Christmas Exchange

-
HI to all my readers today! I have been thinking about two fun exchanges I participated in last year and can't seem to find information on any that are happening this year in blog land. I participated in a tea cup exchange and a gift exchange with other bloggers here and I truly enjoyed it and made some new friends. I would love to do something like that again. That brings me to my post.

I would like to get 10-20 people that are interested in doing a secret type gift exchange on here. It can be homemade, store bought or even just something nice that you no longer want. The price should be around $10, if possible. I will write down all names and then decide who will give to who. You will not be aware of who your gift is coming from until the gift arrives.

If you are going to participate, please comment below and then send an email to me with a few things that you are interested in. Items such as a love for reading mysteries, I do yarn crafts, just things that you love. Your favorite color or something that you collect are very helpful in these types of exchanges.

Ladies, we spend so much time making sure others are taken care of, let's make this about us! Imagine opening your mailbox to find a package for yourself that someone else has taken the time to think about you and show you a little appreciation.

We need to have the list made soon of participates as Christmas is only a few weeks away. I would like to have names sent out by Dec. 1 to give all time to get gifts and get them in the mail. I would like them mailed by Dec. 15th to insure that the item is there by the holiday.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
