It is usually around this time of year when the stores seem to skip right over Halloween and Thanksgiving to put up Christmas trees and stock. Which is to say that this is when I'm generally rolling my eyes a lot. But this year? It's somehow different. I'm trying to get a head start on Christmas presents this year because I'm afraid with everything else going on this year I won't be able to finish everything otherwise.
The checkout ladies at JoAnn Fabrics look at me like I'm crazy when I hand them a coupon for my single $1 item, but every little bit of savings means I can stretch our Christmas budget even further. So I'm going to take full advantage of their coupon commotion promotion this week to get the last (hopefully) of the supplies for all our presents this year.
A few weekends ago Beth, Sara and I talked about reinstating Crafternoon where we get together at each other's homes and spend the afternoon making things and chatting. Beth has already scheduled the first one for next Sunday at her place and I can't wait! I only hope I have a portable project ready to take with me, and that Richard won't mind me leaving him behind at home.
