First Post!

  I've created a lot of blogs, and I mean A LOT.  In fact, there was a time, when my kids were very small, that blogging is all I did.  I often juggled anywhere from 10-15 blogs at a time: blogs about organic household cleaning, knitting projects, everyday musings.  You name it, and at some point I've probably blogged about it.  Then my kids grew and I went back to working full time.  But I managed to always keep a handful of blogs up and running.  And don't even get me started on my social media addiction!

Now, in all of my vast blogging experience, one hurdle has always remained: the inevitable first blog post.  That insurmountable task of writing down and explaining, to total strangers,exactly what I am about, what I plan to blog about, what my life goals are, why I'm the one with the experience and know-how to be blogging about this, what I'm plaOH MY GOSH WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF AGAIN!?!?

It's awful.  But I will do my best to sum up myself and this blog as quickly and painlessly as possible.  Here goes:

My name is Emma.  I'm married, have two kids, and a 150lb Great Dane named Bentley.

I live in the greatest city in the world, Charleston.  (No, seriously.  We're the best!)


I make my living as a costume designer.


I'm cheap.  Like, REALLY cheap.  


I love saving money in interesting ways, making money in interesting ways, and creating things in weird ways.  


And that's about it!  Follow along on my adventures!  Hopefully you'll learn a few things, laugh at a few things, be inspired by a few things, and end the day with a little extra money in your pocket!  

All the best,

Emma
