From crafting lovely quilts (and I do mean lovely...art really) from, literally, scraps... crafting a meal from what you have in the pantry...to the way you share what you make and have with a multitude of others (in the physical world as well as these Ethers) you are a wonderful inspiration to me at every turn.

I have to say almost word ...Awe thank you Tracey. I have to say almost word for word from Brenda's comment. I knew we were Kindred Spirits when I read your first book when it came out. It's the one book that changed my way of living frugally. I found in it that I could live frugally yet with luxuries (like lace). I still collect lace. Now I get to comment on your blog...it's a pleasure to do so and I treasure our friendship.

I truly enjoy the way you share the books you are reading by way of pull~quotes and then discussion. As well, you open up about why these books, thoughts and/or ideas appeal to you and how you are implementing them into your life...that always gets me thinking, wondering, and taking away something of value...something I'll use to make my own world better in some small (and,sometimes,large) way.<br />Thank you!!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Tracey<br />x0xTracey McBride ~ Frugal Luxuries®https://www.blogger.com/profile/03043055986653442733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642174337877516716.post-4266010666383290972010-01-29T07:46:32.100-08:002010-01-29T07:46:32.100-08:00Thank you so much Brenda!!
