Taking Names and Spending Money




I am finishing up my Preliminary Christmas Shopping this weekend.
What, you ask, is Preliminary Christmas Shopping?
Well, it's the shopping that has to get done so that the
In-Season Christmas Shopping is less stressful
(because just finding a parking space is hard enough!)
and shopping that must be done
so we're not worried if our gifts have made their
Pacific Ocean flight safely and in time.

Basically it's everything
except stocking stuffers.

Now don't go and think I'm all prepared.
I have set this deadline because
I have hit my limit of
brain-cell loss due to Christmas stress.

And like many deadlines, this one
snuck up behind me and yelled
"Boo!"
To which I promptly jumped up and went internet shopping.

These are some of the goodies I've found:


RobotCandy on Etsy.
I instantly fell in love with their tile coasters.



She has the most darling necklaces!




Wonderful vintage feel with a cute twist.
I love this one:







I got Dana some Mommy Calling Cards here last year.
I think I may have to get the girls olliegraphic name prints this year.

  1. Hello---

    I stumbled on your blog through Little Pumpkin Grace's blog and I am absolutely loving pouring over it all! The only bad thing is I'm not getting any housework done!

    I love all your craft ideas and it's got the wheels turning in my head...

    AND thanks for sharing about these Southern Brand t-shirts, they are just too cute!

    Have a good day and thanks for sharing a bit of your life...
