CrazyCat - stick around - I'm sure this thread will motivate you as much as it does us!!

Jean - looking forward to your pictures!!

I ran out of raw materials to finish my ornaments for the basic exchange so will be picking up some more today. Okay, the truth is that I have not run out, but DH has totally blocked my craft room with boxes from our rental space so I have to buy more since I cannot move the boxes myself. TMI I know!!

I finished the shopping for the kids yesterday!!! Whoo-hoo! If I had any idea what to get dh, I would have gotten that, too. However, he's the hardest person to shop for EVER!

Way to go Amy! I haven't done anything yet today as I had to take DFIL to an appointment.....4 hours later I just got home and hope to do at least one thing!

The only thing I had time for today was to work on a knitted hat for DS. I hope everyone else has done better than me today!

Today I finished the scrapbook for my sister that I started a few days ago. I pulled out a few lights and decorations and went over them, that's all for me today!

**Debbie-cat** · 10-29-2010, 09:36 PM

Congrats on finishing the scrapbook mamachop! I should look at my lights tomorrow and put them up soon before we get too much more snow! Thanks for the reminder!

Thank you! It seems strange to be looking at Christmas lights this early, but if I don't do it, I don't know when my husband will get to it.

WM is out of the yarn I want so I had to settle for a different type of yarn in the correct color. Also picked up some of the green florist tape to make Poinsetta pens for work. Found some macadamia chocolates with a Willie K Christmas CD that I'm going to put in the next box for DD.

Oh- and I picked up several Christmas books at my favorite bookstore for $5 I bought a lot of entertainment for me and gifts for others!! Is it wrong to read the books before I gift them? How would you feel if you received a preread book?

**Debbie-cat** · 10-29-2010, 09:58 PM

It wouldn't bother me at all MM to receive a pre-read book at all! You good some great items today.

I went shopping today for the ornament exchange. I loved looking at all the Christmas stuff in the store, but the family rushed me. *grumble.

But I finished all my ornaments tonight.

**Debbie-cat** · 10-29-2010, 10:16 PM

I love looking at Christmas things too palooka and I don't even have to buy anything!

Toomorrow I plan on hitting the stores looking for hidden deals for a few more gifts.

**mauimagic** · 10-30-2010, 01:51 AM

I'm working on my ornaments for the exchange and will finish the main part of at least 2 - hopefully more!! Then I get to decorate them.

Palooka I'm really impressed that you've finished your ornaments already!!

How's everyone else doing?

**Palooka** · 10-30-2010, 02:13 AM

I was going to stop at 10 but I just had to keep going until I finished them.

It's how my brain works. heh Can't wait to see everyone's!

DC, I need to go back to that store to window shop some more and leave the family at home.
