A Few of my favorite things... Wink! Wink!

So, Christmas is coming and there's only 57 days left to get your shopping on!

I am now realizing that the sooner one starts their shopping, the easier it is to absorb into the budget, plus it's less work that needs to be done at the last minute..

Here's some of the things on my Christmas list this year.. Maybe they'll be on yours too!?

- Perl Ex powders... Jill has made her own Glimmer Mist from them, and they look even better than the store bought ones, because you can control color volumne, etc... However, the only way to buy these powders is with a coupon, otherwise they can get pricey!

- There's some fun new chipboard sets at Joann's.. Tattered Angels.. some are victorian, some are vintage, but they all rock! (Again, whip out the coupons for these, which can be found online) OR you can NEVER go wrong with a Gift Card for Joann's...

- Frilly vintagy aprons are a must for the light cooks, or die hard cooks, in your house.. Unless the hubby cooks, then I don't think he'd appreciate wearing a ruffle apron.. I found some great handmade ones on ebay that even cater to the plus size figure! Plus they're not too expensive!

- Some new paper stacks... DCWV actually has some nice stacks out now, that have gotten my attention... They're more distressed looking with better patterns and better sheens.. It's exciting!

- Martha Stewart Glitter, including the foil looking ones.. Jill has made me jeolous! (JERK!) Michaels carriers her stuff, and they do have coupons..

Have I mentioned coupons enough?? If you always use a coupon, more stuff can be bought!!

- a non-zip hoody would rawk the wardrobe.. A nice "Save the Tattas" one perhaps? Torrid has some fun ones, plus they're meant to make the big and beefy gals look whistle-worthy.. Maybe throw in a thong to wear while sporting the hoody, and the men might go crazy-wild!

- iTunes gift cards are a necessity for anyone with an iPod... There's some great music out there, might as well be in your purse... LOL

- Slice Design Cards - Ok, I have a card holder that is screaming to be filled!! There's one that's all fonts, maybe MIXED UP..or something like it... yep.. liking that, plus the embossing tips...

- Jammies from Lane Bryant... Although, I wish they weren't so dang expensive! Has LB gone designer or are they made of gold?? Seriously, WTF?! Anyways, I do like jammies, so they're on my list..

- A hotel stay for a night... maybe two, to scrap with your bff on the $5 Ebay table, away from tiny fingers... We can set up the webcams.. watch the kids like a thriller movie, without the sense that they can attack the stacks of papers at any time... Heck, as long as the hotel isn't near the South Side, yo, I'm cool with cheap!

Lastley, but not leastley...


- Ink refils for my HP A826 printer.. Officemax has the reconditioned ones for only $19, so save some bucks and buy green! Sometimes they have those brown bags in the paper where you can stuff it full and save %'s off the contents... Good time to get the refills! and photo paper, kodak brand is ok wid' me!

So, there you have it... My Christmas list is mostly scrapbooking.. big surprise!!

Remember... Start your holiday shopping early, use LOTS of coupons, and everyone will be happy little beavers! LOL

Enjoy your day, as if it's Friday at 5:01 pm!
