Well... I thought I'd take some time out while Tim is at school and try to finish off the xmas shopping. This morning I had 5 of my nephews still to buy for and my Kris Kringle (something the adults do in our family, we each pull out a name and buy something for them so it's not so expensive buying for EVERYONE). So, thinking that I had a good 4 hours to myself, I hit the shops!!!
So, now that I am home, I STILL have 3 nephews to buy for and of course, my Kris Kringle!!! What did I do in all that time??? Well, I spent a little on myself.... here's what I bought...
A xmas scrapbook kit which includes:
6 x 12x12 1 sided papers
4 x 12x12 2 sided papers
2 x sticker sheets
18 Die-cut shapes, frames and borders.
A themed Sport Scrapbook kit which includes:
6 strips of fancy borders
3 x sticker sheets (106 sport stickers)
1 x photo shape template (6 different shapes)
5 x 12x12 pattered papers
4 x 12x12 2 sided coloured papers
1 x white 12x12 sheet (This kit will be perfect for scrapping the photos from DH's acheivements at the Masters Games in Oct).
7 x Packets of handmade xmas stickers, some of which are 3D, just beautiful for cards or candles or scrapping!!
2 x packets of metallic paper, each containing 6 different colours.
5 x assorted size plain candles, which I'm going to decorate with some of the xmas stickers and ribbons etc... I think they'll make really nice gifts.
And the non-scrap related stuff?? Well, I got a stocking for Tim to hang for Santa, and I bought 2 of my nephews a nice shirt each for xmas.
All in all, I'd say I had a productive outing, and I know I was a little selfish buying for myself like that, but when you think about it, all of the things I bought will be put to use in making gifts for other people anyhow. So, I'm not really THAT selfish!!! hehehe!
Anyone else relate to my shopping experience?
luv Cec...xxx
