Idea's and Thoughts
If you have not seen under my
tree in recent post then you did not
know that I wrapped my gifts all
in kraft paper, except one.
But I never thought of doing this...
Saw this idea on Pinterest.
What a cute idea.
About month or so ago I
picked up a tin of popcorn at
Kmart. It was on sale for
$4.50. I grabbed one and over
a course of time I enjoyed most
of it...feeding the last to the birds.
I have noticed over the years that
the size of the can has been
squished down (for lack of
a better term)
From this
To this.
But what really got my attention was
the pricing.
I paid $4.50
and thought I would pick
up a tin for my daughters boys but
did not want to drive back over to
Kmart. So I looked at Kroger.
There price was $5.99, Walgreens however
for the same things was $7.99
but Wally World (Walmart) had theirs
for $5.00..
Wow, pricing for the same thing was
all over the board.
Now moving on,
who likes the blow up
Christmas decorations?
Just my thoughts, I don't care
for them.
Esp during the day when everyone
is off to work and the decorations
are turned off, laying lifeless on
the ground in a blob of plastic
mess.
But I guess the redneck in me
likes things like this!
haha....
While writing this post I heard some
noise coming from my laundry
closet. I left the doors open and
Ms. Lily Bit decided to jump up
on the washer and off to under
the stairs.
She was playing around in the empty
box that my tree goes in.

One last thing....night before
last I got a call and I knew from the ring
that it was my daughter. Upon answering it
I found my youngest grandson Braden facetiming
with me.
Then I talked to the middle one.
Here is a pic they sent me later.
Tuesday my daughter will be
messing with her.
I will bake her a cake and take
it to her work which is 15 minutes
from me instead of to her home that
is an hour away.
With that, her and Will and the
kids are also moving next week.
They will be moving about 15 minutes
further out then she is now.
Moving from an apartment to a
mobile home. Kids will have room
to run and play.
In reply to several comments on my blog,
I am still dealing with pain, it is a given with
cold weather. Yesterday's temps were
up near 50 so I did have a better day.
I am just having to push a bit more to get
things done. Thank you all for the
concern and comments, it is very
sweet of you to comment and show your
concern.
Thanks for stopping in,

I don't like the blow up decorations at all. I have looked at the popcorn tins and thought how much smaller they are than they used to be. We used to get one every year. I noticed some of them don't even have a solid lid on them
I really do love that wrapping idea! Very fun and lovely!
Your grandson's are so cute; I know you love them so much.
I like the wrapping on the gifts; unique! And, I'm with you; don't care at all for the plastic blow up yard art. LOL
