Recycling Xmas Cards
Why throw your old cards… which are often beautiful… in the recycling bin… when you can create beautiful and creative gift tags or xmas cards for another year of enjoyment.
Have you ever thought of cutting out the picture with decorative edged scissors & placing them on another card? Add some glitter, a piece of ribbon & you have created a gorgeous new hand made card!!
For the cards that have a paper insert this is even easier. Remove the insert & make another one to glue in with your own special message written on it…. or if you’re really clever you can type it on the computer in your special font.
Enjoy the Festive Season!

Negotiating A Better Deal
With goods costing more & bills arriving faster, you have to make your hard-earned money stretch further.
If you adopt this simple rule “If you don’t ask you don’t get”, you stand a good chance of getting more for less.
Here’s a few rules to getting your best price….
Do your homework….
The more information you have before you bargain, the greater your chances of scoring a deal.
Pick the right bargaining partner….
Always ask to talk with a manager or the owner.
Ask plenty of questions…
Be confident and ask the questions about the product or service you are interested in. Be polite & friendly & show an interest in the salesperson.
Make an offer…
Start off offering a price that’s not too low & wait for their counter offer.
Be prepared to walk away….
If the salesperson cannot or will not budge on their offer be prepared to walk away.

Happy Negotiating! If you don’t ask… you won’t receive!

Saving Money!
What Ways Do You Have To Help You Save Money!
I find that emptying out my purse each day of coins can soon add up….You certainly would be surprised.
I usually shop only every 2nd week for main groceries. If I went every week I’d spend just as much. This way if it runs out we just have to wait. You also save petrol by not having to make that extra trip.
A great way to take advantage of this….. Check out your cupboards & see what’s been hanging around that can be used. This way it won’t be left and eventually have to be thrown out because it’s out of date.
You might have purchased it at a discount but if it ends up being thrown out, it was definitely not worth the discount in the first place. Don’t get caught out.

Printing Savings!
If you’re anything like me you love to take photos… but it sure adds up when it comes time to print them.
These days camera shops have their own printing…. & it’s so easy to take out the memory stick from your camera & crop them yourself before printing them. Where we before digital cameras!!
I’ve heard that Harvey Norman’s is very popular with the scrapbooking crowd… who you can imagine have a huge amount of photos for printing for their layouts.
So make sure you shop around to get the best price & quality for your precious photos.
