The Art of Inspiration!

Sometimes it takes someone to inspire you to do certain things and I just want to give credit… where credit is due.

Although CK is my name and Couponing is my game, it took someone special in my life to help me come as far as I have.

I hope I still have miles to go!

Her name is Ashley and she is my Sister-in-Law.

She moved out here about 5 years ago and was all of a sudden a “Stay at home (not yet) mom”!

She had been a VERY succsessful business women who graduated from a very prestigious college where she came from.

When she came out here, it took her awhile to figure out what she wanted to do… and then she had her daughter, Sienna… also known now as Boo!

Ashley started her own company called Lil Blue Boo and in order to promote herself, she had to start a blog and get fans to follow her on Facebook.

It’s only been a little over 2 years and now her success is, for a lack of better words, ADMIRABLE!

She now has well over 11,000 followers and the number grows each day.

When I lost my “Career” and I was down in the dumps and trying to figure out what the heck to do… a light bulb went off in my head.

If I am great at couponing… and people stop me and ask me all of the time about how to make it work and how to get one of my organizers… then I needed to follow Ashley’s lead and start my own Blog and Facebook page.

She has been there to answer any questions I’ve had and with her business intelligence, she has slowly taken some time out of her BUSY life to show me how to go about blogging.

I am so grateful to her because she had even allowed me to step into her business for a little “extra work” while my times are tough… and I’ve got to see some behind the scenes on how she does it.

If you haven’t checked out her site yet… YOU NEED TOO!

Savings isn’t all about using coupons… it’s all about Do It Yourself projects that not only keep you creative… but gives you the tools you need to have your own nice things and designs without spending a lot of money.

One of the BEST parts of being Ashley’s Sister-in-Law is that I get to benefit from her talents!!!

Here is my daughter wearing a Lil Blue Boo dress…

…and here is the Hardboard Nursery Art I’ve got to benefit from for my kids’ room!

We also had our 1st Children a few months apart and have been able to watch them grow up together!

My son is wearing a Lil Blue Boo screen printed shirt in this pic!

The purpose of this post is just to say… Thank You Ashley… I don’t think you know how many people you actually inspire… but I am one of them!

And I only hope that one day… my blog will be at least HALF of what yours is!

XOXO

Love CK
