I must confess, I love being crafty, but I’m the worst at actually carving out time and space in my life to be creative. Crafting takes money, time and energy. All the things that most people never have enough of. (I know, I’m not doing a good job of selling this whole DIY “Do it yourself” thing… stay with me though.)
Imagine with me. It’s the holiday season and you’ve decided to make it extra special for your family and friends. You take time to consider a unique and personal Christmas gift for each one. You make a detailed list, asking for suggestions, brainstorming ideas and wandering through your favorite stores.
Autumn is falling upon Oklahoma, my friends. Our state experiences perhaps a two-week stint of Fall before Winter comes crashing in with it’s cutting wind and biting cold (maybe not that violently, but it comes, nonetheless). But, oh, how that brief season of Fall boasts. From Van Gogh shaming sunrises to Jane Austen-esque mist over our ponds and lakes. Our neighborhood trees are engulfed in a flame of red and orange leaves as our grass browns like a churned lake bed.
Listen up, ladies, I’ve got the shopping scoop for you! By now, you know to expect The Gift Goes On in November each year (on the 19th this year, to be exact). And I’m sure you are marking your calendars and anticipating the incredible, purchasing-with-a-purpose event where you can literally check off most items on your list, all in one night, setting the stage for less stress and more peace during the Christmas season. Woo hoo!
