Christmas is this week and I’m sad to say I don’t have a big tree up in my house. I had plans to put one up, but this year things are different. My house needs work and I don’t have anywhere to put a tree up.

Every holiday season, I enjoy looking at the new ornaments. I do this partly because I enjoy looking at the new ornaments, the new holiday trends, and any potential replacements for my old ornaments if I need them.
This year, I found many pretty and cute ornaments at Walmart. I don’t always find nice ornaments at Walmart, but this year I found many! They include vintage inspired ornaments and glass ball ornaments.

Back in November and through out the month of December, while shopping at Bath and Body Works, I took some photographs in hopes of using them in posts. Those posts never materialized, but I still had the photographs. I loved the in store decorations, displays, products and, after taking with some of the Bath and Body Works employees, they put a lot of effort into creating the displays, so I decided to create a Bath and Body Works 2019 holiday product, display, and decor appreciation post.

This is the time of the year when people buy new items to use for a limited time only. Although I’m guilty of buying things and use them for a few weeks a year, there are items I purchase for use year-round because they are unavailable the rest of the year. Since this is Blogmas, I decided to share five Christmas items I purchase in order to use them year round. Continue reading “5 Christmas Items I Purchase to Use Year Round”
Last month, while out shopping, I occasionally purchased supplies for wrapping gifts. I don’t like to purchase gift wrapping supplies so early, but I decided to do it this year because last year it seemed like all the wrapping paper I liked sold out before I could purchase it. So, in order to avoid that, I decided to purchase gift wrapping supplies when I could.
Since I didn’t purchase all the items in this haul at one time in one store, I’m calling this a collective haul of gift wrapping supplies. Also, I’m not going to show all the supplies I purchased because I purchased a lot and it’s not very practical to post all the supplies in one post. Continue reading “2018 Gift Wrapping Supplies Collective Haul”
Today is December 1st and it is also the first day of Blogmas! I never participated in Blogmas before, mostly because I was too busy to write a lot of posts. This year, I was able to schedule and plan ahead so I could participate in Blogmas! Also, I plan on participating for 31 days instead of 25. I hope I can keep up the post pace while working my day job!
For the first post of blogmas, I decided to list five goals I want to accomplish before December 2018. Most of the goals are part of my Christmas bucket list I did not do because of health complications that developed in late November. Since I’m feeling much better and my health has improved a great deal, I wanted to add them to this list as motivation to check them off my bucket list.
