I also don't have any gifts to wrap yet, but I do hope to join in somehow. I might just have to do some gift planning. I can't wait to join in properly this year. Last year money was an obstacle, but things should be a little better this year allowing me to get gifts in earyl :)

1st PAR-TAY this Sunday!

Can't believe they're here. It always seems so far away when I first schedule them in January. And now the first one is here!

I can't wait for the party! I have several things to wrap and it will be a good opportunity to go through my gift closet too. I have tried to keep up with what I have added but I'm not sure. Plus I love to go through the gifts! I need to concentrate on stocking stuffers, buying and wrapping!!

Hahaha, I actually UNWRAPPED a Christmas present today. I bought this gift over a year ago for my middle son and we ended up drawing names that year and neither DH nor I pulled his name. Today is his birthday so guess what he's getting. LOL I really already gave him his gift but they decided to have a party for him this afternoon and this way I'll still have something to give him.

I started to go shopping this morning but I knew if I left this house then nothing would get done so I'm grounded for most of the day. This afternoon DH and I are going to pick up the labs each a new collar for our Christmas pictures. We can't wait to take them with the pups.

I love beautifully wrapped gifts. One of my daughter in laws use to spend alot of time and care in wrapping her presents. They were always so beautiful that no one wanted to mess them up. LOL So today while your wrappying keep in mind that people do notice and put alot of love in it.

I have sorted through the boxes that I store the stocking fillers in. I have quite a lot to wrap so that makes me happy.
I have to grab a few more things as it gets closer to Christmas so I am writing a list as i go and I will make sure to check it twice LOL

You're one step ahead of me last year. I shopped, wrapped, shopped, wrapped and just knew I had everything covered..........................right up until 1 hour before our family get together when I put all of the stockings out and realized I'd left one person out. I had to put cash in the stocking and felt like such a terrible person when everyone else got wrapped gifts.

Keep up the great work everyone!

I wasn't able to wrap this time. I dented the back of my car pulling it out of the driveway when I was taking my DS to the train station. Not a big deal because it wasn't an actual accident, but I wasn't in the mood to wrap. It's covered by insurance so all will be good. Just a big inconvenience!! Maybe I'll get a chance to wrap later this week since everything is already out.
