Lurking…

Really miss doing this and miss being on SC with all you!! Wayyy too busy with my boys these days tho! I'm glad I have a few of you to follow on my Facebook though!

Anyways, enjoy this train! I really want one of those Starbucks Advent calendars after lurking here! But I did see that there's the cheaper version at Costco…and there is an expensive ($44.95) version on the Starbucks page with chocolates, reusable ornaments, and a $5 gift card in that one!

I have a question to add.

Do you and or your children like to make crafts? If so is there anything you would like for crafting?


I make a ton of things, I am always looking for chalk paint and clear wax (love the stuff from michaels), stencils, crafting magazines, paint brushes and just about anything else. I will find a use for it haha.

We do like to craft but don't do it often. Always looking for crayons, pencil crayons, easy craft kits, etc.

Buddy, do you have a wax melter/warmer. If so, are you looking for melts? Which scents do you like?

I love baked goods and fruity scents for my melter.

I don't have one but would love one. I love anything cinnamon or vanilla scented

As the 13th is our gag gift day what type of gift would you be ok with adult or more geared toward children?

For me would be ok with adult

I'm ok with something R (or X lol) rated haha

[sheetsofemptycanvas]

What a long day at work... our company has moved to a more difficult client base (I'm a PSW and I do homecare) so we deal with a lot more people with dementia and Alzheimers Most days I have enough patience to deal with it but others (like today) it just makes me want to scream!!!!

[sheetsofemptycanvas]

Buddy- If you have children, what sizes do they wear?

#2- Are there any Christmas movies/shows/specials that you don't have on DVD that you're looking for?

My answers: DS#1 wears size 14-16 (large) and DS#2 wears a 7-8 (medium)
Christmas movies- I have most of them but I've been looking for the un-edited version of The Muppets Christmas (not the Christmas Carol one).

[julesie-pie]

Do you want any samples that came out this yr?

ummmm I not really 100% sure which samples came out this year specifically, but I had a list of samples that I would be interested in on my wishlist

Okay, I got a few questions:

1) do you have long or short hair?
2) when is your birthday?
3) do you mind or like DIYs?

Btw buddy, besides the Advent Calendar from David's Tea, I saw a tea tumbler with infuser... I don't think I had David's Tea as GC but I certainly don't mind

1) long hair, but I don't really do much with it
2) February 14th
3) depends what it is

I use glitter on my nails, drives him nuts. Goes to work on a jobsite and someone points out that he has pink glitter somewhere LOL

LOL

[army_girl29]

Just had the last of my Popeye's for lunch! I am at work by the way. Not too busy here but I do have some training later today.

I LOVE MICHAELS! They have the best scrapbooking, DIY, etc. in stuff. I am thinking I know what I am doing for my buddy. It is going to be hard to not buy and put together too early.

I do plan on starting my decor on the 12th or 13th. I have soo much x-mas to go through. I always buy too much, I think I bought a ton at 90% off at Target last year.

[julesie-pie]

So I had a very successful shop this morning, though I was a little disappointed that there wasn't too much Christmas stuff out in the stores yet, so will have to go back out a few more Christmas items in a week or so. I'm about 90% done my buddy's package! Now before you all freak out, it's only because I want my buddy to have an awesome package & I don't know when the baby will arrive & don't want to run out of time at the end if she is late or there are any complications (I'm hoping no) etc. I'm still on the hunt for my buddy's most wanted item(s) & I'm sure I will see other must-haves & my buddy will end up with A & B gifts

[army_girl29]

I love A&B gifts! I love having tons to open!!! Super excited!

This is the barbie Advent -
