Sorry again no photos for this post.
Today J and I did a bit of tree trimming shopping. I always need to buy candy canes for the tree. This year I purchased three boxes. After we take down the tree J shares the candy canes with his co-workers.
I needed to purchase some beaded garland for the tree. I have some miss-matched stuff from years prior. Think the red beads from a Lobsterita...yeah I used to drink those. Hey that lobster makes a cute ornament in a pinch. Though I do love the fluffy garland it just doesn't hold up to packing and re-packing and all those military moves. This year I decided to purchase three 12 foot strands of aurora borelais plastic beads.
I even broke down and purchased two ornaments for the tree. Still haven't talked J into a tree topper and we've been married 7 years. He just can't find the one that he likes. I end up putting up the one I have which is a star or the homemade angel I made.
Must not forget that I bought two more skeins of yarn. I really need help I'm so addicted to yarn.
I couldn't find the wire framing for an Advent Wreath. I was hoping the local craft stores would have it with the taper holders built in but no such luck. I'll have to purchase one online I guess. I think I spotted one for about $5.00.
Finally got the ink cartridges refilled. Unfortunately they failed the store test prints which means they aren't going to be good for the photos I wanted to print out. I'll have to buy new cartridges though this is their first refill. The place was nice enough to not charge me too.
I am so not ready for Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteHoping you get into it when and if you get some snow.
DeleteI bought a Vhristmas ornament today, too. It is a pickle. I have wanted one for awhile but closer to Christmas I can't ever find one I like. Today I was at the mall and the Christmas store is open..land they had one I liked. I didn't tell my husband yet....I am going to hide it and see if he notices it on the tree (since we don't have kids to challenge to find it on the tree)
ReplyDeleteI bought my first pickle ornament in Germany but it got broken and I was gifted a pickle ornament by a family member a few years back to replace it. I still put it on the tree each year. Maybe some year I'll have a kinder or two to hunt for it.
DeleteI love buying Christmas stuff :) My husband hates it though, he hates dragging the boxes down from the attic. I don't know he's complaining about though, I usually put them all up by myself :P Except the tree... that's a family tradition.
ReplyDeleteIt took us awhile to agree on a topper, but not 7 years... wow!
He just told me that if I want a tree topper I should go out and buy one. Not fun. I want to pick one out together so that we make memories of when we bought it reminding us when we put it up each year.
DeleteTree trimming shopping!! OOOO how much fun! Way to get in to the holiday spirit!
