Happy Homemakers
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. ~ William Morris
Creativity
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
Cheerfully Frugal
Use it up,
wear it out,
make it do,
or do without.
~Depression-era Rhyme

Growing Things
He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who pursues worthless things lacks sense.~Proverbs 12:11
Nourishment and Wellness
Good broth will resurrect the dead.~South American proverb
Abundant Life
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10
Sweet Friends
Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength!~Nehemiah 8:10

That is so sweet! Way better than a flimsy plastic bag splashed with Disney Princesses!
Thank you. :) My thought is that when you are putting on a frugal party, presentation is everything!
