Greetings!
© Davisflowe... | Dreamstime.com With fall right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about ways we can decorate without blowing our budgets. My personal favorite is very inexpensive or, even better yet, free! I hope you can take these ideas that I have found while searching the Internet this week, and run with them and decorate your own home--inside and out, without breaking your budget. Speaking of neat decorating ideas, be sure to check out my January Digest. In the article Feather Your Nest Frugally, I share a great decor idea that would definitely dress up your house for the fall, and don't forget about the September 2009 Digest that is dedicated to frugal decorating. |

Molly Members
 Hi Molly Members!
September member freebies are now up and ready for you to view!
Here is one of the fun and exciting freebies we are offering this month.
And for homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers alike (we ALL deal with
homework, right?) a fun little E-Book from one of my favorite speakers,
Carol Barnier.
Do you have a Platypus in your homeschool? Is she highly energetic? Constantly moving? Is he highly distractible? Would you use "struggling learner" to describe your student?
Do you wonder how to teach your little Platypus?
Carol knows what it's like to teach a bundle of energy. She shares
insight, wisdom, and encouragement based on her own life experience with
other moms in the pages of this WeE-book™. As
you can see, September focuses on emergency preparedness and is
chock-full of helpful tips and creative ideas. Feather Your Nest is an
especially creative (and frugal!) example this month. You'll find
checklists, pantry lists, resources, kids' activities, and much more.
And Penny Raine shares how she went from being a successful California
businesswoman to a "no longer
self-driven but love-driven" mother with eight children on a horse farm
in Tennessee. Living
frugally is not something she has to do; it is something she chooses to
do. Inspiring stuff!
And,
of course, you'll find all kinds of freebies and extra goodies on the
August members freebie page. Can't wait to see you there!

Hey, I Can Make That!
 There is nothing prettier than an assortment of fall leaves to place in a clear bowl on a table. However, those leaves start to crumble and fall apart after a while and make a pretty big mess. I found a tutorial this week that tells you through step-by-step on how to preserve autumn leaves. Visit Better Budgeting to find out how you can easily bring the fall outdoors right inside. |

Ideas from Around the Web
Here are a few ideas that I came across while surfing the Internet that should help you decorate for fall without putting a strain on your budget.

In the Kitchen
For this week, I found a fabulous recipe for Maple Leaf Cookies courtesy of Recipezaar.com, .
With fall weather quickly cooling us off, it brings to my mind images
of playing in the leaves (and using them to decorate!), which put me in
the mood for these buttery, maple-y, tasty treats. This is a good recipe
to let the kids get involved with because they can help with the cookie
cutters. So, get in the kitchen and whip up a batch of those delicious
fall memories with your family this week! You will all enjoy the taste
and smell of fall, and you may have time while the cookies are in the
oven to put out another autumn decor item!
Canadian Maple Leaf Cookies
Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup (the real thing!)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Measure
all ingredients and place into a large bowl. Beat ingredients on low
speed until well mixed. Shape dough into a ball; wrap with plastic
wrap.Refrigerate dough 1 hour or until easy to handle.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a large cookie sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll small
portions of the dough at a time to about 1/8" thickness. With a maple
leaf cookie cutter, cut dough into leaves. Place cookies 1 inch apart on
greased cookie sheet (or use parchment-lined sheets.) Bake 10 minutes
or until golden.
With a pancake turner,
carefully remove the cookies to wire racks to cool. Repeat until all dough is used,
greasing the cookie sheet each time (if not using parchment paper). Store cookies
in a tightly covered container.
