I love your callendar, my own will be on the top of my to do list. So much great stuff to learn from your other answers as well. I think I share some of Helen and Anupama's thought as well, try to stay away from bargin hunting, only buy what you need, both to save time and money. This was such a great post to read :) xTone-Lillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03334608690814017086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651131412786316655.post-8980726239685962892013-07-18T21:54:42.586+08:002013-07-18T21:54:42.586+08:00Many words of wisdom here, my friend!

After shopping like a kid in a candy shop for three years, it helped me streamline the stuff I picked up this year. I also agree with Helen about avoiding the bargain sections of online stores. You only end up buying too much of what you don't need eventually!<br />Thank you Yvonne for sharing this post :))))<br />ANUPAMA CHOUDARYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00638062183952122856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651131412786316655.post-16124569850392782772013-07-18T07:37:54.370+08:002013-07-18T07:37:54.370+08:00I really really enjoyed reading today's post Y...I really really enjoyed reading today's post Yvonne and I totally agree with all my fellow commenter's your post is really helpful and a great insight on managing time and craft supplies...I always tend to do things at the last moments and that really causes a lot of tense moments for me ..I think i am going to organise things better and follow a schedule like you have said ...hopefully it will work for me :)Hussenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015727983005428718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651131412786316655.post-80924472919066886422013-07-18T05:11:39.396+08:002013-07-18T05:11:39.396+08:00Now I know why you're so awesome Yvonne.

Some things differ for me like it's quicker for me to shop online than hunt locally and generally fail. I don't do discount sites either - no time to become a full-time shopper or receive daily deal e mails so I stick to stores I know that are easy to navigate (sites) and easy to deal with. I don't have time to trawl through sales for out of date stuff. I go straight to new products and get a little of the latest and greatest. If I bought bargains I'd have no budget left for what I really need. I have limited my manufacturers big time too now - to hone my style and. Save time and money shopping.Ella Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513756748890808997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651131412786316655.post-15153035495761304192013-07-17T13:54:37.223+08:002013-07-17T13:54:37.223+08:00Wow thats a great informative post.Thanks for shar...Wow thats a great informative post.Thanks for sharingkavithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851721357724096765noreply@blogger.com
