I am a good American.  Over the past week or so, I've been thinking about how I can use my stimulus check to help the economy.  I'm willing to do so, even if a certain frugal man thinks said money should be safely put into a "lock box" for our future.  Today begins a special series on "Shopping For The Sake Of America."  

Start with something to treat yourself.

Pink marshmallow foaming sugar body polish, it sounds so yummy. Top it off with Lemon Sugar Whipped Body Frosting, both from Cozy Moments.

Fresh, handcrafted soap delivered to your door every month for a year. Every month you can scrub clean, knowing that you helped the economy.  

I've never actually purchased a quilt for myself.  Most of the ones I have were made by relatives, either specifically for my husband and me (or our girls) or for someone who came before me.  I've been admiring the quilts by Carolina Patchwork, though, and I love this Pink Squares Patchwork quilt.  I was also a big fan of the Red Floral Retro Swell Quilt, but it sold right after I discovered it. 

A pretty new dress to wear as you do your stimulus shopping.
