    Holiday Gift$ and a Happy Budget

    I LOVE the holidays! From Halloween through New Year's Day I am happily decorating, redecorating, baking, gift-making, and happy, happy, happy...except for the hit my wallet takes :(

    This week's show was about creating a Fabulou$ Chri$tma$ on a Military Budget. My panel was out of control with their many ideas and resources - and it showed! We talked over each other as one idea fueled another...and we're all inspired with new ideas for gift-making, gift giving and decorating.

    As you listen to the show you'll hear many resources and links offered. You'll find these listed below for your convenience. The recipes offered on the show will be published in my November eNewsletter. If you are not a subscriber just drop an email to navyhomefronttalk@homefrontinfocus.com. Please put "subscription" in the subject line.

    The ladies of the panel and I hope you'll enjoy these ideas and that you'll share some of your own on this blog. Don't forget to rate the show and leave your critique (good and bad), we love the feedback!

    Most of all, happy gift-making and have a safe and Happy Halloween...  "BOO"
