I actually prefer specific wish lists you know the person wants what they are getting.Quote:

Venuila, is that your kitty in your avi? Every time I see it, it reminds me of my Oreo (passed away in June). My Oreo was more white than your kitty, but has a similar look.
Here he is:
Awww beautiful. :hug: Yes, that's my kitty in the pic, her name is Oreo too!
Your Oreo is very pretty. She looks really sweet. Although mine was a male, everyone seemed to think he was a girl. I think it's cause he was so darn fluffy.Quote:

Yeah, she's pretty sweet I guess, LoL! She's not NOT sweet but she's not very cuddly and stuff...only when I was pregnant did she come sit on my lap. Sometimes she comes and headbutts me when I am going to bed but for the most part she keeps to herself, lol. DS LOVES to chase her though and try and sit on her and stuff lmao...which she doesn't seem to mind :shrug: She doesn't even run away from him...they are both pretty gentle with each other so I guess they enjoy it, lol.Quote:

It came in a large shoe box that provided them with hours of entertainment last night (I am mean and took it off them because they were fighting over it this morning), it has an attached lid so Quincy was sitting in it and jumping up and smacking Izzy as she walked by... which she fell for every time.Quote:

Not planning on any Black Friday shopping this year.
Last year we bought our fridge during Black Friday sales. This year, we took advantage of the Sears Black Friday Canadian Edition sale back in October to buy our new range and dishwasher. With the kitchen renos we have been doing, not looking to buy more stuff right now.
Am pretty much done my Christmas shopping - I need to buy some gift cards for my step-daughters to add to the other stuff have already bought for them. Dh needs to go get a few things for his two grandchildren (2 years and 2 months), so we can mail the big package off to his oldest daughter next week as we won't see her over the holidays. I finished my shopping for dh and for his son-in-law in early September, taking advantage of some of the big SDM redemptions, which is fabulous for the gift budget. :)
No shopping for me, I don't need more stuff and I have to work
Did Red Thursday shopping today at Canadian Tire. Got a Debbie Travis storage ottoman for $64 (reg $150) for our family room, folding chairs $6 (regular $10) and an Elmo play tent for DD $15 (reg $30).
Not the best of savings but these were items we were planning to get anyways ;)
Tomorrow we will try the Black Friday sales at Walmart, etc.
Great packages so far :)
can't believe how quiet this thread was all weekend. i kept logging in to see that nothing had changed....lol
Oh I thought all packages had arrived it was so quiet
still waiting on one - should be today thoooo!
A few people still need some posts to meet the requirements so let's get chattin ladies ;)
Does anyone have any good christmas cookie recipes they would recommend? DH doesn't like the sugar cookie type (I know, crazy right?) so am hoping for something a little different. :-)
Picking up my $210 Redemption on Sunday, I also had a chance to pick up my package from the Post Office! It's here, yay!
After opening the box, I was impressed with the meticulous wrapping job....

I ripped into the package like it was going out of style. Here is a picture of all of the goodness, wow I got spoiled, Thanks SHAW!

I will post the text of all the content soon!
Sorry for the delay, we have been having so much fun with Grandma > sewing, crafting and playing! And picking away at our large shopping pile from our City trip, we're a little behind on regular items.
He doesn't like sugar cookies (neither do I, so I get that), but does he like shortbread type cookies? One of my family's long-standing must-haves for Christmas cookies are walnut crescents, which are really a variation on a shortbread. Everyone loves these (except for dh, who is allergic to tree nuts).Quote:

If either of these sound interesting to you, let me know and I will post recipes here.
Great ideas! Would love the recipes, thanks! :-)
