In the mean time one of my projects was home photography. Okay I have little kids. I take them for pictures about every 3-6 months (yep they change that fast). We spend about $100 to $200 each time we go. I even have a membership so I don't have to pay a sitting fee. But I either get the CD or a ton of prints for all the grandparents etc. And, I can't go and not get prints sorry. SO... my wonderful husband bought me a home studio set from Amazon Photography Stuido
and I have made it a goal to take all our family photos at home this year!I am printing them using the coupons and freebies I find. And, even paying for some prints on Snapfish or Shuttefly. Here's what I have done this year so far (thanks to my little brother for snapping a few of all of us together):
Total photography bill for family photos including Christmas cards, and new 11x13 prints (four of them that hang in a frame in our house): $38.00
Total Valentine's photos bill including cards, and prints for the grandparents: $5.00.
I figure I've already saved somewhere between $157 and $357. And, guess what??? I LOVE THE PHOTOS! Since we have Inara's 3rd birthday coming up in March (something I always get photos for) I figure that will be yet another shoot this year I'm saving on! There are lots of photos I didn't include here but I figured this was enough to get the idea! Yes I love photography and have done it for a long time. So this is something I could do! What is something you're starting with?
