Monkey See Monkey Do

Actually, I have a set of monkeys in my Ravelry queue- Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil? I really should make them soon. I think they'd look nice on my desk at work.

No Spend Month

Happy Friday! I've recently decided (recently meaning within the last couple hours) to do a "No Spend Month" Challenge for the month of September. Am I crazy for doing this? I kinda feel a bit crazy. I went onto Pinterest, searching for hints and tips and whatnot, and quickly fell down the rabbit hole. (To be honest though, "Went to Pinterest" and "fell down the rabbit hole" are a bit synonymous.)
