Short and Sweet!

Since I’m finishing up my gift jars this evening, and trying to get ready for the last day of school tomorrow, I’m making this post short and sweet. The holiday rush is making me cranky! At last, my husband and I made it to Walmart, not my favorite store, and finished up our gifts for our niece and nephew. We ended up going a little bit over our budget by about $60, but that’s not bad considering we have a total of 12 people to shop for. Our total Christmas figure isn’t completely in yet, but it’s hovering around $460 (I originally had budgeted $400). The one thing I am thankful for, however, is that none of this year’s gifts will be on credit and we won’t be paying for them come July! We did have to purchase wrapping paper since both gifts for my niece and nephew are on the large size and won’t fit in canvas bags, and I don’t have enough newsprint to wrap them in. At least my gift jars come in reusable containers, mason jars. So, I can’t beat myself up too badly!

I’ll be able to think more clearly within the next couple of days and actually post an intelligent article! More to come…
