I am heading out to get some Christmas shopping in. I received a $25 Target card in the mail today from Gather, which joined my $55 worth I had in my purse, giving me $80 to shop with! I could wait- I . . .

Last night, I took more photos of the tree all lit up. Some with just the colored lights, some with both. I love how the tree turned out this year. I really do like having a white tree- the colors all . . .

Here are a few quick photos of my finished tree. I'm sure I'll take and post many more in the days to come- last year, it was an obsession! I love how festive and colorful it turned out this year. . . .

I still feel gross today. I woke up with a horrid sore throat from sleeping (when I get sick, I always feel worse in the morning). Anyway, Nick had cleared out the corner where we wanted the tree. It . . .

Earlier this week, Nick cashed in for a $25 Gamestop card at one of his sites that he uses. At another site, he almost has enough for a $20 WII points card. After talking last night, we've decided . . .

Tonight, for $23.92, I was able to buy Christmas gifts for 8 people- or 7 people, rather, plus 1 for me to keep. Artscow is having a sale- all 1 sided ornaments are $1.99, free shipping, and all 2 sided . . .

This sucks! I have been intending to pull the Christmas gift tubs out of the bedroom and begin wrapping for days now, and today is yet another day I won't be able to do it. -sigh-

Back before Halloween, I found a cool strand of 10 lights at Goodwill, which are more likely than not vintage. I would guess they were from the mid to late 70's, but I could be wrong.
The lights . . .

Well, the gifts are unwrapped, the stockings dumped out, and the ham is nestled quietly in a bed of butter, brown sugar, and water in the crock pot.
We opted for a breakfast of bacon, cinnamon rolls, . . .

Well, I did it- I went shopping, and took Hubby with me. In years past, I've had good luck starting at 24 hour places. No waiting in the cold, and I can shop early. We opted to start at Walmart, because . . .

This year, I'm not buying pre-made gifts for adults, at all. Instead, I'll be making things. Last Spring, I found gold & silver metallic paint markers on clearance for $.50 each, so I bought 2 . . .

Last week, I took the kids pictures in front of the tree for Christmas. I am not overly excited at how they turned out. There were a few cute ones, but none that I love enough to want to frame them like . . .
