My Personalized 12-Do-It-Myself List for 2011

I am always eager to try new things and get creative on a penny-pinchin' budget! So, after reading this post on the amazing Money Saving Mom blog...I had to create my own list(and I am borrowing a few of hers...cause lets face it--they are awesome ideas!). It has really spurred me to look deep into my heart and mind and stir up my creative juices. So, without further ado...here is my list of 12 Do-It-Myselfers for 2011

1. Make homemade dish washing detergent

9. Hand make all gifts and cards for birthdays, holidays, etc

10. Knit a scarf
