My husband just does not it!!!

Men drive me nuts. Maybe it is just my husband, but he doesn't understand why I want to make the Christmas gifts. Or try and do it under $50. He decided to take my list divide it by $50 and that is what he would spend on my gift. PITA. I will just work twice as hard to prove him wrong. He did come up with an idea to help me. He wants me to put together picture books of his family and under the photo of each member their birthday address and phone number. Pretty cute. and not really that hard or expensive if you do it the right way because it will cover most of his family. but we will see more to foll0w I'll keep you posted.

Okay I have my fifty bucks

My friend had a garage sale this weekend and I took some of my stuff over. I ended up bringing home just over $50. Perfect huh. Okay I know it would have been easier to have more money but since the challenge was for under $50 it worked out pretty perfectly. I was wondering how I was going to afford Christmas this year. LOL. My husband is a little skeptical. he knows I can make the things and he knows I have enough stuff to not even have to go out and buy much unless it is just to match something. BUT he is one who never values a handmade item that cost 1.00 to make verses a store bought item that still only cost $1 to make but you had to spend $20 to buy so I guess I will have to prove him wrong.

Just starting

Okay this is the first time I have really done a blog. I am starting this because I was chosen as one of the Thrifty Fifty from YCMT. If you haven't heard of it you can go to http://www.youcanmakethis.com/ or click on the button below and check out their blog for more info. Basically I am going to be making my Christmas gifts for under $50 this holiday season. I will have to be creative and resourceful. I have a ton of supplies so I will be okay there it will just be trying to match a gift up with each person. I have Titled my blog Autumn's Alley because I figured this challenge should be right up my alley.
