First Post and Why?

Well, this is my first post on my shiny new blog. I have decided to write a blog because so many crafty sites/blogs involve lots of money. I do not have lots of money and tend to craft on the cheap. I love to snap up bargains and have often made something from nothing. I am about to embark on several different projects one of which involves getting my sons bedroom to look like the one from the Laura Ashley Nautical theme, without spending LA money. I have decided to paint the entire room white. White for me is good, you can spot paint walls with biro/crayon/stubborn marks and it's cheap. I can also add tons of stuff in loads of colours and hopefully (in my mind anyway) it will not look overdone.
