Thanks, in advance, to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
My son Mike sent a box filled with gifts and lots of wonderful crinkly wrapping paper. Amber enjoyed it so much! Thanks Mike!!
At .57 you will see one of the areas on Ambers that is a prime spot for itching and biting. She usually has to wear the cone all the time but I do give her a few time outs for eating and grooming but I watch carefully because she will start scratching and biting if my attention is elsewhere.

This looks like Estate Sale fare. The real telltale sign is wrapping paper. There's always another Christmas: People don't sell wrapping paper at yardsales usually. They sit at your house until you die, and then get sold at an estate sale. I haven't paid market value for wrapping paper in decades. Fuck that capitalism, that stuff is totally overpriced.
dustbuster, wrapping paper.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 8:50AM, made it out driving by ~9:15 and went out until 2:27PM for a total of 5.25 hours. Spent $60.55 plus ~$10.66 gas for 40.0 miles of driving (14 mpg @ $3.73/G), for a total cost of $71.21. We drove to 24 yard sales, stopping at 15 (62%) of them. We made 44 purchases (69 items) for a total estimated value of $814.81, leading to a profit/savings of $743.60. So in essence, we multiplied our $71.21 investment by 11.44X. (Also, if you think about it, the profit counts for even more when you consider that we have to earn ~$900 on the job, pre-tax, in order to take home the $789 in cash that we saved. How long does $900 of disposable income take to earn, vs the 5.25 hrs we spent here?) Anyway, this works out to a *post-tax* "wage" of $124.26/hr as a couple or $62.13/hr per person.

Made EXPLORE!

I know this is the THIRD pic I posted tonight, but I couldnt decide which to use. :) Make sure to view them all. HUGS to all!
This is our tree this year. I love sitting in the evening when everyone else has gone to bed and just look at the tree.
I was at an estate sale and found that the lovely lady kept every scrap of wrapping paper she had ever come across. I am in love with this large stash. Here is a bit of what I think is Mother's Day paper.
I'm always game to save money in any way I can. Gift wrapping can be very expensive, even if you buy it on sale after the holidays. One inexpensive way to wrap gifts is by using brown kraft paper. You can buy it in big rolls very inexpensively at home improvement stores, but I find that if I keep the stuff that comes in packaging throughout the year, I never have to buy any, in fact I always have a pretty good sized stash.

I love this shop, it's been there for as long as I can remember. I buy most of my greetings cards there. They sell prints and posters, gifts and stationery. The staff are always so helpful and polite. I'd be devastated if they closed. It's one of my favourite London shopfronts and I like the gate very much. Thank goodness I photographed this when I did as there is now a row of Boris' Bikes infront. In January the bikes had all been removed. I wonder why? They're now back again.
The Medici Society was founded in 1908 by Philip Lee Warner and Eustace Gurney. The shop opened in the 1930s and is believed to be the oldest greeting card specialist in London.
It took me a little time to think about this one!! So, in the end I used some light green "see-through" wrapping paper that my wife has to block out some light. I did like the effect the light made when falling across the paper!

Sorry to take so long with December's Welcome. I have been working like a mad women trying to decorate the house for this past weekend for the granddaughter's. I had a Christmas cookie baking night for Monique and Jasmine and a friend of theirs. At the last minute I decided I would decorate the house for them all Christmasy. Well, while I was unwrapping the Christmas decorations Tessa decidied to give me a hand and run in and out of the wrapping paper. She had so much fun checking every thing out. She'll have even more fun when the Christmas tree goes up next weekend. Please drop by to check out all the fun here in San Diego as we watch through Tessa's eyes the mircle of her FIRST CHRISTMAS.

Done the last of the wrapping and put under the tree.
The wrapping paper gave me the inspirataion for this shot by the way it catches the light.
