Thrilled with After-Christmas Shopping!

I was originally kind of upset this year about after-Christmas shopping. We had scheduled a family function that day that had to be moved up to accomodate my sister's husband's family and I realized I would not be able to step out into that madness of a world (that I love so much) and do my shopping. So, I went a day late. Thank you Gina and Martin :) Not only did I not spend a fortune because a lot was already gone, but it seemed like everything I needed, and wanted, was there!! I was able to get down all the aisles without running into people which was very nice :)

Between Target, The Dollar Tree and Michaels, I bought a new color scheme of ornaments to mix with some of my current ornaments for my tree in the great room.



I was tickled with the "Peanuts" ornaments I found at CVS for my game room Christmas tree (our game room is done in movie/tv memorabalia) for only $2.50 each.



I love to give dinner parties! At Walmart, I found 2 cloth tablecloths, forest green and ivory (with 8 cloth napkins included) for only $3 each. I also found an adorable set of potholders for $1.




I even bought gifts for birthdays and to put away for Christmas next year! What an awesome day of shopping! But my best find ever....my dinner chargers for only $2.50 a set of 4. As I said before, I love doing dinner parties. I dress the whole table with different sets of dishes I have found along with the coordinating chargers. I have been given sets of chargers in the past as gifts (red, silver and gold), but had never made it up to the full amount of 12 of each color. With this shopping trip, I got up to my 12 of each color :)



As I was walking across the parking lot from Target with my lovely chargers, I decided to duck into Michaels for a final browse. Could you believe it?!!!!



Plum chargers!!! Exactly 12 single ones that I got for .75 each. Now my life is complete....ok, a little dramatic, but I do love my chargers :)

Happy After-Christmas shopping to everyone else...even if it is done weeks after :)
