Normally, I sew up to Christmas Eve making last minute gifts for the family. But not this year! Yesterday, I finished my last custom order for the store, packed it up, and shipped it this morning. So, today my sewing machine gets put to bed until after the first of the New Year. I have been loading free books onto my Kindle, and hope to do some serious reading over the next few weeks.
We had purchased Disney gift cards for our trip and somehow managed to return home with $500 of the cards. We decided to use these for Christmas shopping. I sold a $100 card to a family member, and used that money for some good deals on Amazon. With the other $400, I bought gifts from the Disney store. A few more purchases from J.C. Penney, Kohl's and Toys R Us, and my shopping is finished. And, you can be sure, I did most of my shopping through Ebates. I've earned nearly $1000 in rebates since I joined. If you aren't a member of Ebates and would like to be, please use this link and I earn a little for referring you.
I still have to decide what food item I'm going to make to give to my neighbors. In the past, I've done different quick breads, swedish tea rings, stollen, and carmel popcorn. Do you do anything special food items for gifts? Ideas would be appreciated. Have a good week.
