I must of done something right
My 18 year old will be moving into the dorms at the local community college the middle of August. For graduation, she received over $400 in monetary gifts.... after we pre-registered her last Friday, she informed me that we need to make a trip to the thrift stores so she can get her dorm stuff before move in day....
ahhhh..... such a frugal child....:rainbow:

Well done! She will have so much fun, both now, during college and after graduation, with all the skills she has acquired. Are you going to help her paint, etc her new stuff?

she is also a
packratsaver of things. So she has saved a stack of t-shirts from her years at Camp Quality and all her HS cheer, prom, activity shirts. She wants to make a reversible t-shirt quilt out of them for her bed... I think that will be fun.Last edited by fluttermuffin; 07-24-2009 at 09:37 AM.
