveat emptor" means

"let the buyer beware".

It pays to shop around !

So here are some of my

value for money tips

and recent great finds that I would

love to share with you.

This paper  is called BLUR
from BASIC GREY and it
 has served me well
on these three projects below.

I picked the paper up at
Photo Continental one of my
local Scrapbooking stores.

A great paper for the boys in
our lives,  don't you think ? 




Oh yes this is a real snake !
This pose is the "trying to be like Steve Irwin 
 The Crocodile Hunter  pose "

A very cool dude indeed !

Hers is a quick card for the boys

And for my little "Blue Wren" project
( my April post )

Now thats what I call value for money !

A few weeks ago I found

a great little shop called Vintage Aura

where you can get a Devonshire Tea

for a gold coin donation and the money

is donated to the RSPCA.

I also picked up some georgeous

lace doillies there for only $6 each !!!

Now thats fantastic value for money !

The other great deal I recently found

was online where I purchased

my new Nikon 5000 camera 
at half price !

Some shopping quotes to make you smile !

If men liked shopping,
they'd call it research.
-- Cynthia Nelms--


Shopping is a woman thing.
It's a contact sport like football.
Women enjoy the scrimmage,
the noisy crowds,
the danger of being trampled to death,
and the ecstasy of the purchase.
-- Erma Bombeck --

How true !
