Ok this is a week or so late, but I was otherwise focused last week :-)
My first snowflakes come from three different sources; one of which, I THINK could be considered snowflake, but I am not sure how the masses out there will think.
Source 1 - the annual lottery scratchers from my sister in law, and this year, also from my oldest sister. Total winnings from said scratchers - $62
Source 2 - eating at other places so often during the holidays meant we didn't go through a whole lot for groceries. I scrimped my grocery /household dollars and put $80 towards the Line of Credit.
Source 3 - mom and dad had talked about giving $ towards DS's college last spring, and then again last summer. I never brought it up with them as I feel really awkward about taking $ from them for this. At Christmas my mom gave me a cheque for $2000. It was meant to go towards his tuition, or the Line of Credit, or for us to fly down to see him in the next couple months. Whatever I wanted - my discretion. I reluctantly took the cheque and debated for some time on where I wanted it to go.
I decided to put it where it would have the most impact - the Line of Credit. It was nice to see it come down such a big chunk in one shot.
So welcome snowflakes. All $2142 of you. It was very as good to see you.
Tuesday, Nice weekend!

Hope your neck has healed!! I would consider all of those sources as snowflakes. I do the same with my variable budgets - gas, groceries and misc - if there's some left in those areas at the end of the month it all goes into savings. I think money saved this way is valid as snowflakes.
Oh my! That'll be a lot of snowflakes coming! :D
Thanks guys. I love the inspiration January brings. I hope I can keep the momentum rolling.
I've been following your blog for awhile now, and I have always been impressed with your snowflakes! I am also starting to blog in 2015 and joining the ranks of SK bloggers out there. See you around!
Welcome Food and Frugal and thanks for reading and commenting here. I found that blogging was one of my most empowering steps in my journey to becoming more aware of the power of my little bits of money.
