Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
I'm done! All wrapped up too and that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI have gifts for the three friends (outside of family) that I buy for. I need to wrap them, and I need to find a birthday present for one of them (her bday is the 21st). I haven't started family shopping yet, but I won't have a whole lot to buy. I need to get on it, but I will probably wait until early December.
ReplyDeleteThis is the earliest I've had most of mine done. I bought some stuff in the summer, so that's been ready to go. I have a friend who's birthday is two days before Christmas so I have a little extra to buy for her. I'd say I'm about 85% done (I have a few more things to get for the hubs, which I'm ordering this week) and just have to wrap. My goal is to be done before vacation so I can look at the pretty packages and sing with glee that all my wrapping paper is put away. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe just got our names from my husband's side of the family (we draw names). I know I want to get my mother in law a tea set, but holy $$
ReplyDeleteI host afternoon teas and I get all of my stuff from this place: https://www.englishteastore.com/teasets.html I hope they have a set you might like for her at a reasonable price!
DeleteThank you so much!
DeleteHaven't even started and have no clue what I am buying this year. So not ready for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBoth my partner and I have started our shopping. He mostly just buys for his son, it is our year to be Santa, and the name he draws from his extended family. I've started my shopping for his son and my mother. I just set my holiday present budget, received my nieces' wish lists, and I'm still waiting on my mum's wish list. Now I'll wait and start looking for sales and for Giving Tuesday (I make a donation in my father & step-mother's name as their present). I probably won't be 100% finished until the week before Christmas. There are always last minute stocking stuffers to pick up.
ReplyDeleteOur family started drawing names and that hasn't been done yet so I haven't bought anything aside from the yarn I'm using to make gifts for my niece and nephew. I'm behind on making doughs too but hoping to work on that this weekend.
