Jennilocker, (how are you, lady?) you can get holiday wrapping paper at the dollar tree here.  Might want to check a place like that.  i just bought christmas flowers yesterday for barrettes for Liv from there.

Yep, I've seen lots of wrapping paper out already!  Maybe jennilocker leaves in a reasonable state and they don't have it out yet.

Yeay for partners! Thank goodness I only decided yesterday to sign up, and so I haven't had that awfully long wait as many of you. SevsOnlyGirl, good luck with the task!

Wow!!!  This chocolate talk is UNBEARABLE!!    We have Sees here - LOVE - and not a fan of Godiva EXCEPT for their chocolate macaroons that are thankfully so ridiculously expensive that I could never afford to get fat on them!
 
  Hooray for partners- so excited to get started - CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dollar Tree has their christmas stuff out. And so does Michael's, but I don't suggest buying wrapping paper from them, it is sooo expensive! Their ribbon is decently priced when it is on sale, but then again, I am a ribbon junkie ;P I bought some super cute ribbon to use on this swap and the advent calendar swap on Saturday. I will be making tags to tell my partner what to wait for Xmas. Then again, I might just make a separate present that isn't in the stocking.

At my house we always did the stockings last. Mostly because it was chocolates and my mom didn't want us eating them before she could get a chance on starting Christmas breakfast LOL

I always stock up on Christmas cards, paper, etc after Christmas when everything goes on sale.  Wonder if Ikea has any Christmas stuff in yet - they sometimes have really cute little Christmas knickknacks for great prices.  Betcha Costco has Christmas stuff up already.  I got huge rolls at the Ashley warehouse sale last year - good quality and I really mean HUGE rolls of the stuff.

Oh yeah - Costco is a virtual winter wonderland!  I love their gift tags but didn't buy any this year cause I promised myself I'd make my own - (why do I do that to myself?)

Joann's has Xmas stuff out already, too, I passed by the wrapping paper while on the hunt for stuff the other day.  They usually put it on sale pretty quick and off and on through the holiday.  Dollar Tree would be my pick to get paper, but I have a HUGE supply of it I have accrued for several years including: Precious Moments, A Christmas Story, and I think some Hello Kitty, but I'm not sure.  I have some mod/retro stuff, traditional stuff, and some argyle.  I'm all set on the wrapping!  I even have several gift boxes of various sizes for things.  I will have to try to wrap as space-consciously as possible so I don't end up paying through the nose for shipping when I'm done

NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!  I have to wait until late Wed, early Thurs for partners??!!!  I'm gonna go nuts!!!  LOL!  I'll be OK, I have OT at work today and the next 2, so I'll be plenty busy not being at home til late.

This reminds me that I did run out of Hello Kitty paper last year and only remember buying Batman paper.  I hope Target stocks it this year.  A year without Hello Kitty under my tree is a sad year indeed.

I pulled out holiday fabric last night while going through my stash.  I'll all set to get started.

Fancy seeing you here!!  I was at Michaels the other day and they had a ton of Hello Kitty stuff and I thought of Liv!!  And then I saw your Hello Kitty Swap and cursed myself for being full on swaps!!  I haven't been in our dollar tree for a while but I will go check it out!!  I've been limiting my shopping to Kroger so I won't spend crazy!
