I have been out of school this week for our annual fall break.  Each year, I use this week to get a head start on all of my holiday planning.  For example, this year, I have made all of my Halloween cards and one sample of my Thanksgiving and Christmas cards.  For me, the hardest part about my holiday cards is getting all of my ideas to work cohesively, so by doing a template, all I have to do is crank more out as the time draws near to send them.  I have also used this week to do some holiday shopping.  I was at our local Michael's store, and to my suprise, their ENTIRE dollar aisle was 50% off.  SO...I bought all of my cousins' children's gifts as well as some of my sister's presents...for $22!!  That is 8 people that I can mark off my list!  I also found JanSport tote bags for my two best friends for $2.95 each at a local closeout store.  AND...I found oh-so-cute gift wrap at the Dollar Tree.  I am THRILLED that I have found so much in so little time!
