I had mentioned in my Prom post that my daughter had made her own necklace and she put it together for next to nothing, but I didn’t have a good picture. Lucky for us we had 2 Formals this year in which she got to wear it all, so I got the picture finally.
Micheal’s has so many pendants, I couldn’t even believe it. They also have all the different kinds of chains to put the pendants on. The options are endless, and with the 40% off coupons that come in the paper every week and the ones that print off every time you make a purchase it’s hard not to get it cheap.
My daughters pendant was $3.99 – 40% off = $2.39 and she never found a “chain” she liked so she just picked out a ribbon that was 62¢. Total price for this necklace was $3.01.
All that to say Jewelry is now a Not 4 That item, meaning we won’t be spending a lot of money on it when we know we can do it affordably.

With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then. 
This is so pretty! Your daughter did an awesome job. And I don’t think I’ll ever pay full price for jewelry again.
