(This post contains affiliate links. For more information, read here.) Last year I really wanted a certain toy for Abby to play with during the Christmas season. It finally went on sale but due to our financial situation at the time, we still couldn't afford. I mentioned that briefly in a blog comment. Within a day I received an e-mail from that blog saying that someone had seen that comment and wanted to bless me with the toy. The toy got here a week later. Abby was so excited!

Frugal Birthday Party- Curious George Themed
Saturday was Abby's 2nd birthday party. It was a Curious George themed party as the girl loooooves her some George. It's an obsession really. But as most moms and some dads know, character themed birthday parties are not cheap. To make it cheaper and keep it a frugal birthday party, I did a combination of purchased and DIY'd items.
