Shine for the Holidays

Oh, I know what you mean Jennyboots! I bought a new tree last year on clearance and a few other items and I cannot wait to get them out! :)

Oh I can't wait to get started ... I bough a bunch of things clearance after last Christmas so they are going to new to me all over since I have not seen them since December!

Well said, Hellen-NotofTroy! My hubby is always asking, why I am already working on Christmas crafts or looking for presents. He has no clue! lol

I think it's hard for people that aren't responsible for the Christmas stuff to know how much work really goes into it.

Hubby can't believe that I am already working on Christmas crafts! That is ok, I will be ready when time comes :)

Getting started early, Pia. I love it!

Oh, same for me, Helen! Just yesterday I bought two little houses for my village that I now need to paint :x

I love wandering through Michael's just to get decorating ideas. I know they already have some Christmas stuff out and it's definitely getting me in the mood.

Yes, they do and I also love Michaels for Christmas decor!

Lowes generally has some good holiday items, too.
