Christmas Shopping? Check!
Sunday, October 05, 2008
Well, I’m completely finished! With my grandparents’ Christmas gifts, that is. I got an email from Shutterfly Thursday or Friday saying they were offering 30% additional photo books and free shipping on orders of $25 through October 8th, and I just had to jump on that. Every year I like to compile a volume of my favorite Mia layouts over the past year to give to her three sets of grandparents. I hate having to figure out what to give who, so photo books are really the perfect solution for the grandparents, especially since we don’t live near any of them and they don’t get to see her much. It’s a good way to share with them how she’s grown over the past year.
Yesterday, I decided I’d better sit down and get the books done before I missed the offer completely. The challenge was that I haven’t scrapped very much at all since the spring, and there were huge gaping chronological holes in between layouts. I did some quick scrapping to fill in the blanks (results below), and got 4 books ordered (one for each set of grandparents, and a master copy for us to keep). Yep. So, yay! That’s pretty much the biggest part of my Christmas shopping, finished. Which is awesome, because I really hate shopping. Ick. I think my shopping gene was accidentally replaced with a video game/computer nerd gene. Oh, well.
