I haven’t bought wrapping paper in a few years but still seem to have plenty. I also end up with more gift bags after every holiday which I happily reuse. And speaking of reusing, I wrote a blog post for Retro Housewife Goes Green‘s “Green Holiday Blog Carnival” which you can read here. Do…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 8 “Ornament(s)”
Every year each of us gets a new Christmas ornament in our stocking, usually something from Hallmark. We’ve been married 31 years so that’s a LOT of ornaments.
