As I sit here looking over the various email receipts I have from Christmas and birthday shopping, I can't help but think about how awesome the internet really is. For the past few years my husband and I have been turning to the internet more and more for various purchases. I'd say that 50% of our Christmas shopping is going to be accomplished online. Five years ago 100% of it was done in stores, and to add insult to injury, in Walmart and K-Mart, just five days before Christmas. Yes, it was as nightmarish as it sounds.
I also buy party supplies online. In fact, I can find some great themes online. Classic Pooh, Hello Kitty and Wow Wow Wubbzy are all great party themes that I was able to find supplies for online. Most stores don't even carry Classic Pooh or Wow Wow Wubbzy toys, let alone specialty items like balloons, streamers and birthday candles!
This leads me to bridal shower supplies. I have never planned a bridal shower, but I helped my mother plan one for her friend. We got ideas from local stores, then headed for the internet to find great deals on all of the stuff we wanted. Even with paying for shipping we saved money, and we enjoyed the convenience of waiting for everything to come to us! :)

Scents to Relax In!
Love to sit and read a good book while inhaling something that is truly relaxing? I would like to share these Village Candles that are so awesome! I always burn candles and like to try out new aromas so when I found these beautiful candles I just had to share! I recently tried out this blend sweetness that lingers just right! This is truly a very subtle and inviting candle! If you love candles like I do these are worth checking out!Sunday, February 15, 2009

What did you get for Christmas?
The nice thing about setting up wishlists online, whether it be at Sandbox Couture or even Amazon, is that your loved ones will know exactly what you want. There's nothing more refreshing and exciting than opening up Christmas presents and getting just what you wanted!
I have to say, this is the first year that I got everything that I wanted: a gps system, a lensbaby, a 50mm lens (a gift to myself a few weeks before Christmas, heh) and plenty of gift cards!

I'm shopping online for Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Were so many packages, but not a single mouse
UPS stickers and FedEx labels galore
The convenience of shopping online
Is definitely not a folk lore
The boxes arrived by delivery trucks with care
And there was lots of hope
But absolutely no despair
It pays to shop online, but make sure to get a head start
Because before you know it, it'll be the night before Christmas
And nowhere to be found is a single open mart!

A Big Nursery Surprise!
I have been out there shopping every day for Christmas. We have such a large family it can be overwhelming when it comes to choosing gifts for everyone! Well, there are twins that are due this month so, everyone is eager to see when they'll arrive. As a gift i decided to decorate my sister's nursery for her. I chose such cute baby bedding by Caden Lane, baby furniture, and all the baby accessories for these two babies, I am just too excited. I made her promise that she wouldn't look until the babies arrived. I put a big ribbon on the door and a tag saying "Don't Open 'till Christmas!" Nice touch huh? I can't wait to see her reaction! I know she is going to love it!
