YAY!
I'm hooked.
No lines. No wrestling two, cranky, small people. No traffic. No need to even get dressed (though, I did. No, really, I did. Haha!). No spending way too much time out and about, and then getting dinner started late. What's not to love?
I'm not done but I am pleased with how much I was able to check off the list. Ash's list is almost done. **thrilled**
I love those blogs that list all the great deals going on. I just checked out a couple today and found out some stores are offering free shipping. Eddie Bauer and Lands End have no minimum right now. JCPenney is free after spend $69. Brookstone is free after $35. To name a few.
Wanna see what I got? I'll only share a couple of things I got for the girls, since Tony does randomly read this blog. Sorry about the blurry pics.
For Britt:
Thank you Pottery Barn for having such nice, clear photos! It's Baby's first Christmas, but I decided to just get her a normal stocking. I think it's rather meaningful since Britt's got kitty-cat eyes.
I just love that they are bringing back the vintage Fisher Price stuff! They must have been paying attention to how much people pay for it on Ebay! Heehee!
For Ash:
A mini guitar. She loooooooooooooooves the guitar that one of her teacher's at Signing Time Class plays. Sometimes she's allowed to pluck the strings. I know she's rather young, but maybe this will encourage me to pull my guitar out of storage and show her how it's done. **snort**
I got the white one. I'm kinda wondering if I should have gone with pink. **shrug** Oh well. Ash needs one of these since I'm getting rid of the cheapo table and chair set we've been making do with for a while now. It's taking up too much space.
And I didn't pay for ANY shipping! The girls are getting a lot of musical instruments this year. I didn't mean for that to be the recurring theme. It just happened. I already picked up a little drum for Britt several months ago and then last week I found a bunch of fun little noise making toys to go in stockings. Woohoo! So, tell me. Where are you at with your holiday shopping? Or are you making gifts? I think I will be making some too. I've got a couple ideas. If I actually follow through, I certainly share. :)
