<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Through the years I have worked with so many sweet people. I noticed a year or so ago people were coming back to the shop wanting another set of envelopes. They said after 5, 6, 7 years their envelopes were finally wearing out! Wow! When I came up with this idea I had no idea #1 it would be so successful, #2 I would start a cottage industry and # 3 they would last so many years! What a perfect product for the budget minded! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I have had so many heart warming emails over the years. They kept me going. And even yesterday - they are still coming. I asked Donna if I could share her email with you and she said of course. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">It is the little things in life that make my heart happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">Think about who you can email, send a note or talk to today and tell them something from your heart.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi! I was looking through my old orders and saw this. I had ordered a set of cloth envelopes a little over a year ago. I just wanted to let you know that I have used them since I bought them and despite the constant use, and sometimes finding their way into toddler hands, they are still in excellent condition! My husband often gets tired of prints and things after awhile and even he recently said, even after a year these prints are still pleasant to look at. Granted he doesn't carry them around like I do but he does on occasion. I don't know how to edit or add another review but just wanted to let you know we are going on a year and the quality is still obviously great. <br /><br /> Thank you,<br /> Donna Hooton</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But I see that I still have many followers on my blog and for that I say thank you and I am sorry! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Guess that is what happens after 8 years of sewing cash envelopes?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I still love the picking out the fabrics and I especially love my customers, but I have to admit, sewing the same patterns</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">over and over again for 8 years sort of starting getting to me!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Plus I would have to guess there is now about 20 different cash envelope sellers since I started the idea.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I have been spending about 99% of my time developing my new Etsy shop where I can be more creative.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am having a blast.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But, in the meantime, I am going through my SMIS stash and finding all kinds of goodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like these Japanese, linen zipper envelopes I made.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Aren't they the cutest? Love this fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thye can be used for so many things but they are perfect for cash only budgeting too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They hold paper currency and coins. Plus, there is a cute little place for a label.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be posting these in my dusty little SMIS shop sometime this week and hoping to dust off some of the cobwebs and give the shop a bit more attention. </span><br />

<br />saving money in stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04451944618461236367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079580101880364923.post-4706572384315156402016-03-16T14:19:00.004-04:002016-03-16T14:19:42.969-04:00my cash only story...__________________ MY STORY in more detail___________________________<br />
Back in 2007, my husband and I attended <br />Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace Seminar. <br />We loved the concept of “cash only” and took to it right away, <br />but it wasn’t long before I got tired of using paper envelopes for my cash. <br />I wanted something more hip, tasteful, modern and sturdy!<br />I looked everywhere for something like it - but no one had thought of it! <br />
So I made myself some designer fabric cash envelopes/carrier<br />And a few months later, in january of 2008, <br /> I started to sell them on esty under the name of crunchy cute.<br />Crunchy cute was my business where I used to sell purses, cuffs, pins…<br /> during outdoor festivals in Atlanta. <br /> My tag for crunchy cute was “modern day hippie with a touch of dainty and adorable”<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/crunchycute/sold">http://www.etsy.com/shop/crunchycute/sold</a> (over 1400 sales!)<br />
but the cash envelope business took off and I had to put the purses…on hold.<br />
I changed my shop name in june of 2010 to<br /> Saving Money In Style <br />to showcase my budget related products.<br />
… and here I am today.<br />
Since then, many other etsy sellers have gotten on the band wagon <br />and claimed "fabric envelopes" as their own.<br />
(what a world, what a world!)<br />there are A LOT of imitators but only one "saving money in style!" <br />
Since 2008 on Etsy – my little shop has grown by leaps and bounds. I have been contacted by numerous companies and have been able to promote my items worldwide. I was featured in All You magazine in January 2010 and also have had the stamp of approval from the Dave Ramsey folks!<br />And today – my husband and I are DEBT free with the exception of our mortgage<br /> and we are working on that! <br />
My biggest lesson - I ask myself when shopping for food, clothes....<br />"Is this a want or it this a need?"<br />When I stop to ask that before making a purchase - more often than not<br />I put the item back! <br />Yes, it is painful, because I always want it badly<br /> but...this simple question has saved me tons of money.<br />Plus it is much more painful handing over cash than handing over a debit or credit card!<br />I hope and pray that will help you too!<br />
To God be all the glory!<br />
Proverbs 16:3<br />Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established.<br />
Isaiah 55:8-9<br />For my thoughts are not your thoughts,<br /> neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.<br />For as the heavens are higher than the earth,<br /> so are my ways higher than your ways<br /> and my thoughts than your thoughts.saving money in stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04451944618461236367noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079580101880364923.post-71104594062408473682015-09-29T10:47:00.000-04:002015-09-29T10:47:33.060-04:00Going in a different direction for my sanity<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">For those of you who are following me - I have been winding down my shop. Not making any new items...but I miss the ability to offer something so functional and helpful to people! So, I think I have come up with an idea that will keep my sanity! </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">SO here is where I am at this point!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">After coming up with the fabric cash envelope idea back in 2008 - I have made hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sets for people!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started out using designer fabrics but after a few years I started making more one of a kind sets. </span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is where my heart is at this point. <br />So many have taken the fabric cash envelope idea and started their own shops. <br />Etsy is saturated with the same old thing.<br /> And to think back in 2008, I was the only one selling these!</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">In order to keep my sanity - I am going to focus on making one of a kind sets. <br />I am going through my stash and finding things I made throughout the years so I will be posting some designer sets along the way. <br />But - I am going to focus on using my creativity and make these one of a kind, unique sets for those who would like something a little different.<br />I am trying to keep my prices as low as I can because the pricing has gotten out of hand on Etsy. These sets should be somewhat affordable since we are talking about budgeting! I want you to have something stylish but affordable!</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />I am beginning to wind down with my current shop - Saving Money in Style.<br />I am happy to have created this cottage industry and provide hundreds and hundreds of folks with cash envelopes. <br />Plus it created over 20 or so similar shops on Etsy over the years. <br />Many folks took my idea (in a respectful way by coming up with variations of the idea)<br />and were able to make money for themselves and help others with cash budgeting. Yay!<br />Others, unfortunately copied my idea, my descriptions, my fabrics... and then lowered my price by a dollar or so to attract customers.<br /> As upsetting as that is, it is life and it is all in God's hands.<br />I have been doing this since 2008 and although I feel like it is my "baby" I really need to move on to other creative endeavors!<br />
I would appreciate your thought and prayers as I start a new journey. <br />
I will be back here from time to time to update my progress. Thank you to all who have supported me and continued to follow me even though I am not a social media girl. <br />
Love and hugs,<br />

