I'm so excited to be swapping places with Kimberly for a day! I'm Christina, and I have a blog about my life, which includes a lot of things with very little money :)
I'm a wife to a graduate student (aka we only live on my salary), a doggy-mommy, and an Autism Support teacher (kindergarten - all boys = very tired!) Crafting and re-purposing old and ugly things has become a passion of mine, and an escape from the stresses in my life!
Here's some of my most favorite projects I've made so far:
My all-time favorite project is my desk. I made over this desk for less than THREE DOLLARS! See...told you I am cheap!
I've also learned how to re-upholster VERY simple things...such as this bench...originally a thrift store reject:
I've also pulled out my sewing machine again, and have had so much fun making pillow covers lately:

...and I love taking things from thrifty stores that other people might pass by, to make beautiful decorative displays in my house that you would never know were super cheap:

If you follow my blog, you'll get to see many guest appearances from my beloved baby Buckley too:
Go on, rush over. I won't be offended if you leave right now. Not that I'm kicking you out... but you'll love joining in Christina's adventures!
