Cheap easy flowers

The Crayola website has lots of neat craft ideas like these tye dye flowers http://www.crayola.com/crafts/detail/tropical-hibiscus-bouquet-craft/ They're cheap to make and a fun way to celebrate the coming of spring. The tye dye coffee filters are also great for making leis if you want to have a pretend luau and all sorts of other imaginary play, and the cost is about two bucks for a pack of coffee filters, most of theother supplies are common household items.

How to?

The economy is tight and we're all trying to save, but not lose that fun family time, to live life as full as possible on half or less income. My friends always ask me how? How do you make all this great food without breaking the budget? Where do you find all these cool things to go to?

I spend a lot of my time paying attention to what's going on around me. I walk by something like 15 flyers a day for events. Most of them are free. Some are just cheap, pay a cover charge for a date night sure why not? Take my kids skating down at Lake George, you bet. Crafts From coffee filters absolutely.
