Hey Village ❤️

I didn't say anything during last night's Live, but I haven't been feeling quite right for the last couple of days.

I've been having a strange fluttering feeling in my chest, and when I checked it on my watch, it actually picked up some extra/early heartbeats. I've also had some chest heaviness, a lot of what feels like indigestion, and some nausea.

Then today I started having pain in my right calf that seemed to travel up my leg. At that point I decided I had enough different things going on that I shouldn't sit home trying to figure out what was related and what wasn't.

So… I'm at the hospital getting checked out. ❤️

I don't know that anything is wrong, and I'm not jumping to any conclusions. I just decided it was smarter to listen to my body and let the professionals figure it out.

I wanted to update you because I didn't tell you any of this last night, and you guys are my Village. I'll let you know when I know more.

XO,
Donna ❤️

🎃 The Nightmare Before Christmas Shuffle • Draw • Save $1,000 Savings Book

Welcome to a savings challenge where Halloween Town meets your savings goals! 🖤💜

The Nightmare Before Christmas Shuffle • Draw • Save $1,000 Savings Book turns saving into an interactive game featuring 10 different numbered savings challenges inspired by your favorite Nightmare Before Christmas characters.

Inside the book you'll find challenges featuring Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, Dr. Finkelstein, the Mayor, Sandy Claws, Lock, Shock & Barrel, Sally & Jack, and more themed artwork throughout the collection.

But here's where the fun really begins...

🃏 SHUFFLE • DRAW • SAVE!

The book includes a printable Challenge Deck that works together with your 10 numbered savings challenges.

Print and cut your cards, shuffle your deck, and draw a card. The number you draw tells you which numbered savings challenge to work on next.

Then YOU decide how much you'd like to save.

Save $1 or $20. Draw one card or several. There is no required savings amount each time you play—the idea is to make the challenge work with your budget.

For every $1 you save, mark off one space on that challenge. Keep shuffling, drawing, saving, and marking your progress until you've completed all 10 challenges.

💰 COMPLETE ALL 10 = $1,000 SAVED!

Your printable book includes:

10 numbered Nightmare Before Christmas savings challenges
$100 to save on each challenge
$1,000 total savings goal
Challenge Deck How-To-Play page
Printable numbered Challenge Deck cards
Coordinating printable card backs
50-card deck option — simply print the challenge-card pages five times
Character-themed challenge pages featuring Jack, Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, Sandy Claws, the Mayor, Dr. Finkelstein, Lock, Shock & Barrel and more
Plenty of spaces to color or mark as you work toward your goal

Shuffle the deck. Draw your challenge. Choose your amount. SAVE.

Whether you work through it a little at a time or turn it into your next big savings goal, this book lets you make the journey completely your own.

🎃👻 HALLOWEEN IS OFFICIALLY HERE! 👻🎃

Halloween Fun & Games Savings Challenge Collection
donnapoweredbycreativity.com/ols/products/hallowee…

I have been creating, creating, creating — and the Halloween Fun & Games Savings Collection is NOW UP on my website! 🖤

This collection includes 5 Halloween themes and 15 mini savings games — with roll & saves, word games, Sudoku, mazes, matching, counting, and lots of other fun ways to SAVE while we get ourselves into spooky season. 🎃

We have:

🧙‍♀️ Witches’ Corner
🎃 Pumpkin Patch
🏚️ Haunted House
🐈‍⬛ Black Cat Crossing
👻 Trick or Treat

And because I know some of you like to put everything together into a book, I also created the coordinating Halloween Fun & Games book cover! The book cover is sold separately and can also be found in the Fun & Games section. donnapoweredbycreativity.com/ols/categories/fun-an…

I wanted these to feel nostalgic, playful and just plain FUN. Saving money doesn't always have to feel serious — sometimes we can solve a puzzle, roll a die, pick a door, count some candy and save a few dollars while we're at it. 🧡

🎃 Come save, play & have a little Halloween fun with me!

I owe my Village a little explanation… ❤️

First, I’m sorry I didn’t go live last night—and I’m sorry I never even posted to let you know that Sunday Night Live wasn’t happening.

There’s actually a pretty simple reason for that.

I fell asleep at 2:00 yesterday afternoon and didn't wake up until 6:30 THIS MORNING. 😳

Apparently, my body had officially had enough.

The last 12 days have been nonstop. Unloading that enormous crate, building the new lean-to, spending two weekends working at the building, getting ready for John’s 65th birthday, cooking and preparing for the party, keeping up with the house, and all the regular life stuff happening in between.

I just kept going.

One project finished, move on to the next thing. One thing checked off, there was another one waiting.

And sometime around 2:00 Sunday afternoon, my body apparently decided it was done negotiating with me. 😂

I didn't plan to miss Sunday Night Live. I didn't decide not to post that I was canceling.

I slept right through all of it.

And after sleeping more than 16 hours, I really thought I'd wake up this morning feeling refreshed, head into my office and finally get back to work.

Nope. 😂

It is Monday morning and I am moving extremely slowly.

So this morning, instead of forcing myself into the office because that's what I planned to do, I'm sitting here looking at these bubbles and realizing that maybe today needs to be a recovery day.

The office will still be there.

The work will still be there.

And apparently, after 12 days of telling myself, just one more thing, my body finally got the last word.

So if you're wondering where I was last night…

I was asleep. Very, very asleep. 😂❤️

Thank you for understanding, Village. I'm here. I'm okay. I'm just realizing that sometimes you don't know how tired you are until you finally stop.
