Rabbit!
In honor of the first day of December, I wanted to share a family tradition:
In honor of the first day of December, I wanted to share a family tradition:
a countdown to Christmas with books.
We love Christmas books and love reading them together. I wrap 25 books and number them, and each night we unwrap a book and read it together. Some are funny, some are silly, some are classics, and some are so touching they make me cry every time. It doesn't matter if we get back home super late or how crazy the day has been, it's just a great way to quietly finish each of the nights before Christmas. Plus, what a great incentive for getting teeth brushed and jammies on quickly so we can unwrap a book! :)
On Christmas Eve you can unwrap the scriptures to read the accounts of Christ's birth.

I'm moving up... To make this edition, I stepped up from the Dollar Tree to the likes of Michaels, Hob Lob, and Walmart. I know, I know....you probably won't even be able to read a snobby blog like this anymore.
I wanted to make this one big and beautiful...as a gift for a friend that had us over for Thanksgiving and that has been so good to me since we've moved here.

This is a good one, they are $2 more than last year, but I'll keep you alerted if I see them drop anymore.
$6 each, free shipping, free personalization!
I like to personalize them with the year and put a family picture inside to hang on the tree. I'm loving those circle ones too! ^

Disclaimer: nothing in this for me~passing along a good deal.
Good luck!
My shopping list was probably different than most shoppers' today.
I went for.60/roll ribbon at Michael's:
Home tour continues:
Our family room before was a dark paneled, nasty carpeted, dreary place. We had the sellers replace the ceiling fan with this one before we moved in because the other one sparked when it was turned on and was a major fire hazard!
Love that golden fireplace! Is there a mantel on that brick??
I am having a blast seeing all of your favorite things!
It's fun to see everyone's favorites outside of spray paint, crafting, and thrifting, but it's taking forever, because I'm checking so many things out as I read...."oooooh, does my library have that book?" or "please, please let them have those boots in my size", putting lipstick and nailpolish colors on my list to check out, or listening to your favorite music on Amazon previews. Plus, y'all are making me hungry!
Thank you to everyone that has linked up, and you can still join through this evening when I'll close up shop, since my spammers seem to especially love the weekends. I'll make it around to everyone though~

Another of my favorites is my readers!
Sally Y. from Montana sent me an email saying..."I know how much you love a good Old Navy deal and just thought I'd let you know I stopped in today and they were having their 50% off clearance price sale. I walked out of their with a bag packed full of great deals and Christmas gifts! My store said the sale went until next Wednesday. Hope you and the rest of your readers can snatch up some good deals too!"

Also, if you go to Old Navy Weekly, you can create your own band logo, print it off, and get 50% off of any single item in the store tomorrow~here's the one I got for 320 Sycamore: :)
Some of you recommended their jeans in your favorite things, and I desperately need a new pair, so I may be checking it out and it's so nice to get some good deals and maybe avoid the Black Friday madness!
Hang on to your hats...are you ready for some more deals??
Whew!

There is a printable $5 off $20, $20 off of a $50 purchase, and and extra 25% on all furniture (including sale!) World Market coupons here that will be good through Nov 25.
Bath & Body Works is having their signature collection Buy 3, get 3 free, plus their Slatkin & Co. room sprays are $3 (which I know was also on lot of favorite things lists!), plus here is a $10 of $30 purchase , good through the weekend to use on top of it, making for some great, inexpensive gifts!
And last but not least, today is the same day last year that Hob Lob's fall went 90% off, and Michaels should be as well~I would call to verify. They want everything fall out of their stores, lol :)
