Tomorrow we're heading off to Hawaii for three weeks, and this past week has been a frenzy of activity. I am so ready for vacation, but there are still many hurdles to jump beforehand. The first major task is to get us all packed up and ready for takeoff! Packing for one is pretty easy, but gathering the goods for four proves more challenging.
I've already sent the gifts ahead via snail mail (Hello! $85 in shipping!). So that lightens the load a bit. I even managed to ship off our stockings (I made them last year) -- hopefully that will make it seem like Santa really does exist!
Well dear reader, I'm off now. I gotta get busy, busy, busy. I am also packing my laptop so that I can stay in touch and keep up with my blog reading. I'll also be posting the Gifty! Round 2 information in a future post. I'll be sure to include specific dates and such. After that posts, I'll also make sure to e-mail you your NEW! Gifty partner. Until then, be well!

Those stockings are great!! Especially since you will be in Hawaii this year... they look like Christmas in Hawaii stockings.
I am so jealous- NJ isn't quite the same as Hawaii.... :)
