Michaels wouldn't be any closer. We're an hour drive away from everything. A 2 hour drive if you want the really good stores. That's why I've been doing more and more of my Christmas shopping online. It saves a lot of hassle.

Yes it does CandyKane. I live much closer to stores but just don't have either the time or energy during Christmas season so I shop online! Good luck!

Watched Christmas Vacation today, don't know why, just wanted to watch it, and it made my day that much better.

A little Christmas always makes my days brighter - so happy for you!

Went online and found a site that has old Sears Christmas Catalogs and other stores as well, all the way back to 1933. It was nice to go back and remember from time gone by.

ksrjreed--Could you post the link to the Christmas catalog site???

[CandyKane]

I have addressed so many birthday party invitations it felt like I was addressing Christmas cards. I found the cutest stamps. The are animal rescue stamps and they have pics of cats and dogs on them with the message to adopt shelter pets. Adorable! Now I can't wait to see what this years Christmas stamps will look like!

I went to the QVC site today and it looks like they'll do Christmas in July on the 24th and the 25th! I never buy anything, but I always watch.

Hi everyone. I have been very busy these past months so I miss you all at CAY. It's time to plan a Christmas in July cookie exchange. I will be sending out invites at the end of the week. Most of my guest already know when it will be. I can''t wait.

[Noel+]

nettescraps, your Christmas cookie exchange sounds great!

Hallmark is showing a couple of Christmas movies tomorrow -- not sure if for Christmas in July or the 4th?

What a great week!! Hubby and I finally managed a few vacation days at the lake and we had a huge birthday party for our 3 year old complete with barbeque, fireworks, and swimming in the pool. It was wonderful! We have truly been blessed with good family and friends. And I got some more good news today. A family member that we haven't been able to have Christmas with for the last 3 years because of her job quit it this week and is going back to school. So she'll be with us for Christmas! I'm so happy!!!

[CandyKane]

Now that we've got the 4th and dd's birthday party behind us, it's full steam ahead til Christmas! WooHoo!!
