It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, you can hear Mom sneaking around trying to find a roll of tape! Sound familiar? Or maybe, the family is packed up and ready to head out to Grandma’s and there you are, frantically trying to use the last inch of tape to wrap three presents.


This holiday season, save yourself the hassle. Right now, you can stock up early on Scotch® Gift Wrap Tape 3 Pack Caddies and save with a 50% bonus and Rollback. Our local Walmart had them conveniently located right next to the check-out stand! I went ahead and grabbed one, along with a Scotch® Magic™Tape 3 Pack Caddie, so that even if the kids run off with a roll I'll have plenty left in my gift wrapping supplies.

I also snagged a pair of Scotch™ Multi-Purpose Scissors 8" because they were at a great price and I'm pretty sure my husband took my last pair to his shop, otherwise know as where scissors go to die!

Tomorrow, as we pack away the leftovers and cut ourselves one more slice of pie, many of us will turn our thoughts to the next big holiday on the calendar, Christmas.

I love the idea of shopping for Christmas throughout the year but then again, getting great Black Friday deals and heading to the stores where the holiday music is playing and everything is decorated gets me in the spirit! Plus, now is when you get to hear all about the must-have toys of the year, and I'm so happy to be able to share a little about one such toy with you today.

Months ago I convinced myself that I'd take part in one of those One Room Challenges and finally get my office/craft room in working order and looking snazzy. Um, it didn't happen. I mean, I have downsized my craft stash, and that's half the battle, right? I've also been adding bright painted furniture (Some, okay my husband, might go so far as to say obnoxiously bright) but it still felt, eh. Then I had the opportunity to join this month's Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest being sponsored by Velvet Finishes Paint and the theme this month, "Colour Your World."

Tips for Hosting House Guests

It's hard enough to find time to craft, now more than ever, our schedules are filled to the rim. Thankfully, it took me less than 15 minutes to make not one but all four of these ornaments.
