Vacuum Break

Why can't I ever spell vacuum?  I GUESS every time and EVERY time, I'm wrong!  But considering today I called Ash to check the spelling of her 8 year long husband's name...I hopeless!!

So I'm supposed to be picking up the piles of crap  very organized and meaningful things that are all over my house...then I get distracted and I do some laundry...then I remember the floor needs vacuuming to remove the tumbleweeds of hair...and every time the girls start to fight I make them put more of the organized and meaningful things away...

But this time I got really distracted...I've been wanting to share this with you since I got them...but, you know, I forgot....

If you aren't a scrapper or card maker, you might not be interested...but #1) I love etsy and  #2) I love Paper Eclectiques...so I had to share...

Now if you click on the link, you'll get the message that they are on vacay right now, but either check back, or click on the button that sends you an email when they reopen. 

Two or three years ago...I decided my Christmas and Birthday shopping was not going to be dictated by what was in the big box store of the day...So I shop all year...If I see something unique, especially handmade in January for a friend's birthday in August, I buy it...And sometimes my family and friends don't get a gift on "the special occasion" because I haven't found the perfect gift...but I always promise that one is coming and 95% of the time, I deliver :)

BTW - when I saw these tags on Paper Eclectiques, the listings were for 6 of one design....but I didn't want 6 Santas or 6 Naughty or Nice, so I convo'ed them on etsy about a "combo" pack...and within minutes they answered me...asked me to specify which ones I wanted and then created a special listing for me....I LOVE them!!!  And ya' know how I found them...by searching "vintage Christmas paper"...just turns out that they live right down the road...small world... (ps..I never said anyone lived "right down the road" until I moved to the outskirts of Baton Rouge...I was a city until 4 years ago....

I hope whatever is on your "To Do List" today is getting more attention than mine...ahhh... there's always tomorrow....
