Christmas shopping

Bill, like Candyce, I, too, like handmade gifts. Shows me that a lot of thought went into the gift. My sister Wanda in Texas once made shadow boxes with little fossilized things that she found on her property. They came out really nice.

wow did I hit an early deal... ACMoore had the christmas houses 50 percent off .... Randy sets up a village every year.. he is going to be thrilled to see he has a few more... I am shocked that it's not even thanksgiving and seeing a deal like that

here is last years set up.... although since we had the wood stove put in the fireplace... we can't set it up there any more.. way too hot.... we will have to think of something else

Nice Allison, we set up our village and train around the Christmas tree, but that leaves no room for gifts. I have too many houses for space now.

Very nice, Allison.

Allison:

You have put me in the spirit this morning. Thanks for sharing that photo of the village.

Nice! The dogs don't bother it??? I LOVE your nutcrackers.

thanks all.... the doggies didn't pay it any mind.... those nutcrackers came from walmart they are musical and USED to dance... how it got broken is beyond me... might just be a cheaply made thing... I keep looking for another one though

photo ... more stuff... and one of Randy's many nutcrackers

and many santas

Very nice, Allison.

95 bottles of beer on the wall, 95 bottles of beer. You take one down pass it around 9 bottles of beer on the wall.

Lonely Hearts club Band - Hey who did that song!

The Beatles, Sherrie, you're a nut!

Yeah - I admitted it in another thread :-)

Sherrie is now a hermit,
She stays in the house with Mr. Kermit.
They had a terrible fright,
ended up with a big pillow fight,
he can now only stay for time as Permits!

stir crazy has set in early - either that or some one has the key to the liquor closet

Nope not doing that. Just stirring the pot. I am not working today so I thought I would drive you all nuts :-)

edited: If I did have the keys my words would look like this. BUT you can still read it!

now that took some concentration - your not playing with an herb are you?

No - There was a study done at the university of cambridge that figured it out. Then there is a word scrambler, you type it and it changes it for you .

I thought someone was talking with their mouth full!

i dont need a word scambler either - sometimes a buzzer to let me know i missed some letters would help.

you guys are too funny

I met my niece at the Waterloo outlets yesterday, and we picked a great day. Lots of sales, 40% off and then an additional 30%. I picked up a lot of deals on clothing for DH and DS.

Wow - that's some discount. They can't be making too much on that! I like the 'Lingerie half off' sales.

I'm sure you do like the lingerie half off.

Good one Deb!!!

Oh. You guys!!
I love laughing in the morning!

good one :-)

LOL! Great, Deb!

I thought it was my joke?!! But I don't mind sharing with Deb!

I agree Victor. So what are you going to do? Share with the 1/2 off? Its getting boring in here. Maybe I am due back for a whole day.

OK..I got part of my Christmas present today! I need to learn how to use it before Christmas and so they gave it to me early.
My DH & Joshua got me a Nikon D40 Kit!!! The other half is the lens of my choice once I figure out what I need!!!!!!!!!!
I'm SO spoiled!!!

Yay!

I'm so excited!! But boy, do I have alot to learn!!!!!

Wow - congrats, Celeste! Here's a good, no-nonsense site.

I have a new macro lens on my wish list, then I'll have 4 lens and might be finished.
Great Celeste! Have fun.

You have a Canon, right Deb?

Well Deb I actually said something about a macro lens and then I said something about reaching out and touching that Eagle down in the back forty. Thats why they bought me this and suggested I get another lens for it... 18 X 200mm

Yes Victor, a Canon, and I have lens up to 500mm, now want a macro.

Is it the Nikkor 18-200mm VR, Celeste?

I need to see what this one can do, then I can decide where to go from there. I'm already lost and i'm only on page 2 of the manual!
