FINALLY FRIDAY !!

My favorite day is here again!! I am so ready for the weekend. The mornings have been extremely cold this week and I have just wanted to lay in bed. Hopefully, I'll get to in the morning.

I just made plans to play Basket Bingo tomorrow with a good friend. Wish me luck!! I am going to prepare for Thanksgiving since my husband and I are cooking - first time ever!!

Have a great weekend and I will see you Monday!!

Thoughtful Thursday - Christmas Edition

Make a Christmas card list if you send cards Be on the lookout for great deals. Gather addresses and make a list you can use every year. I have a list on my computer with addresses that I can add to each year and then just print out.

I have also found that several people are starting to send ecards instead of mailing cards. Sending ecards saves money on cards and postage. You can now upload your own photo to an ecard to make it very personal. I think this is a great idea.

Have you found any great deals on Christmas cards?
