Nobody from my family reads my blog, so I'm not giving away any secrets. I purchased some wonderful books that I enjoyed this year for people that have called me "an excellent book-chooser", which was lots of fun. I've admired the clear antique kitchen glass panel above for years and finally just decided it was a perfect gift. I wouldn't have minded it for myself, but it did feel great to purchase it as a gift for two dearly-loved family members.
I still have oodles of hats that I'd like to knit, a visit to the liquor store, and I've only gotten a few things for Ryan and Justin so far, but being 75% done with Christmas shopping made it a pretty darn good weekend. I hope your weekend was equally enjoyable and productive!
I am jealous -- I still have yet to do any Channukah shopping! At least it's on the later side this year.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's EXCELLENT, Bonny! I'll bet that feels WAY better than a clean refrigerator! (And that glass panel is divine!) XO
ReplyDeleteOh, that's such a good feeling, isn't it? It means a lot less stress for the rest of the holiday season. Here's hoping you get completely through before Thanksgiving! I am going to have a rather busy week since the house painters called last night and said they were coming today. OH NO! LOL
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive percentage! Go you! (I am in the 25% category....sigh) but maybe this week I will get that number moved up a bit!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteYou are way ahead of me, but I plan on doing some Amazon shopping this week. That glass panel is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even started on Thanksgiving prep, but I enjoy that a lot more than shopping! I also think that glass panel is lovely and original. I was happy that it hadn't already sold.
Deleteyou are on fire!! I have everyone done except my immediate family (but that will happen next week!)
ReplyDeleteI haven't even made a list let alone started to shop! Kudos to you! Wanna come come do mine?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your knitting, now!
Cheers~
That glass window is so beautiful! I'm glad it is going to someone who will love it. We have a stained glass panel over our front door (made by a friend) and we cherish it. Your gift will surely be cherished, too!
ReplyDeleteWow you are way ahead ! MY family rarely reads my blog ....im kind of hurt about it, but oh well. I m over it now!
ReplyDeleteI think only two people in my family even know about my blog and they aren't interested in reading it, so you've got company!
Deletewow and YAY YOU! I am sure you're going to enjoy December a lot more with all that shopping out of the way.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...Christmas shopping! I think this will be one of those...holy crap it's two weeks away years. We'll see! And it will be just fine no matter what. Congrats on getting things done!
ReplyDeleteI've been shopping, but I really need to take some time to assess the situation!! I might be done... but I'm not sure!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one cool window!! I'm so glad you were able to give it to someone special.
Hooray for all that shopping completed. I plan to keep it simple this year but that is what I say every year. I have picked out a few books but I need to get moving.
