Nope... its school holidays here and Sunday... and we are about to head to the casino for their fabulous buffet lunch... and its rainy...and I can't get rid of Luke....
I TRIED... I suggested that he may want to go to the beach earlier.... the water is still cold... but I told him that maybe a swim in the salt water would be good for clearing his chest..... NOPE! He took one look at the rain pouring down,, the big waves rolling in... the warm heated pool in our backyard and said...

"Are you trying to get me to go away for a while???" My reply, "No of course not darling!"
This child has a 6th sense of knowing when I want him to go away....

I won't be wrapping either as we are back from the weekend with our friends and I have tons of things to do. However, I am getting ready slowly... got most boxes for the gifts.

I have wrapped all the stocking fillers. I have a date of November 1st for my mum and I to wrap the gifts here. Looking forward to getting it done early so I can concentrate on other things

I've been on this site for years and not done this. I usually book out the first two weeks of Dec to finish things up -- often because I get the lists at Thanksgiving and have to return/exchange some items. THIS YEAR I'm going to try this. I've put them in my calendar for Friday prior to each weekend as that is the time I have when the kids are in school.

I haven't wrapped a thing yet either!!! :eek:

BUT, I did pull out all my wrapping supplies and get things set up in my normal crafting space upstairs. I even picked up a mega package of white tissue paper at Sam's Club today. I think I should buy some more tape, but I have enough to get started.

I've also got quite the STACK of empty boxes that I've saved over the last year - of all shapes and sizes - I just find it easier to wrap things in a box instead of wrapping odd shapes.

I'm going to have to shoot for Nov 11th too, we're camping over Halloween weekend!

I do not have anything wrapped either. I will wrap the gifts that need to be shipped in Nov but I usually wait until Dec to the bulk of my wrapping. I just love wrapping with the christmas tree on and either christmas music playing or a Christmas movie on TV. The kids stuff gets wrapped a few days before Christmas when I start my Christmas vacation while the kids are at school.

I wrapped some gifts today. Mostly items for the grandson. Big items, of course.

I ordered four gifts from Amazon on Thursday. I wrapped them today. Love their fast delivery. I'd be glad to try out the drone delivery if it came to our area. lol

The living room is getting a little crowded with the gifts I've wrapped. Once I put ornaments on the tree I'll put them around the tree.

I haven't been able to wrap on any of the dates we have chosen, but I plan to wrap some in the evenings this week after I get of work since I finally have some gifts to wrap.

I haven't either. I do find the dates helpful as reminders to wrap whatever I do have. I usually forget about the wrapping until December. This year I'm lucking out with gift ideas and early purchasing. Today I finished wrapping all the gifts that have been bought so far.

I will. I have some things sitting in my bedroom that need wrapping. Then I need to work on the embellishments.

Me! Me! I have more gifts to wrap. They are sorted and organized in the bedroom for now. :eek: It's enough of an incentive to get it done this weekend.
