*sparkles*

great deals. beware scrapbooking is soooo addicting. I say give it a shot. you can always get a lot of great ideas online to get you started.

I love doing the Walgreens rebates. They are definitely worth it!

thanks so much. we need one of those dustbusters and at that price, i couldn't pass it up.

Found some great things at Target this year. *Cookie Monster singing stocking (around $3.00) *Lip gloss sets (around $1.00) *A sparkly throw (around $3.00) *Stocking hangers/holders (around $7.50 for four)

went to ours...all that was left was an aisle full of red felt bows, and another one full of green garland (I think that's what it's called).... and I was so excited to go.

Happy New Year from WI :) Stay safe everyone.

Thanks so much for this. My step mother's b-day is coming up and she loves these!

wow! that is a big difference...good job. also thanks for those websites, didn't know about them.

I didn't realize they did that. That would be hard if you just had a wedding, or baby shower, etc. Maybe you could have someone return it for you.

OOOO I forgot about Pier One...may have to check them out after Jan 1rst.

I would be very frustrated too. I'd go back and talk to a manager about it. good luck.

Wow sounds like some great deals. I've never heard of Value City...we must not have those around here.

Hmmm....it'll be interesting to see what happens. Hope you don't get charged twice.

I didn't find much...I was kinda disappointed. We got some wrapping paper at Walmart and Target. We got those lipgloss/makeup sets for our dd for next yr (hope they hold up). that's about it. I'm hoping Target marks there toys down to 50% soon then I'll get lots.

Yeah I know..isn't it frusrating! Our mall charges also. I think ours is $2.50. I used to buy them for my teenage sisters but now I just go to their favorite stores. it's a lot cheaper that way

happy birthday! my best friend's birthday is today, she's turning 27 :)

Merry Christmas everyone! :)

I have a linksys and am happy with it. However, I need to figure out how to change the settings so no one else is using my connection.

Well we already have atleast four inches on the ground. It's supposed to rain this weekend so that might change things a bit. It's always nice when it's snowing on Christmas :)

i'll have to check it out :) thank you.

That sounds like a really neat idea. I didn't even know something like that existed.

LOL I know what you mean. My cats always lay right in the middle of the paper as I'm using it. Then they get mad at me for moving them :) Also if I have ribbon on the presents I always find it shredded or little holes in it from them chewing on them.

Oh that's great! I'll have to do this some time!

We keep it 68 during the day, 66 at night...might have to lower it at night now that I saw a giant bill:eyepoppin

thanks for the info, that helps a lot :)
