Thrifty Skirt

I found a skirt at Old Navy that was originally about $25, marked down 75%, which made it about $6.  I tried it on and loved it.  There were two problems though.  The zipper was broken, and it was the only one left.  Also, it was a tad bit too short for me.  Then, all of a sudden, I got a bright idea.  Duh!  I could fix the zipper!  So, I bought it, and they gave me and extra 50% off because the zipper was broken.  The cashier told me there was no way I could return it.  No problem.  For $3 I can fix it!

I bought a new zipper and some eyelet lace to add to the bottom.

It was a really quick fix, and I've already worn it.  I like wearing a pink shirt with it, so I can wear my favorite pink polka dot shoes.  I also wore my pink rolled rose bracelet with it.

Pillow Contest

Carlee from Ladybird Ln hosts Crafting For a Cause, aka Lend a Hand. "Ladybird Lend a Hand is a program where each month we highlight a charity, and find projects we can all do to help their cause.  We do not have a lot of money at our disposal, but we would like to share our talents to in some way do good for others."

I found out about this wonderful program a month ago.  She invited me to join in the pillow fight this month, which is a pillow contest. (I know I should have posted this sooner than the last day so you all could participate...so sorry I didn't.)  Anyways, I am entering the pillows I made in April, the same ones I previously posted, just in more detail.
