    Hi everyone,

    I'm coming over for this thread too. Have got most of my presents sorted already for Xmas (and mostly money neutral thanks to Jammy's thread) but still a few to do and OH will be at home this year for Xmas (he worked last year) so looking forward to the big day. Lots of things to organise and ready to do some crafting.

    Looking forward to Santas Challenge.

    mum2one, I love your daughters idea of pushing the puppy in the pram:rotfl:

    At the moment we have 2 black lab puppies a boy (diesel) and a girl (bess) they were 16 weeks yesterday. Diesel is ours but Bess is a kennel mate and belongs to the breeder(who is a firend of DH's) but she has to go back at some point. Dog lover's will know what I mean when I say I'm heading for a sea of heatbreak here.
    They are so clever already, they sit and stay and walk to heal on a lead already and they are soooooo lovely.
    I tried to get some pics of them but my photo skills are hopeless and they look like devil dogs. LOL

    right girlies - I need gold wrapping paper - cheap as possible but I want to buy it now (best if it is plain too).
    Went to home bargains yesterday as they have cheap rolls but they were a funny grainy quality I didn't like.
    So as anyone seen any anywhere ??? - may try b and m too...
    Got to get it all ready for christmas now
    Have loads of gold luxury ribbon for ladies presents and going to make tags with names on cut out on my cricut( have to dig out gold paper and card) Going to start making tags and want them all done by the end of this month. For the men - any other colour I think (would like black or silver which I have seen cheap somewhere) with some kind of manly tag on - but no ribbon on theres.

    I keep posting on the wrong threads here!!!

    Can someone not send a message to mrstine and ask for the one PLM and that other person started? seems pointless having all these threads ongoing when this is the one which is going to help everyone the most with the challenges etc etc! I don't mean to sound like a complete cow but I am soooo easily confused lately (I blame the silly tablets I am on!)

    Scattyman - Have you tried card warehouse/card factory? they often have plain papers in for a reasonable price? I haven't been in for a while so can't guarantee they have gold

    I have subscribed to other posts, but not this one ... but I get so many emails but never click the links on the emails. I am funny about links in emails, I would rather find my own way there if that makes sense ... but its just there is now 3 christmas organised threads which confuses me lol. Thanks for that giggle.
