The Sewing Mom

Did you brave the Black Friday crowds? Not me! We stayed home and spent the morning putting up the Christmas tree. We bought new lights last week, unfortunately we didn’t buy enough. So, after sitting here looking at the tree partially lit and realizing that we needed to buy more lights before we could start putting the decorations on the tree, we decided to head out to the store. We were in no hurry though and the last thing I wanted to do was fight the crowds.

We wound up running a few errands that brought us close to a home center so we opted to buy our lights there. It wasn’t bad at all and I think it was late enough in the day that even the traffic wasn’t too bad. This is not to say that I didn’t do any Christmas shopping today, I did, I just did did my shopping online this morning.

I bought a few things on my daughter’s list and I narrowed down a couple of gift ideas for my hard to shop for mother-in-law. While I was looking for ideas of what to do with all the digital pictures I have, I found an awesome [tag]Photo Blanket[/tag] that I’m thinking of getting for my step-daughter. I’d love to put her new baby’s picture on it, I think she would absolutely love it. There are also [tag]photo pillows[/tag] and [tag]photo pillowcases[/tag] that I could give as gifts. I have the most amazing mother/baby photo that would look really awesome on any of these items and it’s really an easy site to use.

I’m really looking forward to the holidays this year.
