I just cannot "do" stuff near my throat, but the lightweight (almost see-through) scarf was perfect to add that necessary layer. I've only recently started layering with camisoles and tanks, but do love the look. Your handy tip to turn them around is one I'll try. Thanks! :)<br />I don't know where you will purchase your next round of gift wrap, but Hobby Lobby has very nice paper and if you wait until after Christmas you can get it at a very nice discount. They are large and very good quality paper. I don't use bows at all, but you mentioned curling ribbon, and I have and use that. This year, I found a roll of wide tulle ribbon in the closet, and we used last night, and it was so cute! Easy enough to save and use over, too.<br />Made me smile to read your last line, "I had a wonderful time with family!"

I, also, am dying to know why you put veggies in milk cartons. My guess is that you are going to freeze them and want to keep them from freezer burn? Am I even close? <br /><br />As usual, your pictures of decorations in the last couple of posts are beautiful. They look so Christmasy and cheerful. You have quite a knack for decorating.<br />BeckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-33491766854327686682016-12-12T08:41:07.371-05:002016-12-12T08:41:07.371-05:00I'm with Jennifer from Ohio.

Please.<br /><br />I finished with the wrapping paper box and started rooting through it. What I found were a lot of big boxes and bags that we are unlikely to ever use. So, I'm going to put them in the back of my car and see if I can pass them on to my friends when I see them for activities this week. It's crazy that we are hauling the extra weight up from the basement every year and then back down! <br /><br />I also finished the last of my December bday stuff to send out. Those go to the post office today. Then, I can take my time writing out cards and mail a few every day until I finish.Debby in KShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678580135625880717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-29702902832647641272016-12-11T18:31:14.849-05:002016-12-11T18:31:14.849-05:00Hi Terri, I know that this may be redundant. But I...Hi Terri, I know that this may be redundant. But I cannot say enough about how thankful I am that you take time to write out your week sharing with us the things you do and why. It spurs ideas for me and challenges me. And I find great comfort in reading it. I look forward every Friday to reading it so I was a little nervous when I didn't find it til Sunday :) but I totally understand. It is a very busy season. We do not eat a lot of bread but I too like bakery bread. Have you noticed that a grocery loaf can be on your shelf for month and not get moldy but I always put the bakery loaf in the fridge otherwise it will get moldy to quick. So I would say the bakery loaf is better for us. Merry Christmas blessings to you and your whole family! Jennifer from OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
