Cents and Sensibility: How to Make a Penny Floor

With two little ones running around the house, I am always picking things up off the floor. I am amazed, though, by the sheer number of coins!

What I Got on Craigslist

Nothing pleases me more than a bargain. Well, maybe that’s an overstatement because I am really happy when my house is clean and in order, but honestly that is a freak of nature thanks to the loves of my life, all two and four legged. Since that rarely (if ever) happens, I have to get my thrills from bargains. When I did my post on DIY Ideas for Kids’ Rooms, I talked about ...
