Holiday Swap on 2Peas...

Well, I got a message from my 2Peas pal that she received my package on Friday. VERY glad it reached her. She said she loved it all. So I am very happy about that too;) I can now post pics of all the goodies I sent in her box:)...





Then I filled up this cute little bag...


With these goodies...


Added a few last minute things...


This is the tag I made to go along with everything. The white background isn't part of the tag. It's an envelope I put behind it and also the envelope I sent the tag in:)

I used one of my Purple Onion Noteblock stamps I got a short while back. First time I used them:) A bit of Cosmo Cricket Christmas paper; not the new line, the older one...can't remember the name:) Paper Studio lace trim and some felt poinsettias I found at HL in the Christmas crafts. I LOVE these, but I was not able to find anymore...Boo hoo:( Anyho...I also used one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders. One of the Christmas ones. This one has ornaments on it:) It's the burgundy paper. Most of it is covered by the layers.

In other news, today was a pretty laid back day. I got to sleep in some. Didn't have to get up early and rush to make any first showing at the movies. We just took it easy. Had breakfast. Steve did some things outside real quick. Got dressed and ready, then we headed out to do a little Christmas shopping. Went by Best Buy, Target and Old Navy. Went for lunch at Cici's then went to Walmart to meet up with a woman I found on Ebay.

I'd been looking for the Sassfras collections, but they are SO hard to find. Especially all in one place. I hate ordering just one item and then having to pay shipping for just the one thing. Anyway, so as I was looking on Ebay I found one of the collections and noticed the woman was in SA too. So I messaged her about meeting up and saving the shipping and she agreed:) So I met her at the Walmart by Leslie Rd. and got my paper. I also got these really cute matching chipboard shapes. VERY cute:) If anyone else local wants her online store link, LMK and I'll pass it along. Or for anyone who would like to order, I can pass it along also:)

So after that I gassed up at $1.41. It only cost me $17.50!!! This was at that same Walmart. When we came back over by our house to do our grocery shopping at our local Walmart (Bandera/Mainland), it was $1.39!!! So I got my grocery shopping out of the way for the week. There are a few gifts I need to go pick up tomorrow. I couldn't get them today with the kids hovering all over me. It's funny how they will follow so closely when they know we are Christmas shopping as opposed to their usual wandering off that they normally do...sigh...

Very little shopping left to do though. I just need to get these few things tomorrow and Steve just needs to buy a few things for the kids and for his parents and nephew...oh...and ME. Let's not forget me;) and then he's done:)

Today was also some beautiful weather. Hoping for more days just like today. Hope everyone had a nice weekend and have a great Monday:)
