100.00 holiday update

And here it is the middle of June and another month has past since the last post about the 100.00 holiday challenge.  Not a lot has changed in the month but I do have a few things to add.  I am also thinking about adding another gift to each child's list.  Something they want/or for fun.  Mostly because I found something for Princess at a yard sale and it doesn't fit in any of the other categories.

I buy for:
Squirrel:
Something to read:
Something to wear: I spy quilt - I'm making these, already have most of the supplies and they are more than half done.
Something you need:
Something to share: doll and people house - this will be a group gift.  I hope to find a used bookshelf at a yard sale this summer and decorate it with different colors of paint and wall paper samples to look like different rooms in a house.  The boys love to play with the little people toys we have so this will be great for them and Princess will grow into it over time. UPDATE: I found a bookshelf at a yard sale last weekend for 2.00.  I will switch it out for one we already have that is made of real wood.  I will remake the one we already have into the "doll and people house".
Something you want/for fun:
santa: All about Dvd 2.00

And I will want to make/have assorted gifts on hand for friends at church and what have you.

Now for extra income I had 25.00 in amazon gift cards saved up but I'm going to use them for Princess' birthday gift this coming month.  I will have one 5.00 card still saved up after that and should be able to save up another five 5.00 giftcards before crunch time in November.  Which should still give me another 30.00 in giftcards.  So my outside income looks like this:

Amazon gift cards: estimated 30.00
Inboxdollars: currently 17.82 - I need a 30.00 earned balance in order to cash out so that's what I'm aiming for.
Mturks on amazon - a new thing I'm trying.  We'll see where it goes and I'll update more about it next month. 

Edit: I completely forgot to re-link to the site where I first got the idea for the 100.00 holidays so let me do that now.  The Saved Quarter she has tons of other fantastic posts on her blog too.
