can't afford $2.00 for a FQ... choose from your stash, cut 1/2 yard ... again whala ... nice gift in homemade card = $000.00... can't count cost of fabric from stash. ;D the Bottom Line is you DON'T have to spend $100/mo or even $2.00/mo. to let your secret person know they are being thought of.
That's my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.
DITTO!!!!!!!!!!! And as for fixed incomes as of right now we are looking at over a million yes a million $ in doctors and meds for DD I live on an income $5,000.00 below poverty level in the state of Ohio and now their are 2 of us living on that, not that that is anyones business but it is just to make a point. You don't have to spend a lot it is just nice to know someone is thinking of you. It is spring send a pack of flower seeds they are around 5 pks for $1 in the dollar store, make a potholder. Send a postcard postage is cheaper then a letter. DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING BUT DON"T IGNORE YOUR ANGELEE. And I have said this before it they are receiving pressies then regift what they received if they are short of money and send it to their Angelee.