This little wool pouch will hold paper and coins. It has 4 category tabs. I like to use something this size when I an running out and only need 2 or 3 of my budget categories like Clothing, Entertainment and Nails/Hair. I just throw the coins in the bottom and then transfer everything over to my larger set when I get home. Kind of fun to have a cute little pouch for just a few items!</div>

Just a sneak peek at a few of the sets that I am working on when I take a break from sewing my orders!<br />
The one on the left is a red and gray carrier with gray envelopes: 2 of each envelope shown.<br />
The one in the middle shows the six envelope in turquoise/yellow and gray with the turquoise damask carrier.<br />
The set on the right top will be 6 Velcro envelopes (or zipper) if you request it (!) I love my new arrow fabric.<br />
And the set on the bottom right will be 6 zipper pouches in my new Japanese linen fabric. Way cute.<br />
If you are interested in any of these sets - just email me and I will give you a price and estimate on time frame for completion!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">a chance to get something free!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so i am offering another giveaway this month. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">these giveaways are not your typical high profile giveaways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i do not advertise and i rarely have the time to tweet, facebook and even blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so for those of you who are reading my blog and for those of you who are customers of my little shop - this giveaway if for you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">my way of saying thanks and that i appreciate you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">this month's giveaway will be on the 31st.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> i will try to do a giveaway each month and announce the winner at the end of each month.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">if you want to "enter" the giveaway just leave me a comment or like me on my facebook page...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">and those who have purchased from me -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> leave me some (hopefully positive!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">feedback on my shop</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">like i said, not a real high tech giveaway - i am not a big social media gal. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">believe me i have tried. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but i just cannot seem to make the time to do that sort of thing! i love to sew!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but i do want to "give back" to those of you who have been loyal readers and those of you who enjoy my products!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">so... enough of that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">this month's giveaway is a cute zipper pouch with 5 brown non Velcro envelopes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the pouch has room if you want to add your own coin pouch too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> these envelopes are made by another seamstress. she helped me out when i had hand surgery. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">i was trying to keep up with orders at that time but was not allowed or even able to sew at that time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">she didn't exactly make them the way i do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">but they are made out of my sturdy canvas fabric and serve the purpose well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">the thing i am not happy with is the sewing showing on the outside is not perfect so much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">most folks are not bothered by that - in fact - she gives sewing lessons here in Atlanta and has her own sewing studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> so there you go. it is just not the way i would do it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">see - here is another reason i don't do this stuff! these photos were upright when i inserted it but now</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">i have to take time to go back and figure out how to make it right side up then insert again - </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">so that gets old! for someone who wants to be creative and is not fond of tech stuff.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;">+++ i will fix this but right now i need to get back to my orders!</span></div>

