Almost everyone loves to go shopping, whether to find good buys and bargains, to just window shop or to really buy what they want need for whatever reason. Perhaps husbands are the ones who don’t enjoy shopping especially when they just tag along with their wives holding heavy bags.
So what part of the mall or department store do you like to explore?
I have written posts about our Christmas finds in more ways than one which include my Frugal Christmas in my other blogs. Among others I blogged about Personalized Gift Tags, white gift wrappers, being on the lookout for Baked Goodies Recipe and I was able to make Butterscotch Bars. We were able to make Handmade Paper Stockings which hang by the silver cord. Bargain books anyone?
For the FilipinoMomBlog Fab Holiday Finds Gold theme, I present a wee photo of our Christmas tree and some of its gold ornaments.
That ribbon has seen a lot of Christmases in our home because we had these for the last ten years.
Along with the gold ribbons that I made 10 years ago, are gold beads, stars and bell chains, gold stars and golden sparkles. The gold balls that hang on the wreath on the door. Our Advent Wreath has gold chains too.
So there goes our Christmas decorations bedecked in gold.
The littlest pet shop toys are wonderful toys for children. Their feet have small magnets. They have teeny tiny accessories like bones and hats.
These are not for young children to play wth because of the small parts that can either get lost or swallowed (I hope not).
I got these on sale, by the way 🙂
Having said that I am going to spend a frugal Christmas, I have one after the other, slowly getting the things I need to see my plan of action into a reality
I got several things to use to be able to afford baking goodies as gifts
Sure, I shelled out some but I know these are for long-term use so I am still able to save, I think
Anyway, I got a silver 9 x 9 baking pan which was not bought on purpose but rather as an alternative The nonstick baking pan I was setting my sights on was not in stock so I settled for the silver baking pan which incidentally, is the FilipinoMomBlog’s Fab Holiday Finds week 3 theme
Here is a photo with the butterscotch bars that I and the kids baked last week, cooling in the silver baking pan 🙂
As I have already planned to make personalized Christmas gift tags, I have also visualized what kind of wrapper I would use.
Yes, its WHITE.
White goes well with any color, doesn’t it? And this incidentally, is the theme for FilipinoMomBlog‘s Week 2 of the Fab Holiday Finds Meme.
Well white should go with any colors, especially the gift tags I made, so here are the inexpensive “Japanese papers” I bought to wrap my gifts in:
