Hello All, So a little bit about me,....a self proclaimed Thrifter Extroidenare! I'm a few months shy of forty years young,(bring it on) I have been blessed with 2 open minded, smart, compassionate kids ages 15 and 19. I love to make things, all kinds of different crafts from gardening to refurbishing furniture. I am a soldier for peace and a student of life, hopefully I can contribute, through your great web site, some really good ideas and suggestions for an affordable way, an alternative way to buying new stuff, we all have to much stuff!
