Get a free idea book from KraftMaid Cabinetry! Link is here. It’s a 150-page planner and idea book for redesigning your home. Of course, it has ideas for using KraftMaid products! But I love idea books and am always ready to learn how I can make my room more efficient. A little creativity goes a long way.

The form asks for your name, address, email, and phone number. I skipped the phone number, and used my “extra” email address that I reserve for samples, mailings, and other spammy-type emails.

Thanks, Money Saving Pro, for the heads up. The blog has a long list of free samples available (I just love blogs that list free samples!) and it has a TON of other really great articles there about saving money and home living.

Just a little reminder for you gardeners out there who are pinching pennies: many home improvement stores have slashed their prices on shrubs, trees, and plants right now. This is one of the best times to grab some discounted stuff. I almost always buy all my plants at this time of the year. Even if the plant is old and very sorry-looking, you can still cultivate it, as long as it’s alive and not diseased. I have nabbed plants for as little as $1, and they are thriving in my gardens.
