Hello All, I wanted to let you know that I have been busy over at the Frugal Recipe blog. This past week, I posted three snack platter ideas. Next week I am posting three tomato soup ideas, one each on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Happy Eating! http://frugalrecipes.wordpress.com Shannon

Brightest Blessings!

I hope to help as many people as possible to live more frugally, whether they have to or choose to.

I am a freelance writer and a housekeeper, bedmaker and in laundry at an inn. Most of my articles end up on eHow.com and GardeGuides.com, as well as a number of blogs, and elsewhere on the web. All of this keeps me pretty busy.

I like to try to save pennies wherever possible, incorporating sales, coupons and dollar stores into my shopping habits. It is my desire to help other to be more frugal.

Warmest Wishes

Shannon
