the temptation to just complete the TO DO list barring all costs!
Mostly the TO DO list involves completing gift shopping. When time becomes short, I start feeling desperate and blinded!
Daughter-getting interested in American Girl dolls. Is there any way possible to get involved with these at an affordable cost??? Peeked at Ebay, not a pretty sight.
Should I or shouldn't I? that is the question! Spend another $25 (approx) on small starter 14K gold pierced earrings? She is allowed to get her ears pierced this year. Or maybe give her a jewelry box (nice one with drawers)? They are inexpensive at JC Penney. Or wait on the whole thing cause her birthday is in February????
Son. His watch went in the washing machine. Died. It was my old watch and he loved it. Finally wore it everyday to school (5th grade). Go to Target and get him a watch to stuff his stocking???
Husband-haven't stepped in the Patagonia outlet yet (they have an 'unknown' store about 4 blocks from their factory that most folks are unaware). Was thinking to look for a UV protection shirt for him cause he works outside alot at our weekend property. Or maybe a protective hat. Just not time.
Neighbors-YaY! I brought back lots and lots of juniper greens from our ranch! SMELL GOOD! Will craft into swags and wreaths for the good friends on our street (2 or 3 families). Add nice generous ribbon, and few sparkly or rustic touches (already have). Cost?? TIME.
Work-My boss is taking her birthday off! I had bought her a small $10 gift, but won't see her for 3 days later (my day off, then the weekend). Soooooooo, I am going to use the gift instead for the office Christmas party exchange. It is a small artwork nicely framed and good for any person.
Gotta run, anyone with time to sell?

Okay, you were looking for cheaper American Girl Doll? I found some coupons, I dunno if they'll help much because those dolls are still pretty pricy but maybe it'll lead down the right track.

I think the point of their coupons is that you use them online, I wouldn't know, never used it before. Good luck!!

Breathe in....Breathe out....
am concentrating on packing/mailing the out of town boxes to family, making the sprays/wreaths which cost nada
and using a $5 off (25 purchase) at a local indie toy shop before any other shopping for dolls/jewelry/clothes. Have not visited this place before (although husband had and likes it) and will check if anything fits the need first, not to mention supporting this local shop.
