Okay, I know that's five, but I figured I'd be safe in case someone opted out LOL! Gotta run, still have some cleaning to do, the guest room to get ready, and a few small pressies to wrap. Have a blessed Christmas everyone!!
Oh, Marisa, this was so much fun reading more about you!!! I'm honored to be "tagged." I'd love to do this and can't wait to get started, but I think it will have to wait until the New Year. I have a few freelance deadlines looming freakishly close now!!! I'm looking forward to fulfilling my "tag!"
ReplyDeletelol, do you mean rewrap the pressies, or are these new ones!! LOL So fun to get to know you better, although, what's neat now, I feel like I know you very well and your answers didn't surprise me, but made me smile :) I love that one about giving your kids the coupons!! LOL Hey, I'm taking Jake there today...maybe I'll do the same!! LOL Isn't that why we have kids? Cheap labour and coupon usage? lOL {wink!} All the baking is done and now just food prep for Christmas Eve night at my sister's and dessert for Tony's family on Christmas..hang it!!
ReplyDeleteoops, I mean...hang in!! hehehehe
ReplyDeleteMarisa, this really looks like fun...I'll have to really think about a few of those. It may take me a bit (busy, busy) but I'm game for this one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you tagged me. Have a good day.
Oh I loved reading up on you, Marisa! Your Michaels comment to the kids had me howling as I pictured it =) I have this partially started....I'll get to mine soon!
ReplyDeleteAll good things to know, with a few pearls of wisdom! So, when is this winter birthday???
