    Don't worry - there is no such thing as failure - it's just a learning opportunity.

    So what happened?

    You bought some really special material at a rock-bottom price?

    WELL I bought some material, 100% cotton. I drooled, walked out the door and almost got back to the van without purchasing any. I then turned around and walked right back in and bought some.

    What fun frugality is. I can save in some areas to spend on my passion.

    I am glad you stopped, turned around and walked back in there and bought your material because you deserve it CJ. We have to be able to live a little.

    Ahh, but it isn't truly failure, CJ, because you THOUGHT about it long and hard before you did it, and to me, the no-spend challenge is really all about becoming more MINDFUL of the spending that you do. Mindful spending...that should be my motto for 2006!

    Guess what ladies?

    Horrors, it wasn't on sale. I paid top dollar for it and purchased 4 metres.

    It felt like soaking in a bath, with expensive bubble bath and a tall glass of vine. Know that feeling, that's how it felt.


    Kimberly, that's right. It's about mindful spending, knowing what you want and going for it. It's about PASSION!!!!! Don't you think??? Rhonda, you can just skip this little part - you didn't see it okay.
