Today, I feel the stress of the challenge.
Today, I’ve been scouting Google for Frugal, Handmade Christmas Gift Ideas. There is sooooo many good ones out there to make and I want to get started.
The problem, I have $45 to name until Friday. And $20 of that is for my gas tank. And $25 of that is for DH’s gas tank.
Hmph.
Guess I will just have to read a good book
until this weekend.

Check your local Parks and Rec schedule. A lot of parks have a lot of events involving everything from sports to local free concerts. Check out your local newspapers online events calendar too…
Good luck!!!

Thanks for the tips, Dave.
