Frugal Friday~ Use People

People who have a hobby or skill that they just love are usually willing to share it, because they want others to share in their excitement!

The most frugal way to learn a new skill is to be alert to people around you that know how. Ask around, people know other people that may be able to teach you what you are wanting to know. Always be appreciative, and considerate of the ‘teachers’ time and resources.

Now we had no real interest in this type of floral arranging, but I am all for learning new things about other cultures. When a fellow homeschool mom’s sister, who was visiting from out of town and who has been an airline stewardess for over 30 years, offered to do a little class for a few girls, how could I resist? )

Sandra was VERY sweet and taught a great class for the girls.
She usually flies to Japan and London, so she is a wealth of information.

It was interesting to hear a little about the Japanese culture.

The class ended with tea and some Japanese cookies. Thank you Jan, Samantha and Sandra!
