Frugal Friday~

Welcome to the first Frugal Friday linky party of 2011!!! I've missed hosting this party for the past couple of weeks, and am so excited to see all the frugal inspiration that you all have to share!

Here are a few of my favorites from the last party.

First up, Maple and Magnolia shared her awesome craft armoire rehab. Love this!! I need to be on the lookout for a $25 armoire myself!

Craftily Ever After shared free "JOY" photography printables. I realize Christmas is over for this season...but get a jump on next year!!

Hi Sugarplum shared her DIY magnolia wreath. Take that, Pottery Barn!!

You can make this fabulous DIY chevron table runner! Check out the instructions that A Thoughtful Place shared!

Now it's your turn.

You know "da rules"!
