Secret Santa Discussion Thread 2013!!

Oh Noodles!  All you need now are some little ruby slippers ...

I think the wig was pushing it!

  It fell off an old china doll of mine that DD plays with.  It looks super creepy without hair!!

 

[nurseangel]

Aw, poor Noodles.  

  

The time seems to be drawing short on Secret Santa and I am not nearly finished shopping.  I hope I can attend the Southern Christmas Show this year.  I have also seen some signs for local church craft fairs. I really love those.

My mother was going to toss them; but it just so happens I have a project that involves pretty rocks in mind already.  Now does this project involve SS?  Maybe.  Just maaaaybe.

Pretty! I hope you're my SS; I love pretty rocks!

I spent more time and money in the craft store today. I saw things in there that could make some really nice gifts! 2 i will be back for, when i have a coupon!

You have GOT to be kidding me! Drawing short? I still have almost 2 months left, right?? Ok, I'm a procrastinator and usually I am rushing around at the last minute trying to finish my shopping but it gets done. 

I actually did put an order in for a SS gift (already have a few but this was something I was really looking for) and it should be here in a few days. A lot of things will be picked up on black Friday (hopefully, the sales will match my list, which is slowly getting things crossed off of it. I just can't get in the mood until after Thanksgiving.

Ugh. I haven't even started yet.  

How did it get to be November?

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I'm getting into it even earlier it seems. No decorating; but knocking out the shopping early helps.  It really hit me now though...yesterday was the big craft fair I always go to.  I was able to find presents for family as well as my SS.  And I did find a nice print I'm going to hang over my couch.  It's needed something.  The only thing I regret not picking up was a crochet airplane with a rattle inside.  My DS isn't so much into the rattle phase; but he could safely throw that around without hurting anyone.  Or anything.  View media item 185740
 I don't think I picked up the vendor's business card.  It wasn't the same vendor who made this. I've purchased from her before and know she is local.

I'm cracking up over the crochet Grumpy Cat doll![emoji]128514[/emoji]

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I really had to have it!  Tard is so cute!  The girl who made him is really talented!  She had so many cute things for little ones!  Even things like a little crochet tea set (pot, tray, cookies, etc!) and a crochet makeup set, crochet tools and different characters.  Like Thomas the Train and other popular characters.  Some really sweet little dolls and kid size purses too.

Dear SS, I've found lots of goodies I think you will love this week!

Too funny! We were sent an Aussie "mini-me" a while back, and it still cracks me up!

Is Katie participating this year? She NEEDS a grumpy cat!

 

[MoochNNoodles]

Hehe... no i don't think she is. I guess that's good because I really would have a hard time giving him up!

Hmm... I wonder if I can have her make a custom piece. I always call Noodles or resident grumpy cat. I would love a Noodles version to be Tard's buddy!

 

[nurseangel]

I am hoping to do some Santa shopping tomorrow.  I've fallen behind because I fell (literally).

You ok hun?

 

[nurseangel]

Thanks all.  I'm fine now.  

  I don't remember exactly what happened, but I fell after getting out of bed.  I hit my head and have a concussion, though the symptoms are improving and I can tell I am getting a little better each day.

I only have cat toys and (people) treats to buy to finish out my Secret Santa shopping.  I did notice that Wal-Mart has out their Christmas candy now, so I made some mental notes while I was there.
