It's not too late to begin a new Christmas tradition -

the Money Mason Jar

What a wonderful idea!  Have family members put money in a Mason

jar throughout the year.  At Christmas time choose someone to bless

anonymously.  On Christmas eve deliver the Christmas Jar by

'Ring and run.'  Another option, to teach little ones the value of
sharing, is to leave the money jar for Santa and ask him to deliver
it to a needy family.  


Here are some darling ideas for those of us who
choose to give cash instead of a gift at Christmas:

Does someone on your gift list have a dream of traveling to Paris?

Create a Dream Trip Bank and put some cash in it before wrapping. 

If you don't want to get into wood working

consider a simple Eiffel Tower jar:

Something Turquoise

It's easier to save when you have a visual goal:

Something Turquoise

Little ones can comprehend most commercial logos:

               

Sassy Sites and Jesenia Focks

Find a good used Disney book at a thrift shop,

cut out the characters, and Modge Podge to a job.

Instead of putting money in a card why not make

a darling 'stache jar they can use year 'round?

What parent doesn't like to teach a lesson during the gift giving season?

Vinyl stick-on letters were used on small Ball jars and the message is

easy to read.  Giving or Good Deeds could be substituted for Tithing.

Teenage boys and young men can be very hard to shop

for but they'll completely appreciate a money jar.

Aren't the money bow ties darling?!

Well, it's Tuesday and that means the weekly Miss Money Pitt update:

The floor refinishers are still hard at work on the hardwood floors.

They'll wrap up today and, so far, everything looks great.

The Saga of the Little Downstairs Bathroom continues with much drama.

The width of the bathroom is 70" which means we need a 70" vanity, right?

Unfortunately, commercial vanities are made for 68" spaces, i.e., a custom

cabinet and counter top are in our future.

We're now the proud owners of over a foot of R60

insulation in the attic so we'll be toasty this Winter.  

See you tomorrow!
