Hello again, savvy savers!  I hope you had the best of days! So, today’s challenge focused on Craftsy pattern selling! So how did you all do? For me, as I already have a new knitting pattern on my account, so I placed a new pattern up for sale, and then took an hour to plan a few new painting, kitting, and jewelry-making patterns that I can list in the next few days! It was really nice to be able to use some of my undergraduate and mater’s level art classes again! Education in action, priceless! Beyond this, I was able to glean a few ideas off of other accounts, and what even better? My husband, a crochet guru, said he may try his hand at both creating his own pattern line, and Paypal business account, too! So, today’s goal was a success! 

My Selling Goals Were:

• To list ten patterns.
• I hope to make $40.00 in profit.
• I will be working on the write-ups of my other patterns this weekend
• All items will be listed for the entirety of the next season.
• Creating my pattern was quick, simple, and very gratifying! Woohoo! 

As well today I was also able to accomplish:

1. As part of my #Choose30 Daily Challenge, I woke up at 7:25, walked my fur babies, showered, & dressed to my shoes. (Thanks, Flylady!)
2. Worked on my daily Motivated Moms Planner.
3. I finished a day’s worth of clerking assignments ahead of schedule!
4. I cooked from my pantry for each meal.
5. Read my daily devotional.
6. I waked two miles.

As well, today I saved:

• I eat at home this evening for dinner, saving our family $6.95. 
• I recycled, upcycled, and composted one bins of deluge, and saved $0.25, the cost of 1 trash bag. 
• I cooked three meals from my home pantry, saving $6.81 in the process.
• My family drank water today, and saved $0.69, the cost of a 2-liter of soda.
• I also did not watch cable tv, and saved $3.68 by doing so.

Total amount I saved my family: $21.38

This months savings goal remaining: $38.95
