Someone Check My Forehead!

[HandsOffItsMine]

Bought my 1st Xmas present on JULY 29th, I blamed it on Blondie's Daily! It was a fluke that I saw something for a Georgia relative so I picked it up.

Today we were in Aiea at the Mall, rare event, but I wanted to redeem our free Farrell's icecream soda floats. Went into a new department store that just anchored there just to see what they had. Low and behold, something jumped out for a friend! Xmas gift number 2 on AUGUST 1st!

Please someone check my forehead 'cause I have to be sick! Running a fever! Now of course these items get a complementing homemade item to go with it, such as a mugrug, iPad holder, whatever. But to find items this far ahead, it too, too weird and not like me.

Is there a Xmas Fairy hovering the MSQC Forum? Blondie, are you working on your Primitives 2013 and you're letting me know to get my (_|_) in gear? What's up???

Anyone else have this disease? It's actually good, yet Don is looking at me funny at the stores though when I mention "Xmas" right now...

WTG Ruby Don't ya just love those jump out at ya gifts that are so appropriate. Wish they would all do that. My biggest problem with Christmas is I have to wrap everything, including DD's things for the kids from Santa. She has no place to hide anything, and they are still at that age. DH is wanting me to get a jump on Christmas this year too. Haven't started yet but plan on getting the ball rolling this month.

Congrats on finding a few gifts early. If I can finish Christmas shopping before Black Friday I am a happy camper!! But that doesn't happen often.

Good for you. I'm not going in a store this year except to get DJ's gifts. All others will be from online. I refuse to walk and wait in lines.

Congratulations on a nice early start. It's time to play some Christmas music.

I have not shopped or made anything yet but plan on having my 65 Christmas cards and envelopes made by the end of the month and also plan on having the little things made for friends by the end of the month also. We'll see how it goes. I'm also making a quilt for my nephews wedding in September. I'm not working right now so I can't use work as an excuse for not getting things done anymore.....UGH!

Good planning! Yea, not working does leave one big major time blocker out as an excuse. I know but my family does accept my charity quilt making as my replacement time hogger. It's all for the hospital or shelter kids, a girl has to do something to fill her time. lol

I picked up my first gift on the 29th too! I found a best of Petticoat Junction (anyone remember that show?) for my Dad, he LOVED watching that show! It was $5 at Walmart, so it'll be a great stocking stuffer Well, I guess it wasn't technically my first, I did order a jelly roll back last month to make a table runner for MIL, but I haven't even unrolled it yet so it doesn't count lol I love Christmas, and the sooner I can get all of my gifts purchased, THE BETTER! But in front of hubs, right now it's the "C" word, I can't say the full word until Tipsy Eve (December 23rd) lol He's a bit of a Grinch, but I'm slowly converting him to the "Dark Side"
