I thought I finished nearly all of my Christmas shopping back in November...before trips for work and fun, before Thanksgiving. I thought I was so ahead of the curve and I was so proud that all of my gifts were wrapped in brown craft paper and tied with various grosgrain ribbons and looked like something out of Martha Stewart Living.
I knew there was ONE gift left to buy, but little did I know, there were MANY more to buy. I took care of what I thought was my last gift last Saturday in Florence, but I was sorely mistaken. Mom and I bought a few more things that day and then I've placed three separate orders with Amazon this week including one this morning. It's a good thing I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime, otherwise I nothing I ordered would arrive in time and I'd have to venture to a brick and mortar store...the horror!! :)
Now, I have at least 12 more gifts to wrap, so I guess the leftover craft paper will be going to Florence with me. I bought three big rolls and didn't even use all of one (way more on a roll than I expected), so I guess my over-shopping is actually useful since I don't need more wrapping paper. I think I have ribbon left over, but I'm not positive...it has been more than a month since I've wrapped all the first batch of gifts! :) I think some gifts might not get ribbon if it saves me a trip to Hobby Lobby at this time of year!
