Bless my mom, she received an influx of orders last night, but still agreed to watch both girls today so Jorge and I could get some Christmas shopping done. I love shopping on Sundays during football season! We managed to get quite a bit done and I also had to peel myself out of Archiver’s before I did anymore damage. This was my first time shopping there and I can’t believe I never visited before! They host classes (with neat free projects listed on their website and have free make-and-takes) plus have a lot of specialty items that I’ve only seen online. So, props to them for a nice, organized, inspiring store! I was drawn to the $1.99 section (which isn’t your typical discount selection – great stuff) where I found some gorgeous felt poinsettias to match the K&Company Brenda Walton Christmas Stack I got at Michael’s. It’s the vintage-looking Christmas collection – I absolutely love it!

Now for my photo for today. While at Archiver’s, I purchased many a thing to decorate and give as gifts. One thing I purchased was this recipe box holder. My mind is in a creative overload. I have so much I can think to do with it, that I need to back up the truck a little bit (did I just hear my stepdad’s words coming out of my mouth fingers?) and plan what I am going to do. It is completely overwhelming. What questions should I be asking myself?

And now, the big, bad box.
