Christmas 2006

Bath and Body Works is having their yearly sale and I did good.  I purchased a total of 12 gifts for under $30.  Several of the gifts were large lotions I got at 75% off and I will "wrap" them in wine bottle gift bags and tissue paper.  I have already assigned all but 3 of the gifts.  Those 3 I plan to use as "emergency gifts" that I may need  - they were regular $11.  I did not buy anything that was not 75% off :)

I am more than 75% of the way to having my Christmas shopping done for this year!!!

Well last night I went shopping - from my home - in a catalog - and purchased a hand-made basket that is a card file basket to use for my cards that are part of the Christmas Organizing system.  I sell the baskets so it is fun to look through the book and find baskets I can use in my Christmas Organizing.

I picked up 4 more gifts this past week - 4 blankets - they were regularly priced at $20 and I got them for $5 each!  This goes right along with my gift theme of "Warmth" 

Once I decide exactly who gets these I will do some embordory on them. 

Now I am waiting on scarves and gloves to on sale :)

I am finding out people I know personally are actually reading my blog :) (which is a good thing) because I had someone say "I am not on your Christmas list" and I had to explain that not everyone on my list is on here - I will be adding to it all the time :)

The one thing I cannot do though is to add what I am getting each person - I may tell about gifts in general without telling who they are for  :)

I am actally thinking of doing a numbering system so I can keep everyone straight.

Every year I try to find a post it note pad with a cute saying on it.  I normally put this in our stockings.  This year I found one for me!  The saying is (and I am sure many of you already know it but I had not seen it before): 

STRESSED
(is just desserts spelled backwards)

I am going to try to remember this during the Christmas season!
