Waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

I am catching up my email while the tallow melts. Today is the day I make soap (no matter how slow the tallow  melts) for my Christmas baskets. I've already made the other stuff that goes in the baskets. Because it's only three weeks till Christmas, I've chosen a recipe that sets up quickly.

I'm spending a bit on Christmas and extra dog food, so I have to make my allowance stretch until next Friday. So I'm going for three no-spending and no driving days in the next seven days.

We saw a wonderful concert last night! Time for Three are a string trio that are so totally different! I was expecting Baroque, but we got everything else. And I have never seen or heard such fast fiddling! We get the concert tickets every year in exchange for my writing critiques for each concert to put in the local newspaper. We could never afford them any other way.

Monday is my day to apply for Social Security. I am so excited! I've been waiting to get disability for many years, because I really can't earn a living due to a long list of illnesses.

I recycle my Christmas Cards.If they are post card size or bigger and smooth.some are embossed and bumpy,dont use these.
As long as the sender did not write on the "back "of the"Front" cut the front off.I write on the "back" of the "Front as if it were a post card.
I send out these"Christmas post cards"
Then i get more "Christmas " cards when they go on sale.
The last thing i do is buy blank cards.
Cut out trees ,snowmen,Santas etc from cards you recieved and make your own Christmas cards.
I have a lot of fun saving money.
This year i bought boxs of cards for .50 yes fifty cents a box!!!Gotta love it!!!
