Christmas shopping, check!

I finished my Christmas shopping this past weekend! Like most girls, I love shopping, especially for others. I feel a lot less guilty about spending money when it’s not on me. Some of my presents are creative, others are not. Also, I’m trying to think about each person and their interests/wants/needs before buying them a gift. It’s my goal to buy as few gift cards as possible this year. And so far, I'm pretty successful.

Late on the Christmas shopping this year? All done?

And are you a fan of creative gifts vs. convenient gifts?

Play, an analogy of dogs and humans

 playful pups:

*like tug-o-war, frisbee, catch, or other games

*run to the door when you arrive

*whine when you leave

*beg when you are eating

*demand your attention when you're working

*run around the yard to chase squirrels

*say hello to other dogs

playful people:

*play games, sports, competitions, etc.

*give hugs/kisses at the door

*laugh with you

*cry with you

*serve and be served food/drinks/conversation

*ask how you're doing, or if you need any help

*go out of their way for others

*greet others, including strangers

Life's a party

Finals are done! I have a couple more classes next week and then seven weeks of Christmas Va-cay! Hoorah!

I'm going Christmas shopping this Friday to try and buy some good finds for the fam. Not sure yet where to go...but if I were shopping for myself I would definitely head to H&M. Haven't been there in forever, and love the new hip, European look.

There's a function on the website to create your own Style Guide Party look.

My top five finds:

Blouse: $24.95

Jeans: $39.95

Shoes: $34.95

Bracelet: $5.95

Scarf: $12.95

Total: under $120
