First entry into the Fauquier County Fair

I made a very pretty apron and decided to enter it into the fair.....well, I got second place! YEA me!

Okay, so I am now hooked! LOL I am already thinking of what I can enter in next year. Once I get a picture made of the apron, I will post it.

I am currently working on a renaissance costume for the fair later this year....maybe I will enter it in the fair next year. At least, I will if it turns out good.

On the FRUGAL side, making a costume is ALOT more cost effective than to purchase one! I almost fainted when I saw the prices for items last year! Even with fabric on the expensive side....I will be saving hundreds!

I plan on putting more frugal ideas and tips on here...now that I know things are publishing correctly. :-)

Okay...showing up now.

Of course I have to go online via another internet provider to see them, so it must be something with AOL. (Not real surprised there :( )

I was not posting much because I did not see them coming up and figured, "what good would it do"

Are my post showing up at all???

OKay... I post a new entry and I do not see it posting to the web. Or it take a week before it shows up. I refresh my link and I clear out my cache (sp?), and still nothing.

I am trying to get this to clear up, but if some one out there in cyber-land reads this, please email me and let me know that it is just on my end. LOL

Adventures in Camping

Well.....just got back frm camping. Besides the bugs (I was eaten alive!) and the thunder storms......it was fun.

Ian and Ainsley had a great time. This was their first time. I also learn some things also. I will post more later....just wanted to pop in for a minute.