<br />
in an effort to cut down on the amount of information in each of my listings...i have decided to create a link to my blog about my story.<br />
here it is...<br />
*******************************************************<br />my story :)<br />
Back in 2007, my husband and I attended Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace Seminar.<br />
We loved the concept of “cash only” and took to it right away, but it wasn’t long before I got tired of using paper envelopes for my cash.<br />
<br /> I wanted something more hip, tasteful, modern and sturdy! I looked everywhere for something like it - but no one had thought of it! <br />
So I made myself some designer fabric cash envelopes/carrier.<br />
<br />And a few months later, in january of 2008, I<br /> started to sell them on esty under the name of crunchy cute.<br />Crunchy cute was my business where I used to sell purses, cuffs, pins…<br />during outdoor festivals in Atlanta. <br />My tag for crunchy cute was “modern day hippie with a touch of dainty and adorable”<br /><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/crunchycute/sold">http://www.etsy.com/shop/crunchycute/sold</a> (over 1400 sales!)<br />
<br />but my cash envelope business took off and I had to put the purses…on hold.<br />
<br />I changed my shop name in june of 2010 to<br />Saving Money In Style <br />to showcase my budget related products.<br />… and here I am today.<br />
since then, many other etsy sellers have gotten on the band wagon <br />and claimed "fabric envelopes" as their own.<br />
(what a world, what a world!)<br />
<br />there are A LOT of imitators but only one "saving money in style!" <br />
<br />
Since 2008 on Etsy – my little shop has grown by leaps and bounds. <br />
I have been contacted by numerous companies and have been able to promote my items worldwide. <br />
I was featured in All You magazine in January 2010 and also have had the stamp of approval from the Dave Ramsey folks!<br />
<br />And today – my husband and I are DEBT free with the exception of our mortgage and we are working on that! <br />
<br />
to god be all the glory.<br />
<br />
Proverbs 16:3<br />Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established.<br />
<br />
Isaiah 55:8-9<br />For my thoughts are not your thoughts,<br />neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.<br />For as the heavens are higher than the earth,<br />so are my ways higher than your ways<br />and my thoughts than your thoughts.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"I just wanted to thank you! At first it was hard to justify spending the money to save money, but over the last several weeks, my husband and I have saved at least a hundred a week!! Thank you so much!! The pouches match my personality perfectly and they are so sturdy!! I'll definitely be recommending your shop to friends!"</span><br />

business for me!<br />
but i do have to admit there are times i get a little tired. <br />
and then i get an email like the one below and it just reminds me of why i do what i do. <br />
what a joy and a real blessing to me. thanks again, marlys for taking the time to email me.<br />
i needed that! and i hope you email motivates others to keep on track with their budget! your enthusiasm is contagious! <br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
WOW! WOW! WOW!<br />
Hi Cathy,<br />
<div>
<br />
I don't know where to start! I was sitting here at my desk doing my budget (just started the Dave Ramsey FPU last month) and going through my paper envelopes (my sweet dad gave me the plastic and paper budget system) and thinking, oh gosh, these are FLIMSY and not pretty but it's okay, I am doing my budget... it must be SERIOUS. </div>
<div>
<br />
But on a whim I searched Etsy and found your beautiful shop and products, your darling blog and I am seriously so excited I can't even settle down and order properly! Yes it is serious, but that doesn't mean I can't look at my envelopes with all my hard-earned money and love the colors and patterns!! OH MY GOSH!!!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I don't know what colors to order! I don't know what labels to order! Everything is SO GORGEOUS! I loved the pink and brown but then saw the orange set on your blog... oh my gosh!!! I know you cannot help your customers figure out what colors they like and I will figure that out and order properly but I just had to tell you how happy, happy, happy you made me!<br />
<br />
And it's Saturday night, I'm doing my budget, my kids are with their dad and his girlfriend... I wouldn't think this would be a night where I would be bouncing in my desk chair saying, "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!"</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So... it's my birthday next month and my mom wants to give me some money for something I really want and what I really want is the lovely things you are making! I AM SO HAPPY!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
It's going in the budget November 1st! I will wait happily all month for it, too!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So now I have two weeks to look over your page, figure out how to put two kid kits in the budget and figure out my patterns and labels! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
FUN!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thank you so much for making something pretty... I love Dave Ramsey's program so much and it's been a huge help even though I only started it less than 2 months ago!!! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Thank you!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Can't wait to order!</div>
<div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made these to get my mind off of things during the last few days before we had to say good bye to bella. I thought it would be fun to give them away now. these are laminate/oilcloth fabric. they measure around 5 x 61/2"ish so you can stuff lots of $$ and or receipts in there.</span> <br />
<br />
I will be giving both away so you have to let me know (by leaving me a comment on this blog) which one you would like if you should win. <br />
