Bless your little 'Pea Pickin' hearts!! 

I have never met such a sweet bunch of ladies as you all. I just had to do something extra special for you...though it pains me to do it...cause I want to KEEP these two books. But you are worth it!

I'm going to give away two extra special books which are signed by the authors themselves to two very lucky winners.

The first is The Artistic Mother by Shona Cole. 

I have been her friend for over seven years and I know that you will enjoy learning to create some beautiful things with her help. It doesn't matter if you think your are creative or not...with her book, you can be!  I bought this copy, but I really want to help spread the word about her book, so I'm going to have to buy another copy for me. (Sniff...) I plan to work through the projects this summer and I'm sure I'll be posting pictures of my creations too. I can't wait to get started!!! I'm going to have an artsy crafty time..and you can too!     Editors Note: Shona just emailed me and said I get to keep my copy! She is going to donate a signed copy for the giveaway!!Yippee!!
                                 

If you would like to see some of the projects...already made!! you will want to visit Trudy Callan at Artistic Creations with Trudy .

She hosts an Artistic Mother's group who are working through the projects in Shona's book as we speak and you can see some of the beautiful things they are making..

The other book, for those of you who just feel you are not at all the artistic type, is

The Ultimate Cheapskate by Jeff Yeager. 

He is the neatest guy and the absolutely most frugal man on the planet of the earth. His book will have you in stitches...because he is just hilarious. But the principles he shares on saving money and being frugal, and really taking better care of our resources, are fantastic.

Some great ideas from his book are ....Why not just 'skip' the money step?  How about a Spending fast?? How much is 'enough'?  These are striking questions!! I was stunned and shocked to finally read a book about Frugal Living that emphasizes LIVING over SPENDING...or even getting rich which is often a topic in books on saving money.  He spent half a day with us after finishing a TV interview in downtown Houston.  He gave me two signed copies, one of which I will never part with. But the other one, I am willing to give to one very lucky follower, just to get a chance to tell you about his NEXT book..."The Ultimate Cheapskate Next Door" which our family will be featured in! How exciting!!

Just a little warning...some of his humor is definitely for married couples only...so..be forewarned! :o) We were so desperate for a better perspective on our finances, that I read through it all without worrying too much about the humor. But the principles he shared were absolutely rock solid. And I appreciated it.
